Know before you buy
The open-frame tripod design reduces acoustic interference by minimizing the surface area that can reflect sound. Additionally, the integrated isolation system—using three precision steel ball bearings—decouples your speakers from the floor to tighten bass response and clarify mid-range detail.
Yes, the tubular steel frame is designed to be mass-loaded. You can fill the columns with sand or other damping materials to increase the overall weight, which further reduces resonance and improves stability for heavier bookshelf speakers.
The stands include Pata-fix® adhesive putty, which provides a secure, vibration-dampening bond between your speaker cabinet and the MDF top plate. This ensures your speakers remain stable while preventing unwanted movement during playback.
Yes, the stands feature adjustable stainless steel spikes at the base. These allow you to level the stands perfectly on uneven surfaces, and the included floor protectors ensure your hardwood or tile flooring remains scratch-free.
The top plate measures 6.3" x 6.3". These stands are ideal for most standard bookshelf speakers and studio monitors, but you should measure the footprint of your speaker base to ensure it fits within these dimensions for optimal support.
