Speaker Tripod

Audio Hire’s professional speaker tripod stands are available for hire in Adelaide for raising compatible PA speakers above audience level and positioning them effectively for speeches, music, presentations, performances and other functions.

Correct speaker positioning is an important part of a PA setup. Placing speakers directly on the floor can result in much of the sound being absorbed or blocked by people standing close to them. Raising compatible speakers on tripod stands helps the sound project more effectively across the listening area and can improve coverage throughout the room.

Speaker stands can be hired individually or as part of a larger Audio Hire sound system. Audio Hire’s complete two-speaker packages already include the stands required for those systems, so separate stands are generally only necessary when you are assembling a different compatible setup.

Why Put PA Speakers on Stands?

The objective of a speaker stand is not simply to make the speaker taller. Positioning the speaker above the immediate audience helps its high-frequency content travel more directly across the listening area.

This can be particularly important for speech, where clarity and intelligibility matter. It is also useful for music, presentations and other applications where the sound needs to reach people throughout the space rather than concentrating around the front of the speaker.

The appropriate stand height and speaker position will depend on the room, audience and equipment being used. Speakers should always be mounted securely and positioned so that the complete setup remains stable.

Weddings, Parties and Presentations

Speaker tripod stands are commonly used with PA systems at weddings, parties, corporate presentations, ceremonies, school functions and performances.

For speeches and presentations, raising the speakers can help distribute spoken audio more effectively throughout the audience. For music and celebrations, stands allow the main speakers to project across the room while keeping them clear of furniture and other obstacles.

Where a sound system also includes subwoofers, compatible main speakers may instead be mounted above the subwoofers using appropriate speaker poles. Audio Hire’s 5600W EV Speaker and Subwoofer Package, for example, includes two speaker poles as part of the complete system.

Check Speaker Compatibility

Not every speaker is designed to mount on every stand, so compatibility should be confirmed before using a tripod with equipment that has not been supplied as part of an Audio Hire package.

The speaker needs an appropriate mounting socket, and its size and weight must be suitable for the stand. Stands should be placed on a stable surface with sufficient room for the tripod base and away from positions where guests or equipment are likely to interfere with them.

If you are hiring speakers and stands together from Audio Hire, tell us what system you are assembling and we can help make sure the components are appropriate for each other.
