The Perch × ELAC: A Place to Slow Down and Listen
High in the Catskills, The Perch Hotel offers a change of pace. Set in East Windham, New York, along the historic Mohican Trail, the boutique hotel looks out over a landscape that invites you to pause and take it in. Its invitation is to step back from the demands of a digital world and spend a little more time in the moment.
That idea is at the heart of The Perch × ELAC. The collaboration brings together a mountain retreat and a shared belief that sound deserves as much consideration as the space around it. A room’s character comes from more than what you see; the music you choose can become part of how you remember being there.
For ELAC, it is an opportunity to bring listening into an everyday experience of travel: settling in, choosing something to play, and giving it your attention. At The Perch, the setting offers a reason to linger.
A soundtrack for your stay
The hotel’s ELAC setup pairs the Miracord 50 turntable with ELAC × Adsum ConneX speakers. Records offer the pleasure of choosing an album and letting it unfold, while Bluetooth makes room for a familiar playlist or a new discovery from your own collection.
Imagine a quiet morning with a favourite record, or returning from a day in the Catskills and putting on something you have been meaning to hear. The appeal is the chance to stay with the music for a while, without having to make listening another task.
Sound as part of the room
The photographs bring that relationship into focus: white speaker grilles against warm wood, a record on the platter, sunlight across a cabinet. The system sits comfortably among the materials and details around it, making the invitation to listen feel like a natural part of the room.
