Installation
Installation
Built with individuality and modularity in mind, units can be installed hanging on walls or sitting on flat surfaces. It takes between 15 to 30-minutes to install your first unit with ease. As with any large wall-mounted furniture piece, we recommend professional installation. And remember: Studs are your friends. See manual for details.
Bottom mount versus wall mount
Bottom mount versus wall mount
Choose a bottom-mount unit if you have a platform to securely mount it to that can withstand the ~80 pounds of weight easily and safely.
Bottom mount units are made for sturdy surfaces that allow the unit to extend without the danger of a traditional, loose, shelving system tipping over.*
If this does not describe your environment, then the wall mount units are your rpms of choice as they can be installed on most walls using the correct screws for your particular wall (GRK, toggle bolts, etc).
*If you have a traditional shelf not made to support the weight, you can install the wall brackets for security and have the unit appear as if it were on the shelf.

FAQs
How many records does the rpm fit?
Each rpm unit fits 75 (12" or 10") regular-sized records with enough space to breathe and comfortably flip.
Since most reissues these days come in double-sleeve jackets and are pressed on 180gm, we feel 55 to 60 is a more accurate ballpark for a regular collection that includes the occasional box-set outlier and a mixture of double- and single jackets.
Did you know you can also house 7" singles, and create sections, using the two dividers that come with each unit and easily slip into one of 8 slots?
What's your warranty?
Quality is key to us at Toneoptic, and we are proud to offer a 2-year warranty from date of receipt of the unit on all rpm products.
The warranty covers the replacement of the unit if it is found to be defective due to faulty materials or workmanship within the 2-year period.
Not covered in our warranty are: Above-average wear and tear; Accidental damage; Damage from external sources such as transit, weather, electrical outages or power surges; Failures caused by circumstances outside of Toneoptic's control; Faults caused by negligent use, misuse, neglect or careless operation of the unit

Endless Opportunities
The next gen Toneoptic rpm truly represents endless opportunities when it comes to how and where you install it.
On the wall, on a flat surface, build it in or have it stand out.
Let your imagination and space guide you to your own rpm opp (yeah you know me).
It’s Black, It’s White
(Shamone)
70 years later, a true innovation in the way we store and select records.
The record we always skipped because it had a plain spine. The treasures we never saw that had too thin of a side to get discovered by us. The Toneoptic rpm allows you to get lost in the wonderful cover art and find delight in the artful process of selecting the next record to play. We believe there are many design-conscious record collectors who seek an aesthetic way to showcase their vinyl, one which allows them to flip through records while tucking them back in, library style.
Never felt like this before.
