We all love the ritual of spinning vinyl, but let's be honest: finding space for a turntable and a pair of good speakers can be a nightmare in a small apartment or office.
Usually, you have to separate them because the vibrations from the speakers will make your record skip or cause a dreadful buzzing sound (AKA feedback).
Victrola just solved this problem with the new Victrola Soundstage ($349.99), which they just announced at CES 2026.
What is Soundstage?
Think of it as a "soundbase." It's a flat, compact speaker designed specifically to have a turntable sit right on top of it.
It eliminates the need for a receiver, amplifier, or separate bookshelf speakers, giving you a clean, all-in-one set-up that saves a ton of space.
How Does it Not Shake the Record Player?
Here comes the cool part. Putting a speaker under a turntable is usually a recipe for disaster, but Victrola engineered their way around this problem, using two key pieces of tech:
- Symmetric Drive Woofer: This special woofer shoots bass downwards and uses "dual diaphragm" technology to cancel out vibrations. It delivers deep bass without shaking the turntable sitting upstairs.
- Balanced Mode Radiators: instead of traditional tweeters, Soundstage uses balanced mode radiators to project sound.
This creates a massive "sweet spot," meaning the music sounds clear and detailed, no matter where you're standing in the room.
Connect Everything Else
While it's built for vinyl, it's not just for vinyl. Victrola's Soundstage has Bluetooth and Auracast, so you can stream music from your phone or even broadcast your vinyl to other speakers in your house wirelessly.
It also has inputs for USB-C, RCA, and 3.5mm Aux, so you can easily hook up your TV or computer and use it as your main speaker for everything.
Price & Availability
The Victrola Soundstage will be available in Summer 2026 for $349.99. It comes in two different finishes, Walnut or Black, so you can pick whichever color best suits your style.
Now, going back to the "where do I put my speakers" snafu. Does Soundstage solve that problem for your set-up? Let me know if you'd ditch your separate speakers for this all-in-one solution.
