"Modern vinyl enthusiasts often face two options: spend money and time building a hi-fi system complete with external speakers, receivers, and a multitude of wires, or opt for a compact, all-in-one system that sacrifices sound quality for convenience. Victrola's CES 2026 announcement aims to bridge this gap for its customers, offering a high-quality solution to a wide range of listeners."
"According to Victrola, the Soundstage features a Symmetric Drive Woofer with dual diaphragm technology, designed to deliver a full bass response without emitting vibrations. Victrola says harmful low frequencies are detected through the down-firing Symmetric Drive Woofer and rear-facing ports. Any vibrations from a soundbase or external speakers near a vinyl player can disrupt the turntable's stylus and create a rumbly, distorted bass response."
"The Victrola Soundstage is the company's first soundbase, a compact speaker that goes under your record player, offering wireless connectivity, high-quality sound, and a compact design. It's an option for people who don't want to invest in the potentially time-consuming process of building a vinyl system but still need to save space. I demoed the Soundstage at CES 2026, and it's a promising speaker for vinyl beginners and dedicated hobbyists."
The Victrola Soundstage is a compact soundbase that fits under a record player and can replace bookshelf or tabletop speakers in a vinyl setup. It offers wireless connectivity and a design intended to save space for listeners who do not want a full hi-fi rig. The Soundstage uses a Symmetric Drive Woofer with dual diaphragm technology and down-firing woofers plus rear-facing ports to detect and manage harmful low frequencies. Those measures aim to deliver full bass response without emitting vibrations that can disrupt a turntable's stylus and cause rumbly, distorted bass. Soundbases remain a small but emerging market for vinyl fans.
