Since its founding in 2006, Q Acoustics has built an unrivalled reputation for designing, engineering and manufacturing innovative, high-performance and class-leading loudspeakers and matching speaker stands.
Sometimes you need to make a stand to exceed all expectations.Tensegrity Stand Design
Ideally, the only vibrations a loudspeaker produces are the ones required to generate its sound. Of course, itโs not possible to entirely get rid of unwanted speaker cabinet vibrations that can interfere with its performance – but, as Q Acoustics has demonstrated with tensegrity speaker stands, it is possible to keep cabinet vibrations to an absolute minimum in order to deliver entirely uncorrupted sound.
And itโs the design of the new Tensegrity speaker stand that allows Q Acoustics to redefine the level of performance thatโs possible from a smaller loudspeaker.
Tensegrity is a tripod – by definition, an extremely stable structure. Itโs built from lightweight aluminium tubes (which are the load-bearing element) and thin stainless steel cables (which maintain the position of the load-bearing tubes). The result is a light, exceptionally rigid and self-supporting structure with a remarkably low surface area and – letโs not pretend otherwise – beautifully elegant appearance. Itโs not so much a speaker stand, itโs more an entirely new loudspeaker support concept.
Unlike most other speaker stands, Tensegrity stand has an extremely low surface area, which reduces re-radiated sound to virtually nil. Below, you can see the comparisons between different type of speaker stands.
