Konig & Meyer 21436

Aluminium Speaker Stand (3.2kg, GS-rated to 35kg load)

Ok, so our favourite speaker stand for the past dozen years or so has been K&M's unbelievably reliable 21435. However, as the new breed of powered speaker boxes seems to be getting significatly lighter (yet more powerful), we've had a few suggestions that 5.3kg per stand is simply too much to carry to each performance.

So, rather than suggest a spoonful of cement in the morning coffee to harden up a bit, we've decided to also keep the lighter (3.2kg) version in stock. This 21436 speaker stand is constructed from aluminum, and the deisgn has recently been refreshed with nice new features. The new legs with a tubing diameter of 35 mm and the large, fixed foot end caps guarantee stability and safety. Lasered bore holes and durable, robust plastic saddle washers improve the coefficient of friction between the legs and braces, and prevent scratching of the finish. A compact clamp with a patented push-button system affords user-friendly stand height adjustment. The locking screw provides additional stability and vibration-free speaker mount. Additional features include a pull-out guard for the extension tube and an integral anti-shock component. Oh, and it is still GS-approved for loads up to 35kg.

And if you really must see it in action, here's a little (1'39") clip via K&M YouTube to show off their nice lightweight aluminium wonder.
