The modern world of music and show business with the development of new technologies has begun to change significantly. New mixing consoles began to appear, which made it possible to perform more extensive sound processing, new speakers capable of serving large venues with a small volume, and many other equipment that improved the quality of sound and work with it. At the same time, the changes also affected such a detail as a stand for acoustics.
Many people believe that there is no special need for this type of equipment, and it can always be replaced with improvised material or similar in purpose. At the same time, they say that there is nothing special in such a device as acoustic stands, and their influence on the sound is far-fetched.
However, real professionals who understand not only sound recording, but also physics, perfectly understand the significance of this device. Thanks to such racks, it is possible to place sound equipment not only at the required angle to the hall, but also at a certain height, which is sometimes very important on large venues or halls. At the same time, modern racks for acoustics allow you to adjust directly with the equipment and in a matter of seconds, and not the old fashioned way, placing matchboxes or books.
Another important aspect in favor of purchasing racks is their portability and versatility. Usually they are equipped with standard mounts, on which any equipment can be mounted, from speakers to lighting fixtures. Therefore, such a rack for equipment is very popular for various tours and other outdoor events. This is usually taken into account by developers, making them as compact and light as possible.
Currently, there are many different companies for the manufacture of such racks. There is also a considerable number of various craftsmen who make racks for acoustics with their own hands. The products of the former are usually distinguished by their compactness, mobility, light weight and quality. Products of craftsmen are usually famous for their great reliability and ease of use. Therefore, among professionals, it is practiced to purchase branded racks from leading manufacturers, followed by their refinement from the master.
For home use, specialized racks for acoustics are also produced. They can be quite different from professional equipment and still have a few additional features to save space. For example, it is quite common to find such a speaker stand that can also serve as a shelf for storing discs. At the same time, it is worth noting that such equipment released for home use is
sometimes does not have all the features of a professional and is designed to workin a small room.
Often musicians use them for professional stage work, but this only works if the equipment has been set once and has no plans to move. For touring or outdoor performances, it is still better to use professional stands, which will not only help save setup time, but also take little time to transport.
