The Larrabee Creator Edition M1 is a handcrafted record console created in collaboration with Grammy-winning mixing engineer Manny Marroquin. Celebrating 55 years of Larrabee Studios, the design features louvered natural walnut doors, silver and gold speaker fabric, anodized black legs with sky-blue accents, and leather-lined pockets in mocha, sky blue, and white. Marroquin’s brass monogram and the studio’s embossed logo complete the look, while hidden LED lighting and a numbered badge emphasize its collectible status. Only 55 consoles will be produced, each assembled by hand in San Diego to ensure craftsmanship and exclusivity.
It is engineered for serious audio performance, the console includes a precision floating split-plinth turntable, Class D amplifiers, and two-way bass-reflex speakers with a 9.5-inch Egyptian Papyrus cone woofer and textile dome tweeter. Multiple listening modes and finely tuned acoustic components deliver studio-quality sound. Each unit also ships with a curated vinyl package selected by Marroquin, making the console both a music system and a lasting artifact of creative legacy.
