Know before you buy
The S10 is designed for center channel speakers and soundbars that measure between 5.5 and 6.9 inches deep and 16 to 36 inches wide. Please measure your speaker's footprint to ensure it falls within these dimensions before purchasing.
The upward tilt directs sound directly toward your ears rather than at your chest or the furniture below. This helps you achieve a clearer, more accurate on-axis response while minimizing muddy sound caused by reflections off your media console.
No, the S10 uses a stable, flat-top design that relies on the weight of your speaker and the integrated foam padding to keep it in place. The foam also acts as a decoupler to absorb vibrations that might otherwise cause unwanted resonance.
Yes, the S10 features a low-profile design specifically intended for setups where space between the TV and the furniture is limited. It provides the necessary angle for your audio without requiring significant vertical clearance.
The S10 is constructed from solid steel, making it highly durable and capable of supporting the weight of most standard center channel speakers. As long as your speaker fits within the specified dimensions, the stand will provide a stable, vibration-free platform.
