QSC Speaker Problem...
I have a set of QCS K-12 speakers. They do not fit my speaker poles very well and will drift around on the pole.
They do not have locks like most speakers. Does anyone here know how to solve this problem? |
Re: QSC Speaker Problem...
Are your speaker poles a non standard size ?
Apart from getting someone to engineer an adapter to fit your pole with a tapered top to fit tight in your speaker I can only think of a bodge job with pvc electricians tape. If you measure how far the pole enters the speaker and mark a line there, then wrap a few turns of the pvc tape round the pole just level with the line, not all the way up the poll till you acquire a snug fit. |

My speaker poles are standard poles. This is the only speakers that have done this and from what I have read, it is a QSC thing! It's hard to believe that speakers that cost this much ($1,700/pair USD) don't have any kind of locking mechanism... I have found some adapters, but they are ~$80 USD EACH! I was hoping someone here may have a cheaper solution. I had already considered what you suggested... Thanks for your time! |
Re: QSC Speaker Problem...
What do you mean 'drift around on the pole'? Do they spin on their own - with the beat of the music, they tend to move?
I've never heard of that problem with those before. I'd also suggest what was mentioned, tape the top of the poles, maybe with a double sided tape or something similar. |

That's exactly what they do. They do not fit snug on the pole and do not have a locking thumb screw like all the other speakers I own. The mounting holes are not standard size on the QSC speakers. I have already considered taping, but wanted to avoid that "sticky" situation. As I stated earlier, I have found some adapters to correct this problem, but they are ~$80 USD EACH! I think it is pathetic that QSC makes these awesome sounding speakers with this problem. A locking mehanism couldn't cost much more to add... Having to use 50 cent worth of tape tape to hold a speaker costing this much, is ridiculous |

As I stated earlier, I've found some adapters, but they will cost more (~$80 Each) than buying new stands. But, I'm not sure buying new stands will solve my problem. I don't suspect the speaker will fit snug enough keep it from drifting and still be loose enough to be removed from the stand! The bottom line, the speakers need a locking screw which is not possible... |

This is the adapter I was speaking about. It converts the standard 1 3/8 speaker stand to 1 1/2". The cost is $4.95 each. They can be purchased at www.americanmusicalsupply.com Hope this helps. Walt |
Re: QSC Speaker Problem...
Walt,
Thanks for the information. I just ordered two of these and will let you know how they work for me... Again, Thanks! |

Re: QSC Speaker Problem...
Walt,
My adapters came in today. They "do not" work... They fit on the poles fine, but do not fit the speakers. They are too large! Oh well, back to the drawing board! :r These speakers seriously need locking screws... Thanks anyway... |

Apparently they are larger then 1 1/2". If so, I have never come across that type of application. Walt :? |

Walt, According to the QSC manual, the hole is 35mm (35 millimeters is equal to 1.38 inches). That's a fraction over 1 3/8 inches and is enough to allow them to drift around on the pole... I guess I just going to have to use tape on the poles, which I hate to do... |

You could also use heat shrink. They make it big enough to use for your needs. It would hold up a little better than tape. Walt |

Re: QSC Speaker Problem...
Matched Set...:e
I was being a little facitious, and I apologize for making that comment without explanation...:g I too had to adapt 4 Pioneer speakers, and two separate pairs of stands when I first started 15 years ago... one set of stands fit better than the other set... but I didn't have the problem of speaker movement that you are experiencing... maybe my setup wasn't as powerfull as what you have now... I now use a Bose PAS System with superb results, so my Pioneers with stands have been in the storage locker for the last 6 or 7 yrs!:w Hope you find a solution, without going to the expense of matching to expensive adaptors!:c Rick |
