Sonorous Studio STA161I Lowboard, Black Glass

The Sonorous Studio STA161I is a wide TV lowboard made of black safety glass that keeps your home cinema gear dust-protected and invisible behind an infrared-transparent glass door.

At 1650 mm wide, it looks delicate despite its size – a dark monolith that simply removes gear clutter from view.

Why the Studio STA161I?

The black glass is thermally toughened, so the heat treatment makes it noticeably more resistant to scratches and breakage than ordinary glass. The large front door opens and closes gently via a gas-pressure damper instead of slamming shut, and because the glass is infrared-transparent, you keep controlling your devices comfortably with the remote even with the door closed.

Hidden castors in the base make the piece movable – handy when cleaning or rewiring – and a cable pass-through in the top plate keeps the cable runs short and tidy.

What you get

A wide, tidy lowboard with generous storage for your entire entertainment setup. The safety-glass top plate holds up to 50 kg, so large TVs or a heavy center speaker are no problem. Ventilation slots make sure that even powerful AV receivers get enough air.

Who is the STA161I for?

For aesthetes who want a wide piece of furniture that still feels light despite its size, and who want their gear to completely disappear. Honestly: black glass attracts dust and fingerprints like a magnet – it's a good idea to keep a microfiber cloth right in the interior compartment. If you're planning very deep high-end power amps, check the mounting depth beforehand, since the cable routing in the back panel takes up about 40 mm.

Our verdict

An elegant statement piece for anyone who loves home cinema but still wants to see it. Wide, calm, high-quality – and thanks to the ventilation, a safe bet for powerful gear too.
