Plume Media Cabinet

Sale Price: $3,799.00 Original Price: $5,070.00

Overview

Plume brings a sculptural approach to modern media storage, combining the warmth of finely crafted furniture with the performance-driven details expected from BDI. Rounded hardwood corners, acoustic doors, and intelligent cable access create a cabinet that feels refined outside and fully capable within. As the three-door media console in the Plume collection, the 8077 offers flexible storage, concealed component support, and a softened architectural profile for TVs up to 70".

What Makes the Plume 8077 Unique: Four Signature Features

1. Rounded Hardwood Corners
Rounded hardwood corners give Plume its softened silhouette, creating a continuous wood profile that feels warm, substantial, and carefully resolved. This is the Plume's most visually distinctive furniture feature — rather than the sharp 90-degree corners found on most media cabinets (and on the Mesa and Ripple), the Plume's corners are rounded in solid hardwood, creating a continuous, gently curved perimeter edge. This softened profile is achieved through precision woodworking: solid hardwood corner pieces are shaped and integrated into the case construction, then veneered to match the surrounding surfaces seamlessly. The result is a media cabinet that reads as furniture rather than an equipment box — warm, sculptural, and considered.

2. Acoustic Doors with Speaker Grille Cloth
Each gently concave door is wrapped in speaker grille cloth, allowing sound and remote signals to pass through while keeping components concealed. This is the Plume's defining functional innovation. Standard media cabinet doors are typically wood, glass, or metal — all of which block infrared remote signals, requiring either open-door operation or an IR repeater system. The Plume's acoustically transparent speaker grille cloth doors solve both problems simultaneously: sound passes through freely (speakers can remain inside the cabinet without degradation), and remote signals penetrate the door without any additional hardware. The gently concave shape of each door adds visual depth and creates a subtle shadow line around the perimeter — a refined detail that gives each door panel a pillow-like quality.

3. Removable Rear Panels + Integrated Cable Management
Removable rear panels provide direct access to wiring, components, and power connections. Integrated cable routing helps keep cords organized and hidden from view. Rear access panels are a standard BDI engineering feature — the entire back of each compartment can be removed without tools for installation, cable routing, or future upgrades. Integrated routing channels guide cables through the cabinet in organized paths, preventing the tangled chaos that accumulates behind most home theater setups.

4. Built-In Ventilation
Built-in ventilation promotes airflow to help keep media components operating efficiently. AV receivers, streaming devices, gaming consoles, and cable boxes all generate heat. The Plume's ventilation design — openings positioned to promote natural convective airflow — keeps components running within safe temperature ranges without requiring the doors to be left open during use.

The Plume Collection: 8077 vs. 8079

The Plume collection consists of two media consoles sharing the same design language:

  • Plume 8077 (your linked model): 3-door, 62"W, TVs up to 70", 6–9 component capacity, 155 lbs

  • Plume 8079: 5-door wider version for larger rooms and TVs up to 85"

The 8077 is the more compact, apartment- and smaller-living-room-friendly version — bringing Plume's acoustic performance and refined presence to smaller spaces.

Interior Storage Configuration

Side compartments (x2) and a center compartment house adjustable glass shelves. Interior details:

  • 3 adjustable tempered glass shelves — repositionable in 1.25" increments across 7 positions

  • Component capacity: 6–9 components

  • Bottom shelf capacity: 100 lbs

  • Top shelf capacity: 150 lbs

  • Adjustable shelf increments: 1.25" / 7 positions

The glass shelves serve the same dual purpose as in the Ripple credenza — transparency promotes a lighter visual interior and allows heat to escape more freely than solid shelves.

Dimensions & Specifications

Overall dimensions: 26.5"H × 62"W × 21"D. Base height: 8". Recommended for TVs up to 70". Weight: 155 lbs.

At 62" wide and 26.5" tall, the Plume 8077 has notably different proportions from the Mesa and Ripple (both 34"H × 79.5"W × 18"D). The Plume is shorter and narrower — more horizontally oriented, lower to the ground, and specifically dimensioned to position a TV at comfortable viewing height when placed on top. The 21" depth (vs. 18" for the credenzas) provides extra room for AV component depth.

The 8" base height gives the Plume a slightly lower profile than the Mesa/Ripple's 9.25" base, contributing to its more grounded, TV-stand aesthetic
