The principle behind a good stand is to provide a solid base for the speaker so that energy is not lost through unnecessary movement.
Design
We designed and manufactured our own monitor stands because we felt that current speaker stand were just not up to the job for professional applications. The principle behind a good stand is to provide a solid base for the speaker so that energy is not lost through unnecessary movement. Eliminating lost energy means that bass response is dramatically improved with extended lower end performance in conjunction with a tighter, better defined mid-range. In addition, if your control room has a resonant floor, The Monolith decouples the speaker from the floor, again reducing energy loss.
Construction
Black powder-coated heavy-gauge 5mm steel is used throughout The Monolith. Top and bottom plates are 300mm x 300mm (custom sizes are available). Three vertical hollow legs can be sand-filled to add additional mass. Height is adjustable - each leg is drilled with a number of equally spaced holes and locking pins fix the legs to the desired height. Both top and bottom plates are drilled and tapped with M8 threads to accept heavy-duty M8 knurled spikes to mount the speaker to the stand and isolate the stand from the floor if required.
Available in 3 and single leg configurations.
