Our take on the BDI Avion 8928 Series II

by Ralph Graves

Contemporary styling, practical storage

The Avion Series II line from BDI features high-quality construction. This handsome cabinet rests on a sturdy stainless steel base and easily supports a flat-panel or rear-projection TV with a screen size of up to 50". With an optional Arena 9972 free-standing bracket, you can even mount your flat-panel TV above the cabinet without drilling into your wall.

Thoughtful design

There's a spacious compartment with a pull-down cloth-paneled door for your center channel speaker, media, or other components. Adjustable shelves inside the cabinet hold up to four additional pieces of A/V gear. A center compartment houses your vertical gaming console. The doors feature glass panels and high-quality soft-close hinges.

Concealed ventilation slots keep your gear running cool, even with the doors closed. Hidden wheels built into the frame let you easily move the cabinet away from the wall for cleaning your system or hooking up a new component.

Features

Overview: The BDI Avion Series II 8928 is a two door cabinet with an upper multi-function compartment. A top compartment conceals a center channel speaker, media and/or additional components. Lower doors conceal two component compartments and a dedicated center gaming console compartment.

TV Compatibility: The BDI Avion Series II 8928 can accommodate up to a 50" flat-panel television.

Adjustable Shelves: Adjustable shelves allow you to configure the Avion Series II 8928 to accommodate your larger audio/video components.

Tempered Glass: BDI's glass shelves and doors are virtually shatterproof, allowing you to use them for your larger, heavier audio/video components.

IR-Friendly Glass: The tempered glass doors keep components out of sight, yet are compatible with the infrared (IR) signals used by many remote controls.

Concealed Speaker Compartment: The BDI Avion Series II 8928 stand features a multi-function drawer/compartment which includes a fabric insert for use with concealed speakers.

Flow-Through Ventilation: Flow-through ventilation promotes air flow, prolonging component life.

Cable Management: You can keep your system's wires and cords controlled and out of sight using the A/V stand's integrated wire management features.

Sliding Back Panel: The A/V stand's back-panel slides for easy access to cables and connections. The back panel may be left off to accommodate oversized components.

Hidden Wheels: Hidden wheels allow the system to be rolled away from the wall for easy access to cables and connections.

Integrated Levelers: Easily adjustable levelers are built into the A/V stand's leg assembly which can be used to accommodate uneven floors or to lift a cabinet off of its wheels.

Finishes: The BDI Avion Series II 8928 is available in a espresso stained oak or natural stained cherry finish.

Arena TV Mount 9972 Compatible: The BDI Avion 8928 can be used in conjunction with the BDI Arena 9972 TV mount to suspend your flat-panel television above the A/V stand, so you can use the 8928's top shelf for your center-channel speaker or other audio/video component.
