Looking for ideas on how to change the angle of the cabinet for nearfield use. Looking for something that will maintain the angle and not slide out from under the cab during use. I was thinking of a rubber doorstop or something like a wheel chock but smaller. Suggestions?

Thanks,
John

Up right or on its side?
If on its side, you can cut a couple of 2x4s with an arc, place the speaker in the arc, and rotate the speaker as needed.

I used 2x4 scrap and some rubber runner material cut to fit, top and bottom.  Worked fine

I don't have any suggestions better than what has already been offered, but can we please take a second to ponder why they would have designed the angle so shallow? Seems like someone just picked an arbitrary angle or one that was convenient for design purposes without taking application in to consideration whatsoever.

My guess is at least one the angles was dictated by a target internal cabinet volume.

One of the most highly regarded wedges of all time, the Clair 12AM, had a great angle for 1998... but every Clair gak box had "adjusters" to get the box angle where the performer wanted it.

The Radial & EAW versions of the MicroWedge are built to be at the base of a mic stand.

I'd suggest that these decisions are not arbitrarily made.

Arbitrary was perhaps the wrong word. I completely understand there is always a compromise made somewhere in a design to tick as many objective boxes as possible. Internal cabinet volume is a good hypothesis in this case.

The few times I've used the PRX612M I have just been so impressed with how unusable that angle is for most of the situations a cabinet of that level is used.

Ideal, it is not.

But yet perfect in some setups.

And that's why people hire professionals like us, to make it work in any situation.

I use industrial door stops for my ELX112Ps which have the same issue. They work great.

Here's link but I know I didn't pay that much for them:
