Roadworx Speaker Stand 2

I purchased these speaker stands together with two Bose S1 Pro powered speakers as part of my keyboard rig. They proved to be sturdy and supported the speakers safely. I found them to hold the speakers a bit high when mounted at their lowest level on the stands so I reduced the height by removing 8cm from the inner support tube which was a simple task due to the construction of the clamping arrangements. the result is a satisfactory speaker height with speakers safely located next to my keyboard. The air damping provides a smooth extension and collapsing action when raising and lowering the central tube and the locking pins ensure there would be no risk of failure.
Very good value and should last well against the rigors of gigging.

These came with my Behringer DR112DSP speakers which are quoted as weighing 17kg and the stands are rated at 20kg max. I would not use these two items together for a show as the weight of the Behringers is a challenge for these stands. They flex quite disturbingly with the 17kg on them. They have not gone to waste though, they now serve as lighting stands, as use for which they are much more suited. I would not recommend using them for speakers weighing more than 10- 12kg.
Pros: lightweight, good damping and really excellent easy to use knobs and locking pins. Good value for what they are capable of.
Cons: I would not recommend using them for any load much more than half of the rated maximum.
