Plyphonic Model C Audio Trolley
The Plyphonic Model C is a compact handmade audio trolley with built-in speakers, amplifier, Bluetooth streaming and storage for more than 75 LPs. A turntable is not included, but can be placed neatly on top.
The Plyphonic Model C is a compact audio furniture piece for music lovers who want vinyl, streaming and interior design to work together. It has a clean modern look and is designed as a central music point in the living room. The top surface can be used for a turntable, while cables can remain neatly hidden from view. Please note: the turntable is not included.
Model C includes Markaudio Alpair ms7 full-range drivers, a Class D amplifier with Texas Instruments technology and Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.1 streaming. This makes it easy to stream music wirelessly from a phone, tablet or laptop. The DSP-based pre-amp with Analog Devices ADAU1701 is custom tuned to the cabinet and speaker combination, helping the trolley deliver a clear and well-balanced sound.
For the cabinet, customers can choose between two types of plywood: pine plywood or Baltic birch plywood. Both versions use 13 layers at 18 mm, creating a strong and durable construction. The lower storage section holds more than 75 LPs, but can also be used for books or accessories when the trolley is mainly used for streaming. This makes the Plyphonic Model C a practical and elegant solution for a smaller vinyl collection and a compact audio setup.

What speakers are built into the Model C?
The cabinet features Markaudio Alpair MS7 full-range drivers, paired with a specially tuned enclosure for clear, room-filling sound.
Does the Model C have a built-in amplifier?
Yes. It uses a Class D amplifier based on Texas Instruments TPA3221 technology, rated at 2 x 100 W, with DSP-based audio tuning.
Can I adjust the sound settings?
Yes. The built-in preamplifier provides volume control and bass and treble equalisation, so you can tailor the sound to your preferences.
How many vinyl records can the cabinet hold?
The Plyphonic Model C offers vertical storage space for more than 75 LPs, depending on sleeve thickness.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Model C?
The cabinet measures 84 cm wide, 72 cm high and 40 cm deep, and weighs approximately 50 kg.
Which materials and finishes are available?
The Model C is crafted from high-grade Baltic birch or pine plywood. A broad selection of laminate colours and a walnut veneer option are listed by the manufacturer; availability may vary by configuration.
Is the Plyphonic Model C delivered assembled?
According to Plyphonic, its furniture is delivered fully assembled and ready to use. The Model C is a convenient choice for anyone seeking a stylish vinyl cabinet with integrated audio.
What should I measure before choosing a record cabinet with turntable space?
Measure the turntable’s full width and depth, including its feet, rear connectors and the space needed to open the dust cover. Also check the cabinet height, the listening position and the route through doors or stairs. A turntable needs a flat, level and stable surface rather than a top that only just fits the plinth.
How many LPs fit in a record cabinet with a turntable stand?
Capacity varies widely across this collection. Compact LP furniture may hold roughly 90–180 records, while larger consoles and cabinets can move into the 300–500-plus range. Gatefold sleeves, outer covers and the browsing space left between records all reduce the practical total.
Does every LP cabinet in this collection also have space for an amplifier?
No. Some models combine a turntable surface with dedicated equipment shelves, while others focus on record storage and the record player alone. Check the amplifier filter and the product dimensions when an integrated hi-fi compartment is essential.
Why use dedicated LP furniture instead of an ordinary sideboard?
A purpose-built record cabinet is proportioned for upright 12-inch sleeves and the concentrated weight of a collection. Many designs also consider cable access, component ventilation and front browsing. An ordinary sideboard may work, but its internal height, shelf load and rear access should be checked first.
Which types of record cabinet with turntable space are available?
The collection includes low sideboards, audio consoles, modular cube systems and open display furniture. Examples range from the expandable Kiyo R1 Bundle and Display LUNA to solid-wood cabinets such as PLAY and Curtis. The right format depends on collection size, room width and whether the setup also includes a television or amplifier.
Do these record cabinets arrive assembled?
Assembly varies by product. Kiyo and Display LUNA are delivered as modular or flat-packed systems, while several Pastform and Studio Bours cabinets arrive assembled. Check the individual product page before ordering, especially when access to the room is narrow.
Where should speakers be placed in relation to the turntable cabinet?
Avoid placing speakers directly beside the turntable when vibration or acoustic feedback can reach the stylus. A stable cabinet, separate speaker supports and some distance between deck and speakers usually give the turntable a quieter working surface.
How can I organize vinyl inside a cabinet with a record player on top?
Store records upright, leave enough room to remove sleeves without force and use dividers for artists, genres or new arrivals. Choose LP storage with spare capacity so the record shelf does not become tightly packed after the next few purchases.
