Make it Large
The Modern Record Console is hand-tooled from solid American walnut, and houses a turntable and a valve amp set into patinated steel plate that’s like something from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop circa 1962. And warm, nostalgic audio isn’t the end of the story. Lurking in the steel base is a second amp and a subwoofer, while wi-fi and a built-in router allow streaming from any digital source.

Focussed Hearing
The Soundblazer can shoot beams of pure noise at a focussed point—your ears being one obvious choice. In technical terms, it’s a parametric speaker, emitting concentrated ultrasonic carrier waves that are generally too high pitched to be heard unless you’re the designated target.

Cool Cans
These wireless, noise-cancelling Parrot Zik headphones have a panel on the side for the track and volumes changes. It also pauses your music when you take them off.

Go Retro
The Case of Bass boom box could be perfect for a street party or as a classic retro element for your space. Brothers Ezra and Alex Cimino-Hurt of Portland, USA, have taken vintage suitcases from across the world and fit them with rewcycled stereo parts. They can be customised and include input types, amplifier sizes and run on low-impact, rechargeable batteries. Every piece is special, as the designers partner with local businesses, artists and craftsmen.
