Studio Monitor Stands

About Studio Monitor Stands

Studio speaker stands help you position your monitors at the ideal height and distance from your mixing position, ensuring optimal sound quality. They prevent boomy bass and resonance through your mixing desk, which can obstruct your overall mix. Additionally, they keep your studio space tidy and organised.

These stands come in a variety of designs to fit any studio size and layout. One popular choice is the triangle base monitor stand. This stand provides unshakeable support for your monitors with its broad base and features an adjustable height support pole, allowing you to set the perfect listening position with ease. The triangle base monitor stand also includes two rubber strips that grip the monitor, offering excellent sound isolation. Its shape allows it to be placed either behind or to the side of your work desk, making it a cost-effective option if your desk is tight on space.

Another great option is the desktop clamp monitor stand. Ideal for studios where floor space is limited, these stands can be easily clamped onto your desk, saving both floor and desktop space. Like the triangle base stands, desktop clamp monitor stands offer adjustable height for perfect positioning and feature a rubber plate to ensure grip and sound isolation.

For those with larger work desks, desktop stands are an excellent choice. These stands provide total freedom of placement, with adjustable height and angle to achieve the perfect listening position. They also offer excellent support and sound isolation thanks to their rubberised panels.

Studio speaker stands are essential for anyone looking to enhance their mixing environment. With various designs to suit different needs, these stands ensure your monitors are perfectly positioned for the best possible sound quality.

Studio Monitor Stands FAQs

Should studio monitors be on stands?

Studio monitors should be on stands as they offer robust construction for stability. Stands often feature foam padding to reduce vibrations and flexible adjustments to fit your studio setup. Designed for audio engineers, stands enhance the accuracy of the sound you hear from your monitors.

How high should studio monitors be placed?

Studio monitors should be placed so that the tweeters are at ear level, typically about 47-55 inches (120-140 cm) from the floor. This positioning ensures optimal sound accuracy by aligning the directional sound patterns with your ears, improving listening accuracy.

Should studio monitors be against a wall?

Studio monitors should not be placed against a wall due to the boundary effect, which can enhance bass frequencies up to +6dB. For best results, follow the 38% rule by positioning your monitors 38% of the way into the room from the shortest wall to minimise boundary effects.
