Loia: French design for music, vinyl and Hi-Fi
LOIA La Console Vinyles Acier
The LOIA La Console Vinyles Acier is a compact hi-fi console made from black powder-coated steel, with room for a turntable, audio equipment and up to 150 records.
The LOIA La Console Vinyles Acier is designed for music lovers who want to bring their turntable, hi-fi equipment and favourite records together in one compact setup. The top shelf is made to accommodate turntables, while the two open shelves provide space for amplifiers, CD players or other audio components. The open rear design supports proper ventilation, and adjustable metal cable grommets help keep cables neatly organised.
The console is made entirely from powder-coated steel and produced in France. Its steel structure weighs more than 30 kg and is designed to absorb unwanted vibration while providing excellent stability for hi-fi equipment. This makes it a strong, durable and practical base for a serious audio setup.
The lower compartment offers storage for up to 150 records. An upper hook gives you a convenient place to keep records while listening. In this way, LOIA combines turntable furniture, a hi-fi rack and vinyl storage in one clean, minimal and highly functional design.

What is the LP capacity of La Console Vinyles Acier?
The lower section stores approximately 150 records. Capacity can be slightly lower when the collection contains many gatefold albums or thick outer sleeves.
How much floor space does this record storage unit need?
The steel console measures 77 cm high, 52.5 cm wide and 37.5 cm deep. Allow additional space behind it for plugs and cable bends, even though the rear is open.
Can I use the top as a turntable stand?
Yes. The top is intended for a record player and includes a place for the sleeve or LP currently being played. Check that the turntable and open dust cover fit within the available width and depth.
How much room is available for an amplifier or streamer?
The console includes two equipment shelves, each with approximately 17.9 cm of vertical space. Compare these dimensions with the equipment itself and retain enough air around any component that produces heat.
What is the maximum shelf load?
Each internal shelf is listed for a maximum load of 14 kg. Place heavier equipment centrally and do not exceed the limit with stacked components.
Does this LP cabinet hide cables?
Adjustable cable grommets help route cables through the unit, while the open rear keeps connectors accessible. The console organizes wiring rather than completely enclosing it, which also benefits ventilation.
What colours and materials are available?
The console is made in France from powder-coated steel and is offered in white or black. The finish can be wiped with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive or aggressive chemical cleaners.
What are the delivery and return terms?
The listed shipping time is about two to three days when stock is available. A 14-day return period is stated, so inspect the powder-coated surfaces and confirm that the size suits the listening area before discarding the packaging.
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.
