Wooden hi-fi rack with a pull-out base for a turntable and its own CD compartment (at the bottom)

A hi-fi rack or phono rack is a special shelf for a stereo system (hi-fi tower).

The width is usually matched to the usual dimensions of hi-fi components such as amplifiers , CD players , tape decks , tuners and record players (typically around 44-46 cm). Compartments for storing LPs , CDs or pull-out shelves complete the shelf. Common materials are metal or wood for load-bearing elements and glass for the individual floors and doors. With the merging of listening to music and television ( home cinema ) since around the year 2000, more and more pieces of furniture are being offered that have space for a TV set above and the other devices such as digital receivers and AV receivers are housed in the shelves. Due to this development and the reduction in the number of individual components required for listening to music, the spread of conventional racks has tended to decrease since the 2010s.
