Specifications
Expert Review
The Symbol Audio Dovetail is a masterclass in "plywood as design feature" — the exposed cross-grain edges aren't hidden, they're celebrated.
Construction
18mm Baltic Birch throughout with finger-jointed construction. The exposed plywood edges reveal 13 perfectly uniform birch layers that create a distinctive striped pattern — this is the "plywood aesthetic" that designers pay premium for. Each joint is precision-cut on a CNC and hand-assembled.
Finish Quality
Three coats of water-based polyurethane in satin finish. The clear coat enhances the natural birch color without yellowing. The finish is durable enough for daily use — our scratch test showed excellent resistance.
Vinyl Storage
Designed for vinyl records with optimal 13" cube openings. Holds approximately 300 records. The internal dividers prevent vinyl lean-over. Integrated cable management channel in the back for turntable/amp wiring.
The Premium
This is expensive for "plywood furniture" — but it's handcrafted, CNC-precision, Baltic Birch, and genuinely beautiful. The exposed edges are conversation starters.
