DJ speaker stands are one of the best kept secrets in the DJ equipment business, right on par with using quiet subwoofers to create a mood in the room.

Why are simple tripod speaker stands such a secret?

The answer is simple: On one hand it is clear that a high quality speakers are needed for the best reproduction of the recorded music, or human voice, be it as a DJ doing karaoke in a restaurant, or providing music for a white wedding, or even when playing music for the church band performances and church recorded music playback.

On the other hand, it is not obvious that you can immensely improve the quality and the projection (reach) of the speaker sound simply by elevating them at or above the ear level using a simple on stage DJ stereo speaker stand. A tall adjustable tripod speaker stand will do exactly that. Always make sure to set the adjustable speaker stand height just a tad above the height of the people's heads.

Why is it important to use a DJ speaker stand to place mid-range and treble DJ speakers so high? Two reasons. First, any speaker will sound better when the membranes are parallel with the human ear. Second, the speaker sound, especially the treble and the mid-range, will travel farther, and be less distorted, when there is nothing obstructing its path.

As an example, when your mid-range boxes are sitting on the floor, the sound as heard on the other side of the venue will be severely muffled when people are standing near by. The solution is to raise the DJ speakers to the level of the audience's heads or a bit higher. Which requires sturdy DJ or public announcement, PA speaker stands.
