Atacama Apollo Podium 10 Hi-Fi Rack Inc. Base Shelf
Drawing inspiration from the popular Podium range by Hifi Racks Ltd, this modular rack combines clean design with high-performance audio support. The standout feature is the top-mounted vinyl storage module, allowing easy access to your favourite records while keeping them right next to your turntable. Built from solid European oak, each module delivers durability and a refined aesthetic that suits any listening room. With adjustable brass and zinc-coated isolation spikes, the Apollo Podium 10 minimises vibration for improved sound clarity. Choose from 150mm, 200mm, or 250mm shelf heights and stack up to a maximum of 1200mm for a custom configuration that fits your space and equipment perfectly. The vinyl storage module is adaptable, featuring a reversible aperture and a grooved anti-slip board for added stability. Proudly made in the UK, the Apollo Podium 10 offers a flexible and reliable solution for audiophiles who value both form and function. Please note: Apollo Podium 10 modules are not compatible with the Hifi Racks Ltd Podium range.

About Atacama Audio 
Atacama Audio, formerly known as Sambell Engineering Ltd, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1969 as a sub-contract engineering company specialising in aerospace work. With a strong reputation as a trusted supplier to prestigious companies like Rolls Royce and British Aerospace, Atacama Audio transitioned into manufacturing its own commercial products. In 1987, Atacama Audio developed an innovative HiFi speaker stand, which garnered positive feedback from local retailers. Despite being temporarily put on hold in 1988 due to overwhelming manufacturing demands, the interest in the speaker stands remained. The success continued with various award-winning products, including the Atacama Eris Eco 5, Evoque Eco 60-40, Moseco Speaker Stand, and Apollo Storm 6 modular HiFi rack. As a company committed to innovation, Atacama Audio constantly explores new concepts in HiFi furniture design. Their latest range, the NeXXus series of speaker stands, offers adaptability, upgradability, and a wide range of customisation options. Atacama Audio and Apollo HiFi furniture strives to exceed customer expectations, providing exceptional HiFi speaker stands and AV rack support designs. The company looks forward to introducing even more innovative designs in the future.

Isolation is built into the rack
The Evoque Eco range uses ASIST damping gaskets as standard, along with a mechanical grounding system and modular isolation components. The SE2 versions add vectored resonance channels and contoured shelving. All of this is aimed at controlling vibration at the shelf, where it affects your sources.
Bamboo and oak, in several finishes
Bamboo panels are used in the Evoque range, and solid oak in the Apollo Storm and Apollo Podium ranges. Finishes include natural oak, dark oak, natural bamboo and dark bamboo, plus a Premium Black Edition, so a rack can be matched to the room it sits in.
Modular racks, with vinyl storage on some
The Apollo and Evoque racks are modular, so you can put together a rack that suits the equipment you own and add to it later. Apollo Storm and Apollo Podium offer vinyl storage, and it is an option on the Elite Reference Series.
Why we stock Atacama
Atacama have taken What Hi-Fi?'s Best Hi-Fi Rack award in multiple years, which is not something that happens by accident in a category where most products look much the same. Support matters more than people expect: a good rack does for your electronics roughly what isolation feet do for a turntable.
