The Custom Design SQ 404 speaker stands feature four square columns in steel or solid hardwood and inert Acoustic Steel™ 4mm top and 5mm base plates that are precision laser cut, hand polished and finished before being electro-statically powder coated. The 2" x 2" hand-polished ERW BS EN 10305-3 steel square columns are affixed with zinc plated M8 fixing bolts for total joint rigidity and supplied with zinc plated M8 base isolation spikes.
The solid hardwood version utilizes solid Ash, Oak or Walnut support columns which are harvested from sustainable, professionally managed forests. Available finishes include Black, White, Oak, Cherry, Mahogany, and Walnut. The natural properties of wood dampen resonance noise vibration preventing the transition through the design and influencing the stand and speaker's performance. The wooden version is lighter than the steel column version when mass loaded but still has effective vibration reduction without the expense of Inert Filler.
Both the steel and hardwood versions of the Custom Design SQ 404 speaker stand are the most rigid and the most anti resonant of the SQ series of speaker stands. All the SQ series Custom Design speaker stands, however, are aesthetically and functionally appealing particularly with the square columns.
