Audiowood makes wooden turntables, speakers, and other stereo and AV equipment. Our designs combine a high-performance modern aesthetic with natural forms.
Sit and Spin is our first version of a concept that has been floating around for a bit, but that hadn't yet been properly executed...a turntable/coffee table!
While we can do custom versions in a wide variety of materials and designs. The one pictured features a long piece of live edge walnut combined with an ebonized sapele frame and an audiophile-grade parts kit by Rega.
One of the key features of this design is that it has an integrated phono preamp and cd-quality wireless sender built in, along with a lithium ion rechargeable battery. Simply connect the wireless receiver unit to your home stereo, turn on Sit and Spin’s turntable, and play some records. After several hours of listening, Sit and Spin’s battery can be easily recharged for the next listening session. No cords!
A wide variety of components and features is available. Pricing starts at $4000.00 and versions are available for both the US and international use.
The $50 price is a non-refundable deposit that guarantees one’s place in the cue of orders. Please contact us for specific pricing and options.
Sonoscenes combine one-of-a-kind artwork and high quality stereo audio. These stereo/artworks are the result of several years of research finding and designing the best speaker and amplifier components that would allow for integration into unique artworks.
Sonoscenes are available with integrated stereo speakers and also have the option of including an audiophile grade (Gain Clone) integrated amplifier with 3 inputs and a subwoofer output. The amplifier is specifically designed for this application, so only 2 small control knobs are visible on most Sonoscenes.
Each Sonoscene is a unique artwork.
These art/audio pieces are available in either wall-hung or console models, but fully custom versions are available as well. And Sonoscenes can feature almost any imaginable form of artwork, from portraits, to graffiti, to 3D constructions. Almost anything is possible.
Sonoscene 2 is the second collaboration between artist Meek of Topmob and Joel Scilley of Audiowood. It features a pair of quality coaxial speakers and an integrated amplifier that features bluetooth, wifi, analog and optical audio options. The amplifier uses an optical remote, but also can be controlled using a mobile app with wifi connection. The amp can be used with either (US standard) 110V/60hz or (Euro standard) 230V/50hz power (with plug adapter, not included).
This Sonoscene is a tabletop construction, designed to be placed on a console table or the like. It's footprint is approximately 12" D x 40" W.
Delivery of Sonoscene 2 is free in the New Orleans area, or anywhere in the Deep South for $250. Shipping to other locations in the US for $600. International delivery is not available for this piece.

This wall-hang-able sculpture celebrates one of New Orleans’ most popular live music venues. It has a hidden cavity to house a rechargeable compact smart speaker like the Sonos Roam.

Custom versions of your favorite bar or your house or your favorite building are available. Please send a note of inquiry.
Please note: the $20 price is just to secure a provisional place in the “production line” until a real non-refundable deposit is made.
Sonoscene 1 is a collaboration between New Orleans artist Meek of Topmob and Audiowood. It combines artwork by Meek with an enclosure and stereo system by Audiowood comprised of an audiophile quality “gain clone” integrated amp by DAL Audio and two quality coaxial speakers. The audio system allows for 3 source inputs and is controlled using just 2 simple knobs on the front of the piece, one for source selection and one for volume.
The idea here is to have a cool piece of modern art that can simply be hung on the wall and it’s also your home audio system!
