The K&M 26731 is a rock-solid loudspeaker stand tailor-made for situations where stage real estate is at a premium. This space-saving stand includes an ultra-stable flat steel base, and its 5-step gradual height-adjustment system includes a safety hook and a backlash-free clamping screw for added security. This speaker stand offers a usable height of 45 to 72 inches, and it supports loads up to 33 pounds. You also get integrated shock absorption and effective cable management. Moreover, this stand’s slim form factor and built-in carrying handle make storing, stowing, and transporting it easy and painless. Many so-called experts will claim that you have to sacrifice stability for portability. Here at Sweetwater, we beg to differ — the 26731 from König & Meyer offers solid proof that you can build a heavy-duty speaker stand that doesn’t take up a ton of space.
