Audioengine DS1 Desktop Stands Works With A1, A2+, HD3
Best desktop accessory for improving small speaker sound clarity.
Elevate your desktop audio experience with the Audioengine DS1 Desktop Stands, sold as a pair. These stands are expertly designed to optimize your setup by angling speakers upwards, bringing tweeters closer to ear level for an enhanced sound stage. They are particularly effective with smaller speakers like the A2+ models. Crafted from high-performance silicon rubber, the DS1 stands provide a stable base while dampening vibrations between the speakers and your desk. This isolation results in a cleaner, more accurate low-end response, allowing you to hear music with greater clarity. The stands feature a fixed 15-degree slope for optimal sound projection.
