I'm worried about my studio monitors sliding off these stands... Are there some sort of suction cups? How do they hold them? I have the Rokit 6's G3.

There are no suction cups, they're not needed, between the weight of your speakers and the design of the stands (there are rubber pads at both the top and the bottom of each leg) they form a sturdy unit. The stands themselves are designed to move with the vibrations of the speaker cabinet and therefore absorb any introduced by the speaker itself.

Mine are rock solid on these, it is difficult to just slide, you have to really elevate to move them at all.

I have my speakers tilted and there is absolutely no slippage whatsoever because of the material that the speakers set on. I think you will be very happy with them as they do add clarity to whatever material you listen to

You can do either way. The trick is to balance them so the weight is going stright down onto the stand. The Plastic mounts are not very strong and will easily break if all the weight is on them in an awkard angle. You will see what I mean once you have them.

Of course you can, but be careful. Having experience with the K10s in a live setting, I would stick with placing them upright. If you lay them on their side, there's always the chance that they'll get tipped back on their angled section and fall off the stand (the opposite side is rounded). As Ron mentioned, using K10s on these stands will make them top heavy. I have ~30lb. studio monitors on them, but they are placed in such a way that nobody walks near them so they don't tip. And of course, fill the stands with sand.

Mike C. These stands suck hard. Fortunately they are a pretty standard light stand. Look for any nicer stand and they should work.

What I have found is that the stands have too small a base to support anything off-center. I re-tasked my stands from holding speakers for my home theater to supports for my JBL Praxxis 14 monitors. With that weight, they are very unsteady and I had to sandbag the bases (not very practical). With a monitor arm attached, I am afraid you would be greatly disappointed when the stand tips and your equipment hits the floor. Might I suggest an adjustable stand with a WIDE base.

I have two 27" AOC monitors connected to my stand. The stand is very sturdy and works well for me.Just make sure your monitor has the correct hole setup for the mount so you can secure it onto the mount. Some monitors do not line up correctly.

The stands are very strong and made of steel...they will hold vertical weight 12 lbs easily. I have two 19 inch monitors per stand no issues. The stand base is much larger than the picture suggests, at least 12 inches per leg and about 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide. You could use double sided tape under each leg to really hold it down or even drill and screw it to a surface if you had real concerns. Only issue is if the monitor is pushed back since there is no support there. The stand is designed as front weight biased. My monitor verticals rest against a window ledge and provides support if they are knocked backwards....hope this helps The stands are very strong and made of steel...they will hold vertical weight 12 lbs easily.

The clamp has a neoprene cushion on the top, but two screw clamps for the bottom. To protect my stainless desk I put a piece of wood between the clamps and the desk. Whether the desk will hold the monitors is an interesting question: Unless it's 3/4 of an inch or thicker I wouldn't try it. As it is, if it were me I'd go buy a small piece of plywood at Home Depot or Lowes and have them cut it for you so it's 6 inches by 6 inches or something like that. This way the weight is distributed over a much larger surface area. Do be aware that the monitor stand is very heavy all on its own. There are also monitor holders with wall clamps instead of a desk clamp. That might be a much safer alternative for you.

I agree with mconser that the suction cup style sucks. I only use it on a drum kit in my studio 'cuz I hold it on with duct tape. For my upright bass and acoustic guitar, I bought the pick up that sticks perfectly on the bridge, not the body - outside or inside, and kicks out a Carnegie clarity for performance and recording. It also comes with extra stickies.Axel

I have only used the rectangular stands (30336). We put the laptop under the stand and the monitors above the stand. The rectangular stands would bounce as you type. The triangular stands may be more stable.

My dome doesn't have hooks either and it's been impossible for me to find them. What I did was order a lamp clamp (i think the company was called the bean farm or something) and then used the hole in the clamp to go on the hook, and clamped the black grip pieces towards the back of the stand. I wish I could show you a picture for better reference

I own a pair of JBL Monitors that weigh upwards of 25 lb each and they are on old "wooden stands", since my purchase of the Seismic stands I put a pair of Alesis monitors on them and they seem too light for the stands. Go ahead and load them down I'm sure they can handle at least 50 lbs. I use isolation pads under them also and it helps with any vibration noise experienced with high volumes.

I just measured mine for you... They're not that big. Perhaps that's the size when they're boxed up? Here are the dimensions measured from my Rokit 6's (G3) just now: 10.5" deep, 8.75" wide, 12.5" tall. On the depth, you'll want to plan for maybe another 1 inch or so because you'll have the cable sticking out somewhat.Hope that helps!

Are you referring to Bose Cubes? If so, these will hold them in the sense they will tolerate the speaker's weight. As for fastening them to the stand itself, you might need to take a trip to the hardware store. The provided brackets are weird, but for an extra $3.50 worth of nuts, bolts, and washers I was able to make them work with no issue. I would bring the bracket with you to the hardware store when you are looking for parts, that is, if you even have and issue at all, perhaps they will work without a problem at all. If you are using something much heavier than a Bose Cube, these stands are a little tipsy, and the extra weight might make them more prone to falling over.

Hi, I have a pair of Boston Acoustics CR75 Bookshelf speakers which weigh about 12 lbs. each, and the stands are rock solid. I do computer repair; one customer of mine had these same stands in his studio with a pair of Rokit ~10" or so speakers (I'm not sure of the exact model/size but they were at least twice the size of mine) and seemed very stable. These are strong, sturdy stands IMO. Hope it helps,Dave

My son has his Rokit speakers right next to (almost touching) his ASUS monitor with no issues what so ever. I ran them next to my HP monitor for a short time with no issues. Hope this helps.

There are only held on to the stands with 2 sided tape. There is no rattle or vibration so probably?
