Anyone using Raezer cab on a tripod stand?
Nick DiGennaro
gave me an idea. He suggested putting the Raezer cabinet high up on a
Ultimate Support tripod stand like he does to get better dispersion while
avoiding feedback and an earache. This sounds like a great idea when I am
trying to get as much volume as possible in a large room but also in a small
room full of people where I inevitably have a group of people standing 24
inches in front of me and the amp. The tripod requires installing the
connector inside the cab and cutting a hole in the bottom for the stand to
enter. Has anyone done this? Any comments/suggestions? Thanks, Nick

speaker to sit just right, you might be able to get away with this by using
the Tower twin 8 series but check first.Also be careful as there are most
likely internal tone bracings in the cabinet which may get in the way of the
bracket. We put spks on stand when we do pa systems even as high as 8 or 9
ft when approriate but the cabinet mounting brackets have been optimized for
this. To get more volume I will use a Clarus/RE cabinet and add an
additional self powered PA spk, such as a Mackie ( or other brands) and have
that spk on a spk stand as you mentioned, spread about 8-10 feet , that
creates a bigger sound with the minimum of hassel.

I used to use a chair to get the amp up. Now I have a heavy duty
dolly/cart. I set that up in the horizontal position on all fours,
then after hauling my stuff in, use that as my speaker stand.

I think I would tend to make a bracket to go on the tripod to hold the cab,
rather than modify the cab. Shouldn't be any harder to do than the mod,
probably easier, if you have minimal woodworking skills.

plywood mounted on top of a tripod, then he put the speaker on top of that.
Not quite as secure, but an easier assembly job that won't depreciate your
cab.

I've done it with my own 2x10 cabs. I put 'top hat' connectors on
the bottom and side, so I can mount them vertical or horizontal.
I'm considering adding a second side mount so I can stack the two
cabs on one tripod, with a stub connector tubing between the two,
I can then aim one cab left and one right, where there isn't room
for two tripods. I wouldn't intall the 'top hat' without first
removing the speaker(s) from the cab to avoid damage and ensure
cutting the holes doens't damage any of the internal structure or
wiring. I used stainless steel crosshead bolts, nyloc nuts and
repair washers internally to secure the top hats.
