QSC Speaker Problem...

[kod]

Work on a foreign car, and you need a metric wrench set... buy speakers that are in millimeters, and maybe your stands need to be foreign also! Just sayin'...

RIKKI TIKKI,

How about you tell me how to buy them otherwise!!!

Matched Set...

I was being a little facitious, and I apologize for making that comment without explanation...

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!

Hope you find a solution, without going to the expense of matching to expensive adaptors!

Just an idea if you don't mind drilling a hole in your speaker pole.

If you were to screw a # 8 self tapping pan headed screw into the pole just above were the bottom of the speaker would come, you could adjust how tight the speaker fitted by adjusting how tight the screw was inserted into the pole.
If there was enough room between the speaker hole and the pole you could have 2 or 3 screws spaced around the pole.

Another option might work Get a thin rubber O ring, place on the pole then push the speaker over that for a tight fit, you would have to find the best size O ring but these could easily be removed from the poles without leaving a sticky residue.

Roy,

I like the idea of using screws. I may even try using pop rivets as they just might stick out enough to increase the size of the pole just enough to make the speaker fit more snug...

Thanks for the idea...

Are your speaker flanges readily removable, maybe 3 or 4 screws? If so you can buy new flanges where you purchased the adapters. Just a thought.

Walt,

QSC speakers have a flange that rotates to allow the speaker to sit straight up or be rotated 180 degrees to allow the speaker to tilt 7 1/2 degrees...

I am reluctant to defeat this option...

Line the inside of the speaker hole with electrical tape. Leave a 1\4 to 1\2 inch outside the hole and wrap it under the speaker cab as a flange so it doesn't get bunched up inside. The tape should provide a less slick surface than the metal and should hold the cab without it being too tight. Don't fix the pole, fix the hole.
