Synth stand advice

Post by bhrama » Mon Nov 09, 2009 10:30 am

Any advise on a good 2 tiered (or even 3) Synth/Machine stand.

My current set-up is P08 + Voyager. I'd prefer having the Voyager on the 2nd Tier, but it weighs more than the P08.

Any suggestions?
P6, Tempest, Sub37

I use an A-frame shapes Ultimate Support stand for more then two decades.
But also the Aphex stand works well, if you use the long tiers.
keep on turning these Moog knobs

Sequence:
Prodigy * minimoog '79 * Voyager * MF102 * MF103 * MF104z * MP201 * Taurus 3 * Minitaur * Sub Phatty * MF105 * Minimoog 2017+ MUSE * One 16

check the quiklock ws 550 plus the second-tier support (I don't remember the product code but any quiklock vendoir will know if you ask).

It's got four legs on the ground (no jokes please :oops: ) and won't tilt no matter how heavy is the upper-tier keyboard.

I use it, with my voyager on top [again, pls... :oops: ]

and a way lighter keyboard on bottom,

and its definitely stable.

Legs are variable/lenght, and the horizontal distance between the two keyboards can be adjusted and stabilized (i.e.: for getting really close keyboards, organ-like) using screws or modifiying the supports.

It was not originally built as a keyboard stand, so it's not often advertised as such (it's theoretically a mixer stand),

but quiklock in fact built a lot of keyboard-related accessories for it (second tier, various supports).

worth taking a look, and doesn't cost a lot

The ProLine PL402 works very well.

Ive seen a quicklock hold two 88 key units. I have my voyager sitting on one right now. Great load bearers they are. Voyager has sat on the top before.

I use an older Quiklok stand that is very similar to their QL-642 - it has a Jupiter-6 on the bottom tier and a Voyager on top; probably 100 pounds of synth in total, and it's no problem at all. Very stable and reliable, although the stand itself is a bit heavy when loading in and out of gigs.

Cheers,

Amos

I use an Ultimate column stand for a Nord Stage or korg Karma on the lower tier and a Voyager on the top,if you raise the top tier to the maximum height it sits there perfectly
