Speaker Stands for Desk
Why are speaker stands for desk needed if your speakers are just going to sit on a desk, countertop, or bookshelf?
Whether you are an audiophile, or a professional sound engineer you are probably trying to extract the best performance that you can from the speakers that you have selected.
The positioning of the speakers in relation to your ears is crucial for best sound.
Larger studios that have space behind their control surfaces have many options for speaker placement and support. If you have a smaller studio space or a home listening space that doubles as an office your options are limited. The surface that you have available as speaker placement real estate will be limited and may be against a wall. Most monitor speakers that are properly designed for studio or bookshelf placement do a reasonable job of dealing with rear wall proximity but beyond that it’s up to you.
Sound Anchors has designed speaker stands for desk that feature adjustable height and tilt. These stands allow the listener to precisely control the physical position of the speakers in relation to the listeners ears. Speaker position can be easily adjusted in 5D to accommodate a person who prefers sitting or standing while listening.
How will your sound be improved by getting your speakers up on stands? The first thing that you will notice when you place your monitors on properly set up stands is an improved presentation of acoustic space. Soundstage will be wider and deeper image placement will be more precise within that soundstage as well. Audible distortions that are caused by speaker to desk interactions are also reduced. These reductions in distortion can be heard as improved midrange clarity and more defined, punchier bass.
For the person in a studio this translates into better recordings, less listening fatigue and a more satisfying recording experience. For the person listening to music on a desktop stereo the improvements in soundstage imaging and clarity will add realism and make listening to music an overall more enjoyable experience.
As mentioned earlier, the midrange clarity and bass is improved when speakers are placed on Sound Anchor desktop stands. Here is how the speaker stands for desk does this.
A loudspeaker converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy mostly goes into moving air and creating sound which is what we want. However, not all of the electrical energy goes into making sound. Some of the energy is converted into vibrational energy which is not good but is unavoidable. This vibrational energy if not dealt with can be transferred into the desktop where it is re-radiated as distorted sound into the room or transferred into your sensitive electronics. A familiar example of re-radiated sound is the sound that you hear when a struck tuning fork is touched to a piano sounding board. Sound Anchors has designed our desktop stands to eliminate or greatly reduce the transfer of direct mechanical vibration energy. We accomplish this with specially selected materials for construction and isolation pads on the top and bottom of the stands.
Your investment in high end studio monitors can be nullified by choosing to not use stands or selecting substandard methods for positioning your speakers. You want to hear every note clearly, you want the best possible imaging and soundstage. Sound Anchor stands will help you realize your speakers potential. If you are using more modest monitors, you might stop dreaming about better monitors when you hear how good the ones you have can sound by simply setting them up on proper stands.
Sound Anchors is here to help you with premium speaker stands for your high-end home or studio desktop monitor setup. Our speaker stands for desk will transform your experience by making your job easier and your listening experience more pleasurable.
