SYMBOL audio

We handcraft modern audio HIFI consoles and vinyl LP storage cabinets in the tradition of fine furniture. Our consoles bring together time honored analog electronics with digital technology to deliver audiophile sound enriching the connection between the listener and their music. The collection is designed to provide distinctive audio products for the design and quality oriented consumer and is a singular alternative to impersonal mass produced consumer electronics and storage cabinet options available on the market currently.
