Know before you buy
Yes, the S4 stands are universally compatible with most midsize speakers. As long as your speakers measure up to 5.5 inches wide by 7.9 inches deep and weigh 8 pounds or less, they will fit securely.
The +/- 16-degree tilt allows you to angle your speakers directly toward your ears. This is crucial for desktop setups, as it ensures high-frequency sounds reach you clearly rather than being aimed at your chest or desk surface.
The stands feature integrated foam padding designed to isolate the speakers from your desk. This padding effectively absorbs vibrations, which helps prevent unwanted resonance and keeps your audio clean.
The stands come with 1/4"-20 screws, which are standard for many powered speakers. If your speakers do not have a threaded mounting hole, you can still place them on the stands, though you will not be able to use the screw-down security feature.
Constructed from solid steel, the S4 stands are built for stability. When used within the 8-pound weight limit, they provide a firm, secure base that resists wobbling even at higher volume levels.
