A … metal … support with a rectangular or other non-round section are usually called piers.\" – Wikipedia \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Speaker Stand's Mission\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePangea Audio’s new DS400 speaker stand uses ultra-strong support piers to provide an incredibly solid and rigid base for compact monitors and other bookshelf-type speakers. As always, Pangea provides huge amount of performance for a remarkably low price. You’ll have to pay a whole lot more to get a stand that rivals the DS400’s combination of build quality and performance-enhancing features. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\" Have you ever felt that you could get more out of your speakers? Pangea Audio DS400 gives your speakers better positioning, which guarantees better quality,\" reports Marcus Lux in his November 15, 2023 review for \u003ci\u003eprimesound.org\u003c\/i\u003e, which honored the LS300 with its award for Best Speaker Stand 2023, Best Heavy Duty. \" It works great for Hi-Fi speaker systems, compact speakers, and even bookshelf speakers. You also get other accessories such as bottom spikes that isolate the stand from other sounds in the room and four top pads that offer sound isolation.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe 'Vibration Energy' Problem\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eInside a conventional loudspeaker are piston-type drivers that move back and forth to generate sound waves in the air. Most modern speaker cabinets have been engineered to rigidly hold the drivers while adding minimal vibration (coloration) to their sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e Larger, floor-standing speaker cabinets can absorb a lot of this vibration energy. Any excess energy is transmitted by steel spikes into the floor. Smaller cabinets are unable to absorb all this excess energy and require a speaker stand to transfers this excess energy into the floor.\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSuper Strong Rectangular Pier Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn the architectural world, non-round columns made of steel called piers support huge structures like skyscrapers that weigh untold numbers of tons. These same retangular-type columns allow the Pangea DS400 to deliver rock-solid support for all types of monitor loudspeakers. \n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eYou will immediately notice the sonic benefits of Pangea’s adaptation of this construction technique, including improved image focus, low mid-range coloration, and optimal bass performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePangea Audio’s DS400 speaker stand features four rectangular steel support piers, forming an amazingly strong rectangular support structure for improved speaker performance. Additionally all four support piers can be filled with sand or steel shot for even better vibration damping.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Hardware Makes A Huge Difference\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe DS400 speaker stand looks like its predecessor, the DS300, but with two important improvements. First, the DS400 uses two heavy-duty, large-diameter stainless steel bolts to rigidly couple the piers to the base plate. Second, the base plate has also been made heavier and is now 3mm thick with welded channels to support the steel speaker spikes.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHeavy-duty Top Plate and Bottom Plate\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Pangea Audio DS400 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 DS400 comes complete with adjustable carpet-piercing bottom spikes and is available in four heights – 20\", 24\", 28\" or 32\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe DS400 32\" weighs 30 lbs. each. Each DS400 bottom plate weighs 5.3 lbs. The 32\" posts weigh 6.3 lbs. Each top plate weighs 1.25 lbs. Heavy duty hardware makes up the rest of the weight. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pangea Audio","offers":[{"title":"Demo","offer_id":45981154541741,"sku":"DEMO-PGDS400-28","price":239.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/PGDS400_01_2023__54993.1730363858.1280.1280_ac5d61ed-5750-41d5-a16c-7273dd55e656.jpg?v=1781104673","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/pangea-audio-ds400-heavy-duty-speaker-stand-28-inch-all-steel-black-pair-demo","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
