Quik-Lok BS Series Speaker Stands and
RS954 Rolling Rack by Kevin Becka I've owned Quik-Lok products before and found them soundly
and simply built. The BS series speaker stands are no exception. They
come in two fixed heights, 36" (BS336 - $149.95) and 42" (BS342
- $159.95). Applications for the BS342s would be for closefield monitors
behind the console. The BS336s are perfect for use at home for L-R or
surround speaker stands. At the floor, the base is a triangle from which three legs
rise to meet, forming a substantial base for the speaker to sit on. The
back leg is hollow, permitting cables to be run internally. The ports
for the cables come with a rubber cover for the metal edge. Two adhesive-backed
rubber pads for each stand isolate the speaker from its metal base. For isolation from the floor you have the option of screwing
in three metal spikes at the base. As usual with Quik-Lok products, there
is minimal assembly and once assembled, fit and finish are solid. RS954 Rolling Two-Space Rack The concept behind the RS 954 ($189.95) couldn't be simpler,
as the photo above right shows. The rack rails are welded to a tubular
frame, the lower 10 rails are angled and the top 10 are vertical. This
is great for gear such as MDMs that need to be kept flat. Quik-Lok provides
everything needed for assembly - a wrench for installing the wheels, hex
bolts and even rack screws with washers. Assembly is so matter-of-fact there are no instructions
included, nor are any Contact Quik-Lok at 516-352-4110.
needed. The stand is incredibly sturdy for something so simple. I put
in an ADAT and four or five other pieces of heavy gear and never felt
iffy about the stability of it all. For those of you in tight spaces and
on a tight budget, this is the organizer for you.
