Unfortunatley with some monitors, they'll be sitting on your cable ends you do that. So you have to get them off the ground somehow.
Actually Scott- yes that was the other thing..... this little stand prevents the XLRs from resting on the floor if tilted back a long way. Also because the PRX series of speakers do not have 'real' feet, the box itself is almost flush to the floor and gets easily scuffed that way - and this stand helps with that too.
One more thing, depending on how you rest the speaker in this cradle, you can choose different angles because the foam prevents any slippage....
