Loia: French design for music, vinyl and Hi-Fi
LOIA Le Meuble Digger Hi-Fi Furniture
The LOIA Le Meuble Digger is a refined hi-fi furniture piece with room for a turntable, audio equipment and up to 350 records. Made in France, it combines a powder-coated steel structure with warm walnut panels.
The LOIA Le Meuble Digger is designed for music lovers who want to bring their turntable, hi-fi equipment and record collection together in one organised setup. The wide and deep top shelf is suitable for turntables, while the open shelves provide space for amplifiers, CD players and other audio equipment. The open rear shelves support proper ventilation, and adjustable metal cable grommets help keep cables neatly managed.
The furniture is built around an ultra-rigid powder-coated steel structure combined with walnut panels. Its folds and welds are designed to absorb unwanted vibration and provide optimal stability for hi-fi components. This makes Le Meuble Digger both a strong design piece and a practical foundation for a serious audio system.
For vinyl storage, Le Meuble Digger offers generous capacity. The upper storage compartment, inspired by the Digger model, holds up to 110 records, while the lower compartments hold up to 240 records. An upper hook provides a convenient place to keep records while listening. In this way, LOIA combines hi-fi furniture, vinyl storage and easy record browsing in one compact and elegant design.

How many records fit in the LOIA Digger hi-fi furniture?
The upper front-browsing section holds approximately 110 LPs and the lower record-storage section about 240 LPs. Together that gives a stated capacity of roughly 350 records, depending on sleeve thickness.
What are the dimensions and weight of Le Meuble Digger?
The unit measures 77 cm high, 86.5 cm wide and 37.5 cm deep, with a listed weight of 48 kg. Plan a stable, level position before loading the cabinet with records and equipment.
How does the upper flip-browse section work?
The upper bin presents sleeves from the front, so recently played or frequently used LPs can be browsed without reading spines. This arrangement is useful for collectors who prefer a record-shop style of organizing vinyl.
Can a turntable sit on top of the Digger cabinet?
Yes. The wide top is designed for a turntable and includes a hook or holder for the listening record. Check the deck footprint and leave room behind it for the dust cover and signal cables.
What equipment fits on the internal shelves?
The equipment shelves provide approximately 14.5 cm of vertical clearance and are rated for up to 14 kg each. Measure the amplifier or streamer carefully, including connectors and ventilation clearance.
How does the cabinet handle cables and amplifier ventilation?
The rear is open and the console includes adjustable cable grommets. This keeps connections accessible and supports airflow, although high-temperature components still need their manufacturer’s recommended clearance.
What is the LOIA Digger made from?
It combines powder-coated steel with walnut elements and is made in France. The cabinet is available with white or black metalwork, giving buyers a choice without changing the practical LP storage layout.
What should I know about delivery and returns?
The listed shipping time is approximately two to three days when available, and a 14-day return period applies. Because the unit weighs about 48 kg, plan the route from the entrance to its final position before delivery.
What should I measure before buying an LP cabinet with amplifier space?
Measure the amplifier’s width, height and depth, including feet, control knobs, rear plugs and cable bends. The usable compartment must also leave the ventilation clearance stated in the amplifier manual. Measuring only the metal case can produce a shelf that is technically wide enough but unusable once cables are connected.
Do record cabinets with amplifier space include cable management?
Many products use open backs, cable grommets or rear openings, but the arrangement differs by model. LOIA consoles use open rear sections and cable routes, while other record sideboards place openings behind equipment bays. Check where power, speaker and signal cables need to enter and leave.
Can a turntable and amplifier share the same record cabinet?
Yes, when the top is level and stable and the equipment compartment provides enough airflow. The turntable should not sit directly beside speakers or above a heat source. An LP cabinet that separates playback, amplification and record storage makes the setup easier to service and organize.
How much vinyl storage is available in an amplifier cabinet?
The collection covers compact cabinets below 100 LPs as well as larger audio furniture holding several hundred records. Capacity depends on how much of the cabinet is reserved for equipment, drawers or closed storage, so compare the product-specific LP count rather than judging by external width alone.
Is an open or closed amplifier compartment better?
An open compartment makes controls and cables accessible and generally supports airflow. A closed section can reduce visual clutter, but it needs suitable ventilation openings and enough internal clearance. The amplifier manufacturer’s instructions should take priority over the furniture’s appearance.
Which materials are used for record cabinets with audio equipment space?
The collection includes powder-coated steel consoles, solid-wood furniture, plywood audio consoles and mixed wood-and-metal constructions. Check shelf load as well as material: a large amplifier, turntable and row of LPs place concentrated weight on the furniture.
How can I prevent an amplifier from overheating inside LP furniture?
Do not block the amplifier’s ventilation slots, stack items directly on top or push rear connectors against the back panel. Leave the clearance specified by the equipment maker and keep doors open during use when the furniture design requires it.
What other hi-fi equipment can fit in these record cabinets?
Depending on the compartment dimensions, the cabinet may hold a phono stage, streamer, receiver, active speakers or power supplies as well as an amplifier. Measure every component separately and include space for controls, remote sensors and heat dissipation.
