Topic: speaker stands

[milken]

Was going to ask what this looks like but for P5T, never mind.

Meron raw sa Spectra Park Square 1. Selling for P2,500. MAtZTER said SRP is P2,250. Can you kindly take a picture of it if you're going to drop by there?

Malayo masyado Spectra dito. I'm based in the province.    Some PDVD users use wall bracket for surround sound speakers kaya lang baka hindi kayanin speakers ko almost 9kg per piece..

mga sirs,

There's someone named Jun Reyes who can do DIY speaker stands directly tailored to your needs but di ko mahagilap yung present contact number niya dito sa forum. Other than that Perfect View and Sabre brands ata ang sikat.

Good morning (ohayogosaimasu)! I have a lot of PC Multi-Media Speakers and  if anybody here knows someone who do customize stands (pasadya in tagalog) will you please message me instantly.

This is a good Philippine website about speakers and audio information.......

*Modified to update pic of my set up

My set up looks like this -



I've been advised to get a center speaker stand.

Considering my set up, do I just make a DIY type na box and place the center speaker on top? Or are there center speaker stands available in the market which can be placed on top of a shelf (instead of on the floor)? Wallmount is not an option at this time.

[Zitr0]

you can make your own stand if you have the time sir. I used to have one before, Lovan ata ung brand, its a solid metal center speaker stand, triangle ang shape with adjustable spikes para pwede mo itilt patingaala if needed. this helps in minimizing or removing reflections from the surface of the shelves

[Zitr0]

BTW: sir turbokiller has this...




baka pwede ka pagawa nung nasa top part lang, wala na ung base sa baba.

[tonedeaf]

^thanks! i'll contact him to ask  if he can customize a bit.

after researching further, ang naisip ko as my other option, if all else fails, is just get one of those rubber door stops or other cone shaped thing, and just place them under the front portion of the speakers para nakaangat.

Check this MoPad and ProPad isolators

[tonedeaf]

@mykel18,

the MoPad might just do, and it kind of fits my color scheme. Hahaha. Since it comes in 2 pairs, not quite sure what I'd do with the 2nd pair though.

Actually thinking of getting the Gramma or Subdude, as well, for my sub. Though the cost is making me think of alternatives muna.

Tama lang yung pair sayo. Place it at both sides of the center.

[ndotcom]

@tonedeaf

Best is try muna to experiment on what height is optimal for you, you ca use cans(coke, cornbeef, sardines) wood, etc. Also try din kung sa top ng TV mo blu tac/dikit directing pababa.

[Gino]

If you are happy with the focus of your mains in stereo, then matching their tweeter height is a good bet. Measure the distance from listener to one of the main speakers. Use that distance to place your center. Start there using provisional platforms (boxes, chairs, etc.) Fine tune distance if needed. Once happy, have custom stand made.

[Icermad]

BTW, question lang.. ano mas ok? wood stands or all metal (Sand filled)?

[tonedeaf]

BTW, question lang.. ano mas ok? wood stands or all metal (Sand filled)?

Related to question above, which type absorbs more vibration?

Considering my set up kasi, where center (and the stand) is to be placed on a built in shelf, dapat yata mas kaya mag absorb para mabawasan vibration.

[Gino]

It's all about density of stands if isolation is the intention. Some wooden stands can be very dense and resonance is impossible. Sand filled stands is a safe bet because these have been used successfully everywhere.

In rare instances, users use wooden box stands to do the opposite. They opt to couple the speakers on the wooden box to enhance bass. This is with a slight expense of tonal balance and image precision.

[tonedeaf]

If you are happy with the focus of your mains in stereo, then matching their tweeter height is a good bet.

Just want to clarify this - so the height of the tweeter of the center speaker should be equal to the tweeter of the fronts? Even if that would make the woofers of the center speaker higher than the woofers of the fronts?

For those who suggested experimenting, I am following your suggestion and I'm now using my router's box as  a stand, just to check what the ideal height should be. It's about 2.5 inches:



I think the stand can be 3-4 inches.

[Gino]

Yes. Our ears are able to localize high frequencies better. That affects imaging. It is not a hard rule but a starting point. If it doesn't sound correct or it disturbs you cosmetically, move them.

Hi Mam,

I guess what we wanted to achieve is, during dialogue sa movie, dapat yung boses sa TV Screen nanggagaling. Pansinin mo pag nanonood ng sine sa sinehan, pag nagsalita yung actor, hindi sa baba nanggagaling yung boses but dun sa screen it self which makes you feel that the dialogue sound is really coming from the actor.. Problem with our center eh hindi natin pwede itaas dahil matatakpan naman yung screen. Thats why yung ibang PJ owners, yung center speaker nila is nasa likod ng screen tapos gitna vertically and horizontally at the back of the screen.. So as a solution, ang ginagawa ng iba is to tilt slighty upwards yung center speakers.. Kaya may mga center speaker stands dito na matitilt mo upwards yung stand...

[Gino]

Psychoacoustics din will help. Kahit mababa ang speakers, the brain is tricked by what is sees and perceives as the sound source. So you can get away with it. It's effect is personal. See how it goes.

When you evaluate a system change, take time off after setup. Come back fresh and hopefully not too fully conscious of what you have done. This way, you don't pay attention to the center speaker but to the movie itself. See how that feels.

It's like a dead pixel. it was there but you weren't aware. When somebody points it out, you will always see it.

[tonedeaf]

just in case someone, in the future, is researching on center speaker stands and stumbles onto this thread, here's what I ended up getting:
