BDI Plume 8077 - Natural Walnut

Description

Innovation, softly spoken

BDI's Plume series takes a sculptural approach to modern media storage, combining the warmth of finely crafted furniture with the performance-driven details expected from a BDI cabinet. Rounded hardwood corners, acoustic doors, smart cable management: the result is a piece that feels refined outside and fully capable within. The Plume 8077 is the three-door console of the collection, sized specifically to support TVs up to 70 inches in a footprint that fits real living spaces.

Acoustically transparent, IR-friendly doors

The Plume 8077's three soft-close doors are gently concave and wrapped in acoustic mesh combined with speaker grille cloth. This blend lets speaker audio and infrared remote signals pass through freely, while completely concealing the equipment behind a clean, uninterrupted front. You can place a properly sized center-channel loudspeaker directly inside the 20.5-inch-wide middle compartment — movie dialogue stays crisp and precise, even with the doors closed.

Passive ventilation and easy access

AV receivers and power amplifiers generate significant heat that can shorten component lifespans if air can't move. The Plume 8077 tackles this with built-in flow-through passive ventilation on the rear and bottom panels, creating a continuous airflow. At the rear, the panels are fully removable for direct access to wiring, components and power outlets — during initial installation as well as future changes. Strategic wire management openings keep cable runs neatly routed.

Flexible, robust interior layout

The three main compartments house tempered-glass shelves adjustable in 1.25-inch increments (7 positions), each rated to hold up to 100 lb of gear. Side compartments: 18.5 × 16 × 16 in interior. Middle compartment: 20.5 × 16 × 16 in. The top holds up to 150 lb — more than enough for a large TV or a heavy high-end turntable. Total capacity: 6 to 9 A/V components. Soft-close hinges are adjustable and concealed levelers under the steel base guarantee a perfectly flat sit, even on uneven flooring.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's the difference between the Plume 8077 and the Plume 8079?

The main difference is overall width and number of compartments. The Plume 8077 is a three-door cabinet 62 inches wide, designed for TVs up to 70 inches. The 8079 model is a wider four-door variant suited to larger rooms and bigger displays, with additional internal storage.

Can I place a center-channel speaker in the middle compartment?

Yes — it's one of the Plume 8077's main advantages. The middle compartment measures 20.5 in wide, 16 in deep and 16 in tall — enough room for most center-channel speakers. The doors are wrapped in acoustically transparent mesh combined with speaker grille cloth, which lets sound pass through without audible attenuation. Bonus: IR remote signals also pass through the mesh, so you can keep your components hidden and still control them normally.

Does the cabinet require complex assembly?

Initial assembly is required at delivery. The main wood structure is largely pre-built, but you'll need to attach the powder-coated steel base, place the glass shelves at your preferred heights (1.25-inch increments across 7 positions) and adjust the soft-close door hinges. We recommend two people given the weight (155 lb).
