Comfortable self-isolation time support! Listening environment improvement items !!

Most likely, your time spent at home has increased and you have more time to make and listen to music. In order to maximize the performance of your speakers that produce output your music and allow you to listen to it with better sound, the set-up it needs to be done correctly. Yamaha's HS series and MSP series standard studio monitor speakers provide the following advice regarding settings.

The common points are:

• nstall speakers symmetrically at the same distance from the place where your left and right ears will be.
• Match the tweeter height with the height of your ears

This time, I would like to introduce the items necessary to"match the height" .

① CLASSIC PRO / MST monitor speaker stand

A desktop speaker stand that is reasonably priced and well made. If you place your speakers directly on your desk, they will tend to be a little lower than ear level. This stand is recommended when you want to raise the height a little.
■ Height: 21 cm (including pad)
■ Top Plate: 21x24cm
■ Base: 21x24cm

② CLASSIC PRO / MST20

This is also made of sturdy steel and can be adjusted to 5 different heights. Another attractive feature is that the left and right heights can be easily adjusted fixed into position with bolts and pins. Don't miss the fact that it comes with an insulator!
■ Height: 96.5-136cm
■ Top Plate: 23x23cm

③ CLASSIC PRO / MST30

A speaker stand that can be set up on the floor and adjusted to a height slightly lower than the MST20. Comes with a full range of accessories including pads, adjusters, and spikes . And the height can be finely adjusted in 16 increments!!!
■ Height: 74-114cm
■ Top Plate: 23x23cm

④ CLASSIC PRO / MST40

A highly stable model supported by two columns. Compatible with small to medium size speakers. Recommended for the fact that the area of the base part is smaller than other floor stands, reducing the space required for installation.
■ Height: 80-81.5cm
■ Top Plate: 23x23cm
■ Base: 30x25cm

This is an item that can be expected to improve sound quality when used together with stands ♬

AURALEX / MoPAD

A sponge-like sheet called an isolation pad, which looks like a normal sponge. It's super easy to use -- just place it on the top of the stand and place the speaker on the pad.

～ Manufacturer comment ～
“By separating the sound waves generated between the monitor speakers and the objects in contact with the monitor, you can improve the accuracy of the overall monitoring system.”

In short, using the MoPAD will allow you to be able to hear only the sound that is coming from the speakers ♬ In addition, using the included MoPAD Wedge Adjusters, you can now monitor at the optimum angle from 5 different angle settings (-8 °, -4 °, 0 °, + 4 °, + 8 °). I will.

If the speakers that you normally use to listen to music, and watch movies or videos are casually placed directly on the floor or on a desk, you can enjoy better sound with a little ingenuity in the settings. Please check the following Sound House page.
