AVCOM Short Hi-Fi Cabinet Black Custom Bundle

This custom bundle features a modular door system and specific architectural considerations, such as skirting board cut-outs, to provide a flush-fit aesthetic for home audio environments.
See live pricesOverview and Construction
The AVCOM Short Hi-Fi Cabinet is engineered as a practical storage unit for enthusiasts of high-fidelity audio and vinyl records. Constructed to accommodate standard hi-fi separates, the unit focuses on spatial efficiency. A notable design element is the inclusion of skirting board cut-outs at the base, which allows the cabinet to sit flush against a wall despite the presence of architectural mouldings. This ensures a seamless integration into domestic living spaces while preventing items from falling behind the unit.
Custom Bundle Features
This specific bundle offers a degree of customisation regarding both aesthetics and ergonomics. Users can select a matching door in three distinct finishes: Oak, Black, or Navy. Furthermore, the unit supports a reversible configuration, allowing the door to be installed for either right or left-hand opening. The door itself features a slatted design; this is a functional choice intended to allow infrared (IR) signals from remote controls to pass through to internal components while the door remains closed.
Connectivity and Cable Management
To address the common issue of cable clutter in audio-visual setups, the AVCOM Short Hi-Fi Cabinet includes dedicated cable cut-outs on the rear panel. This allows for tidy routing of power leads and interconnects between devices. By consolidating these paths, the cabinet assists in maintaining a clean aesthetic and reducing the risk of signal interference caused by tangled wiring.
Suitability and Comparisons
The unit is primarily suited for home users who require a dedicated space for an LP collection or a compact stack of hi-fi components. Compared to industrial or studio-focused alternatives like the Gator GR-STUDIO-4U or the Adam Hall SM700, the AVCOM model prioritises domestic aesthetics and furniture-like integration. While it shares a market space with other AVCOM models like the Large TV Cabinet or the 3-shelf Walnut variant, the 'Short' configuration is tailored for smaller spaces or lower-profile setups.
