Thanks to the folks over at Uncrate, I was introduced to Wrensilva’s new Loft Record Console. Packed with the power of a full size console, analog and streaming audio, 300 watts per channel amplifier, a turntable, SONOS functionality, audio and RCA jacks, the Loft is designed to take up far less space than most record consoles.
Wrensilva’s Loft Record Console
Made with Walnut wood and white (or black) acrylic accents, the Wrensilva Loft is a standalone unit that can play your new and vintage vinyl on its fantastic sounding turntable.
It can be used with the most demanding speakers and also has the ability to connect wirelessly to all Sonos speakers.
Or it can be purchased as a complete package with matching Wrensilva Monitor speakers and included welded steel speaker stands.
Constructed of solid North American Walnut hardwood with gloss white acrylic details, the 28″W x 33″H x 18″D unit has a sculptural console base and (optional)* speaker stands made of naturally patinated hand-welded steel.
Solid aluminum knobs and engraved faceplates add sophistication and the console can store up to 120 LPs (records for you young folks) with its removable rounded-edge steel shelf.
It also contains a Capture tray for a record brush, your mobile devices and more.
They’ve also added a spinning record sleeve display slot in the lid.
Because it has a full set of RCA inputs, you can attach anything from an old school cassette deck to a digital cable box to the console.
