You'll be Shouting, "Four Shelves Forever!"
Say it loud and proud. "Four shelves forever!' The four-shelf, double-width Solidsteel VL-4 Modular Vinyl Library Rack has plenty of storage for both your LP collection and your audio gear. Now, we're not claiming that it will last forever, but thanks to its super-strong construction, the VL-4 will serve you for years and years with performance-enhancing support. And it may well be the last component rack you'll ever need.
In recent years the rediscovery of vinyl has ignited the hi-fi world, rivaling streaming as a favorite music source for many music lovers. Whether you already have a large collection of LPs, or you are just starting out, Solidsteel's new VL Series product line is an ideal all-in-one solution. The series is unique in offering not only safe, strong storage of your audio gear, but it also gives you rock-solid storage of your vinyl record albums.
The double-width design is unique and can be especially convenient for 'spreading out' your gear and your records if you have that extra bit of floor space. And because the VL Series is modular, you can add or subtract shelves as your needs grow or shrink.
Superior Storage Space
The VL-4 boasts plenty of storage space, with overall dimensions of 37.7" high, 50.4" wide, and 16.1" deep. The top shelf measures 50.4" wide and 16.1" deep, and with a weight capacity of 264.5 lb., it will accommodate your turntable plus another piece of gear. The three lower shelves are 50.4" wide and 16.1" deep with usable space of 18.9" wide (x 2) and a weight capacity of 264.5 lb. per shelf.
The usable vertical space between the top shelf and shelf #2, and between shelf #2 and shelf #3 is 8.8". Usable vertical space between shelf #3 and shelf #4 (the bottom shelf, featuring LP storage) is 12.8" to easily accommodate your record albums.
And speaking of record albums, the bottom shelf will hold around 200 LPs in its two sections.
VL-4 Construction Details
The materials used in the VL-4 are finely crafted and carefully selected, and the rack is Italian-built. The frame consists of parts used in Solidsteel's famous S Series component racks. The support posts are made of anodized aluminum and are filled with an absorbent material to dampen vibrations. The screws are galvanized. Various metal parts, including the bottom and top ends, are galvanized and finished in powder-coating to avoid the risk of rust over time.
The extremely rigid shelves are made of 0.9"-thick MDF finished with high quality polymeric laminates in your choice of black or walnut finish.
Vibration Damping
Solidsteel's adjustable stainless steel spike feet are included for another degree of isolation and to provide convenient leveling. Protective floor discs are also included. All the hardware frame parts use inner spikes that increase vibration damping, isolating your gear from room resonance for a nice upgrade in the listening experience.
