Vestlyd Vinyl Setup – Turntable, Active Speakers and Stands

Three Vestlyd pieces that were drawn for each other, in one order: the Pro T1 direct-drive turntable, a pair of M8C Active coaxial power monitors and the M-Stands they bolt to. The turntable plugs straight into the speakers, so there is no amplifier, receiver or separate phono stage to buy or match. At Soundium this is the shortest route from an empty room to a working vinyl system.

In This Setup

• Vestlyd Pro T1 – quartz-controlled direct-drive turntable with a pre-mounted Ortofon OM Pro S cartridge and built-in RIAA preamp. Black or Silver.
• Vestlyd M8C Active (pair) – 8-inch coaxial active speakers, 4 x 75 W Class D, RCA with switchable phono MM stage, HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.1. Black synthetic leather or Oak.
• Vestlyd M-Stands (pair) – 52.5 cm floor stands that screw into the M8C cabinet, with cable routing through the column. Black.

Why This Combination

• No amplifier to match: every M8C driver has its own Class D channel, and the pair arrives already matched to itself.
• Coaxial driver at ear height: the M-Stands lift the 8-inch coaxial to seated listening height and lock the cabinet to a heavy base instead of a resonating sideboard.
• Cables disappear: mains and link cables run inside the stand column, not down the back.
• More than vinyl: TV over HDMI eARC, phone over Bluetooth, laptop over USB-C, all from the same remote.
• Finishes that match: Black or Silver deck, Black or Oak speakers, Black stands. The photo follows your selection.

Good to Know

The Pro T1 has a built-in RIAA preamp and the M8C RCA input has its own switchable phono MM stage. Use one of the two, not both: either run the deck into the RCA input set to line, or set it to phono and bypass the turntable stage.

Each piece ships in its own retail box and is also sold separately at Soundium. The setup price is simply lower than the three bought one by one, and the finish you pick here is the finish that arrives.
