This speaker from Victrola fits under turntables and streams audio via Bluetooth

The famous vinyl turntable manufacturer Victrola has just announced the Soundstage speaker at CES. This slim little gadget actually sits underneath the decks, eliminating the need for a full stereo setup. The Soundstage isn’t the first speaker to offer this feature, but this one has some cutting-edge features.

It offers several connection options, including Bluetooth. Many newer Victrola turntables can do Bluetooth streaming, so it would be extremely simple to add this speaker to a setup. Otherwise, companies offer Bluetooth receivers for vinyl turntables.

It also allows traditional wired connections and there is an option for USB-C. In other words, the Soundstage should easily connect to other audio sources like smartphones and computers. It even integrates with Auracast for multi-speaker setups.

As for sound, Victrola promises superior sound thanks to a “vibration-isolated design.” There is a specialized woofer for bass response and balanced mode radiators (a type of driver) for stereo separation. It probably won’t sound as good as a full audio system, but, again, think about all those annoying wires.

The Soundstage will be available this summer and costs $350. There will be several colors, including walnut and black.
