CES 2026: Victrola Soundstage Soundbase Speaker
Everyone loves vinyl records, and both vinyls and turntables have seen a massive popularity surge in the last decade. The only issue is that with traditional turntables, you need multiple elements to get the most out of your sound, from a receiver or preamp and amplifier configuration to multiple stereo speakers and beyond. That's where the all-new Victrola Soundstage comes in, showcased first at CES 2026. This soundbase combines multiple elements that every audio lover needs from their system in one compact frame: a speaker, wired and wireless connectivity, and a vibration-reducing platform designed to fit right beneath a turntable. The simple, stylish and retro vibe of the Victrola Soundstage turns what we consider system must-haves on their heads. It's no substitute for a complete audio setup, especially if you have a taste for real high fidelity, but Victrola's created something compact that budding record-lovers on a budget can enjoy even if they don't have too much space.
An All-In-One Speaker for Modern Listeners
Victrola is one of the most well-known names in the turntable industry, and they make record players at all kinds of price points—which is just one of the reasons why they've become popular among new listeners. From nostalgic designs to gear that works well with the latest audio technology, Victrola turntables are seamless. The all-in-one Victrola Soundstage was made to solve a common problem: for someone who's bought their first few records and a turntable, what do they do next—especially if they don't want to invest in a ton of audio gear before they know that they love the warmth of listening to vinyl records?
So, what can the all-in-one Victrola Soundstage do? It acts as a wired or wireless speaker depending on the user's preferences, and can connect to multiple different inputs thanks to wired USB-C, 3.5 mm AUX, RCA, Bluetooth and Auracast compatibility. With this, users can play music from TVs, computers, phones and other audio sources, then shift to a warmer hi-fi vibe with their favorite records. And with Auracast, you can broadcast sound to multiple speakers all across your home for a wireless yet vinyl experience.
How Is The Sound Quality?
The Victrola Soundstage is designed to bring home amazing sound quality, all within an extremely small space. Every element inside the speaker's body is made to bring warm, rich tones to everything you're listening to, from punchy bass in a hip-hop album to warm acoustics in something a little smoother. The brand has included their Balanced Mode Radiator, or BMR™ technology, to bring a spacious spread of stereo sound to every track played. You'll hear detailed audio from anywhere in the room. And while Victrola describes this as a model able to deliver high-fidelity audio, a large part of the sound quality comes from a sturdy soundbase with little to no vibration beneath.
A Vibration-Reduction Soundbase
The Victrola Soundstage is a great pick for new turntable owners who might not know just how important a stable base is to sound quality. As a soundbase, the Soundstage is crafted to keep as much vibration as possible away from what you hear. Vibration isolation is key: it's what keeps the lows sounding their best, and the Victrola Soundstage uses its down-firing Symmetric Drive Woofer, or SDW™ to reach that incredible level of bass with such a small footprint. Dual diaphragms even cancel out vibrations for a perfectly grounded platform that keeps the turntable above free from gentle shakes.
So, Who Is This For?
If you're surrounded by existing bookshelf speakers, floor speakers, a pre-amp and other audio gear, there's a good chance that the Victrola Soundstage is not for you. This pick is an incredible choice for the new listener, however, thanks to all of the ways they can connect, its epic sound quality, multifunctionality and ultra-small footprint. Anyone who is just getting started in their love of vinyl music should take a serious look at this CES 2026 standout. Thanks to its Walnut or Black finish, it can look great in any space, too.
Victrola has announced that the Soundstage will be available to purchase in the summer of this year for just $349.99, and that's a real steal for how much this speaker combo can do. Keep an eye on Abt, we might carry this exciting speaker combo here ourselves. And while we've loved covering CES 2026, the week is coming to a close. From RGB TV technology to all-new audio, AI-packed appliances and robots, there's always something exciting to see at the Las Vegas convention.
