Safety--or lack thereof--of dual pole-mounting

<< < (2/2)

Daniel Postilnik:
Mike, thanks for recommending the KM24105; I'll have to use that since the onstage adapter only has a 60lbs capacity, while the KM takes 110 lbs. Surprisingly enough, the basic stand that onstage makes is rated for 160lbs.

Art, thanks for pointing to that discussion. I eventually figured out the various factors to keep in mind in regards to center of gravity, etc.

Dave Barker:
There is also the applied electronics package.

The L-11 or L-13's along with the speaker support.

As a test for pole-mounted speakers, I like to get them swinging back and forth to see how much deflection would actually cause a tipover. Having multiple speakers on one stand really isn't changing the center of gravity any, provided they're identical; it's simply adding load.

So if the stand is rated for it, and the speakers can be added one at a time without breaking the stand, and the final product is quite stable, then you might consider it safe. Maybe.
