The LOIA Vinyl Console is designed for music lovers who want to keep their turntable, hi-fi equipment and favourite records together in one compact setup. The top shelf is suitable for turntables, while the open shelves provide space for an amplifier, CD player or other audio components. The open rear design supports ventilation and makes cable routing easier.

FAQs LOIA The Vinyl Console
How many records can the LOIA Vinyl Console store?
The console holds up to approximately 120 LPs in its record-storage section. Actual capacity varies with gatefold sleeves, outer protectors and the amount of free space kept for browsing.
What are the measurements of the LOIA black walnut vinyl console?
It measures 50 cm high, 87 cm wide and 37.5 cm deep, and weighs about 25 kg. These low, wide proportions allow the unit to function as compact LP furniture beneath a turntable.
Is the top large enough for a record player?
The top is designed for a turntable and includes a holder for the LP currently in use. Compare the turntable footprint with the 87 × 37.5 cm top and allow extra rear clearance for cables and a hinged dust cover.

What audio equipment fits on the internal shelves?
The console has equipment shelves with approximately 17.9 cm of vertical space. Measure the amplifier, streamer or phono stage including feet and connectors, and leave ventilation space rather than relying only on the stated shelf height.
How much weight can each equipment shelf carry?
Each equipment shelf is rated for up to 14 kg. Check the full component weight and avoid concentrating several heavy devices on one level.
How are cables and heat managed in this audio furniture?
The rear is open for ventilation and cable access. This helps keep power and interconnects organized, but warm-running amplifiers still need free space above and around their ventilation openings.
Which materials and finishes are used?
The console combines powder-coated steel with walnut elements and is available with taupe or black metalwork. The material combination gives the record cabinet a rigid frame while retaining a warmer wood surface around the vinyl setup.
Does the LOIA Vinyl Console require assembly?
Assembly information is supplied for the product, so plan time to put the unit together and position it before loading records. Delivery is listed at roughly two to three days when available, with a 14-day return period.
Collection FAQs
How do I choose the right record cabinet for the size of my collection?
Count your LPs, then choose a record cabinet with enough capacity for the records you own now and some unused space for future purchases. Measure the available width, height and depth, including room for doors, drawers, cables and ventilation. Also decide whether the cabinet must support a turntable, amplifier or television; the AllVinyl collection can be filtered by capacity, dimensions and space for audio equipment.
How many LPs fit in a record cabinet, and why can the stated capacity vary?
Capacity figures are approximate because gatefold albums, box sets, outer sleeves and dividers occupy more space than standard single sleeves. A useful estimate is around 10–12 conventionally sleeved LPs per 3 cm, but records should not be packed so tightly that they are difficult to remove. AllVinyl models range from around 60 LPs per Kiyo compartment to 260 in the listed MOEBE configuration, 350 in the LOIA Digger and more than 400 in Plyphonic Model A.
How much extra record storage should I allow for a growing vinyl collection?
A sensible planning margin is approximately 20–30% above your current collection. Someone with 200 LPs should therefore consider record storage for roughly 240–260 records rather than buying a cabinet that is full on arrival. For collections that grow unpredictably, modular systems such as Kiyo and MOEBE can be rearranged or expanded instead of being replaced.

Can I place my turntable on top of the record cabinet?
Yes, provided the top is sufficiently large, level, rigid and rated for the weight of the turntable. Compare the turntable footprint with the usable surface and leave room for the dust cover, power lead and audio cables. Turntable manufacturer Pro-Ject advises placing a turntable on a level surface; AllVinyl models explicitly intended for turntable use include GRAM, PLAY, Curtis and LOIA Le Meuble Digger.
Which record cabinets also have space for an amplifier and other audio equipment?
Look for compartments with sufficient internal width, depth, height and load capacity—not merely a shelf that looks large enough in a photograph. GRAM has a middle shelf intended for an amplifier, LOIA Le Meuble Digger has open equipment shelves rated up to 14 kg each, and KRON has a central area with cable openings for an amplifier or streamer. MOEBE provides adjustable open shelving, while the Plyphonic models integrate amplification and other audio equipment into the furniture itself.
Do the cabinets include cable management and sufficient ventilation for audio equipment?
This differs by model. LOIA Le Meuble Digger has an open rear and adjustable cable grommets, MOEBE has open sides and backs, and KRON includes cable openings in its central equipment section. LOTV Vinyl Slide also has cable openings, but equipment placed behind closed doors must still have the clearance required by its manufacturer. Denon, for example, recommends around 15 cm above and 5 cm at either side of its AV receivers and warns against blocking their upper vents.
What is the difference between open record storage, closed cabinets and pull-out record drawers?
Open vinyl storage makes the collection easy to see and browse and generally provides better airflow around audio equipment, although records remain more exposed to dust and light. Closed cabinets create a quieter visual arrangement and reduce everyday dust exposure, but access and equipment ventilation require more attention. Front-browsing compartments and pull-out storage make it easier to flip through covers; GRAM and Curtis are designed around browsing access, while LOTV Vinyl Slide combines vertical LP storage with sliding-door compartments.
How should record cabinets store LPs vertically or horizontally, and which record cabinets do it properly?
LPs should be stored vertically, on edge, with enough lateral support to prevent them from leaning. Long-term horizontal stacks place unnecessary weight on the lower records and should not be the main storage method. Both the Canadian Conservation Institute and NEDCC recommend vertical storage for disc media. AllVinyl designs that explicitly provide supported vertical or angled storage include Curtis, the Sinfonic Audio cabinet, Kiyo’s 33 × 33 × 33 cm compartments, LOTV Vinyl Slide and the adjustable MOEBE system.
Are the record cabinets modular, expandable or available in custom dimensions and finishes?
Some are. Kiyo can be reconfigured and extended with additional modules, while MOEBE can grow in both width and height. Display LUNA also uses a modular construction. For made-to-order LP furniture, Sinfonic Audio offers a selectable number of compartments and alternative woods, Curtis can be adapted through custom work, and Plyphonic models are produced to order in selected finishes.
Do the cabinets arrive assembled, and what should I check before delivery?
Delivery and assembly depend on the maker. Kiyo arrives flat-packed and uses a tool-free magnetic connection system; MOEBE requires self-assembly; Display LUNA includes instructions and the necessary tools. Pastform models such as PLAY, LOTV, KRON and GRAM arrive assembled and include indoor delivery in the listed countries, while LOIA Le Meuble Digger is delivered ready-made on a pallet. Before ordering, measure doorways, corridors, stairs, lifts and tight corners, and check whether delivery is to the front door, inside the home or on a pallet.
