Wrensilva Introduces Studio, Its Most Accessible Record Console Yet

Wrensilva has introduced Studio, a new record console designed to bring the company’s furniture-grade approach to vinyl playback into smaller rooms, creative spaces, retail settings, and hospitality environments.

The San Diego-based company has built its reputation on record consoles that sit somewhere between hi-fi system, design object, and living-room centerpiece. With Studio, Wrensilva appears to be making that idea more compact and more attainable without abandoning the materials and visual language that have defined the brand’s larger consoles.

Studio measures 31 inches wide, 17 inches deep, and 33 inches tall, making it the smallest and most flexible entry in the Wrensilva Record Console Collection. The console is handmade in San Diego and finished in natural walnut with charcoal speaker fabric. Behind its textured door is storage for roughly 40 albums, which is a practical touch for anyone who wants a contained, intentional listening setup rather than another sprawling stack of gear and records.

The design is built around a smoked acrylic lid, a lighted turntable deck, and a brushed aluminum pedestal base inlaid with walnut. It is clearly meant to be seen as much as heard. Wrensilva’s appeal has always depended on a particular proposition: that music playback can be part of the room rather than a technical intrusion into it. Inside, Studio uses a floating, under-platter belt-driven turntable, solid-state electronics, and a 100-watt-per-channel Class D amplifier powering custom 2-way bass reflex speakers.

The turntable includes a frosted acrylic platter, a one-piece magnesium tonearm, and an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Wrensilva says the console’s sound was shaped with input from figures including Manny Marroquin and Giles Martin, which gives the launch a useful studio-world connection without turning the product into a piece of professional equipment.

Studio is also built for the way many people actually listen now. Vinyl is central, but the console also supports Bluetooth, auxiliary input, and optional Sonos multi-room integration. Most homes are - after all - hybrid listening environments.

Debra Salyer, Wrensilva’s co-founder and head of design, described Studio as a console made for people who want music to “live with them” rather than become another thing to manage. That may be the most interesting part of the announcement. At its best, Studio seems less like an audiophile trophy and more like an argument for lowering the friction around serious listening. Not cheap listening, exactly, but simpler listening.

Studio joins Wrensilva’s existing lineup, which includes the flagship M1 and The Standard. It is available now exclusively through Wrensilva, with pricing starting at $9,900.

For listeners who already have separates, racks, cartridges, cables, and opinions, Studio may not be the point. But for the person who wants records, good sound, and a piece of furniture that does not apologize for being in the room, Wrensilva’s newest console is worth noting. It brings vinyl playback back toward something older and perhaps more humane: a dedicated place in the home where music can just...happen.
