The Optimal Foundation for Precision and Lifelike Clarity
Give your bookshelf speakers the solid, performance-enhancing support they want and need.
The Monitor Audio ST-2 Universal Stand is designed using Monitor Audio’s Transparent Design Philosophy. The ST-2 carefully balances all elements to achieve the ultimate end-result of design neutrality and total audio performance. Both play a vital role in delivering on the company's promise of musical neutrality and acoustic transparency.
The ST-2 Universal Stand is engineered to position a variety of stand-mount speakers at the perfect listening height. Additionally, it has been designed to partner the Monitor Audio Gold 50 6G, Gold 100 6G, and Platinum 100 3G models specifically. These speakers can be securely fixed to the ST-2 stand itself.
Whatever bookshelf speaker it supports, the ST-2 stand ensures that your listening experience is presented with complete audio performance in mind, providing precision and lifelike clarity.
Experience Optimum Listening
To ensure optimum rigidity and performance, Monitor Audio’s design team have carefully selected the materials from which the ST-2 has been constructed.
A premium, damped, extruded-aluminum support post, precision-machined steel top-plate and die-cast aluminum plinth, along with height-adjustable spikes and feet influenced by Platinum Series 3G result in the ST-2 being extremely strong and rigid.
"An Ideal Solution"
"Unfortunately, people often do not pay much attention to the optimal placement of bookshelf speaker systems, be it the height for ideal sound dispersion or its placement on solid furniture to avoid sound-damaging vibrations and resonances," notes Austria's hifi.blog, June 13, 2023.
"The ideal solution is the new Monitor Audio ST-2 Universal Stand. Although it is aimed primarily at users of Monitor Audio Gold 50 6G, Gold 100 6G, and Platinum 100 3G speakers, it is a solution – as the name suggests – that can be used as universally as possible."
Performance-Enhancing Features
The ST-2 is packed with features to enhance speaker performance. The central support post is not only acoustically lined with absorbent material, but it is also ballast fillable, and features a separate channel for integrated cable management. The top-plate utilizes isolation pads, which sit between the speaker and the surface of the top-plate to reduce any vibration from speaker to stand.
Furthermore, additional weight plates positioned in the die-cast plinth reduce the pendulum effects that can result from a front-heavy speaker. Combined, all of these carefully considered details, mean the ST-2 delivers a completely solid base from which your speakers can perform at its absolute best.
