Description
With its all-steel construction and advanced feature set, Pangea Audio’s DS200 is the perfect speaker stand for a wide range of monitors and bookshelf speakers, especially those on the heavier side. It includes integral cable management, adjustable carpet-piercing spikes, rubberized speaker support pads, and sand-fillable support piers. Many manufacturers make their speaker stands out of wood, because wood is inexpensive and easy to work with. But wood has poor acoustic properties. It absorbs and stores vibration energy before slowly releasing it and muddying the sound coming from the speakers. Although it costs more to use, steel is a far better material for speaker stands. Steel doesn’t ‘hang onto’ energy like wood. And it releases vibration very quickly. A well-designed all-steel stand like the DS200 solidly supports your speaker while improving image focus, reducing mid-range coloration, and tightening the bass performance. Both support piers can be filled with sand or steel shot for even better vibration damping. Pangea Audio put cable management holes in the back support pier for keeping speaker cables neat and tidy and includes plugs for the holes in case you want to add one of these damping materials. Nuts, bolts, spikes, and other hardware hold a stand together and make it perform optimally. Many manufacturers use columns and steel plates, but then couple them with cheap hardware that undermines the performance of the assembled stand. The DS200 uses a total of four heavy-duty, large-diameter bolts to rigidly couple each of the piers to the top plate and the bottom plate. The Pangea Audio DS200 features a 6″ wide by 8.5″ deep steel top plate to match a wide range of compact or monitor-type speakers and an extra heavy duty, 3mm-thick, 9.75″ by 12″ bottom plate. The bottom plate has welded channels to support the adjustable carpet-piercing steel floor spikes. The DS200 bottom plate weighs 5.3 lbs. The top plate weighs 1.25 lbs.
