The author says "fix the top plate to the base", which appears to indicate mounting the speaker stands to the *bottom* of the desk legs, using the desk *upside-down*. Also, it looks like a dual-motor standing desk, which means each leg has its own motor.
when will you do a more detailed Video about it? It would be cool if I can have also my 65' TV Monitor on a small shelf together with my big heavy Genelec 8361's. So I can lift them up and down together if I want to stand or sit down.. but of course the whole thing would have to be well decoupled without reflections that negatively affect the sound neither from the TV monitor nor from the small shelf or the electric legs
Very cool indeed! This is exactly what I'll be needing. I was racking my brain trying to figure out how beat to build automated height adjustable stands for my new standing desk, as I can no longer sit for long periods, and this is the perfect, common sense approach! Thank you so much!
We’re going to do a more in-depth video on this, but it works really, really well! We’ve found an off-the-shelf solution for the speaker support platforms as well 👍
What Wayne said - it depends on your room, how high your ceiling is, what is at the first reflection points in each position. In the case of our room, it's made no noticeable difference whatsoever
Flopcat unit needs to be an international and official unit. I couldn't buy those stands, I'm afraid I would find myself going up and down half the day and I'm probably 1-2 flopcat units too heavy.
This is also exactly what I've been trying to figure out how to do! Please do a detailed video ASAP! Did you need to get longer cables to control both of them with so much distance between them?
This is a clever idea! But if you need to place your speakers more than 3 ft apart, how do you connect both legs to the power unit? Maybe my standing desk is different from yours, but both of my motorized legs only have a short run of cable to the power unit (which is what the control box also connects to via Ethernet) and those connections from the legs to the power unit are some kind of six square head connector that I’m not familiar with, so I’m not sure if it can support longer runs to the legs 😖
I want to do this project but I’m so confused! How do the left and right legs stand up independently without the middle support beam? Are they coupled together and have to be a certain distance apart or are they independent? Did you have to order the Flexi desk with the table top or can you just get the motorized system? Could you please do a little more detailed video on the build. Brilliant idea just a little more info please. Thank you for everything you guys do!
@@PresentDayProduction Truly appreciate all the knowledge and fun videos you produce. Thank you so much for the kind response I look forward to the video!
Brilliant! Really like this idea :) .... could also be used to pop up the 50" TV from behind the 3x24" monitors so you can watch the big game or playback the movie, and drop it back down afterwards so you can look out the window at the passing birds :D
You could call this the ‘Parliament Motion System’... as it requires the ‘speaker’ to rise up and settle back down, with each new one proposed. Might you advise a blob of blutack under each monitor, if you’re going to whiz them around a lot? Could this form the basis of a mechanical solution for those of us (just me..?) who have trouble discerning binaural ‘height’ effects?
Hey guys - has anyone ever experimented with monitor suspension instead of placement. I wonder if the stretching of a thing (rubber or such) would be entirely different to the compression of similar. To that end a motorized gimble with (say) four wires/rods/whatever connected to the top of a speaker via some "stuff" (rubber??) would be better and less transmissive than other ways. The cool part would be programmable gimble settings for direction and tilt - Standing, Sitting, Flop Cats Fav ... etc Whaddyarekkon?
@@PresentDayProduction I did some work in a 7.1 studio which had suspended speakers, including the LFE sub. Most notable thing was that you could barely notice the LFE because it didn't propagate very well hanging in the ceiling.
@@technoman215 Yeah suspending the sub wouldnt be on my to-dolist Immersing the bottom 5/10mm in a 300mm thick blob of concrete however .... :) The mind boggles
@@PresentDayProduction Oh Yeah !!!! I can just imaging the look of satisfaction on flopcats face (we know who we're talking about here right??) whn he decides he wants to stand up for a bit, or go sit on the couch or .... Might make for interesting alternative to 'try it in the car', 'Try it on the boat (wish I had a boat :/) try it in the bedroom -- WAIT! - NOOooooooo - lol
Can you guys find something everyone can buy as a solution to what to attach to the top to hold the speakers? Obviously something that offers the isolation you’ll need from a stand, much like what you used but readily available.
Holy sheit 8 whole flopcat units!🤯
That's nearly twelvety kombobuloids!

@@PresentDayProduction yea a more in depth video on this would be great!
@@PresentDayProduction What is that solution?
I was just thinking about something like this the other day. GENIUS!
I’d love to see the measurements when up high (standing) vs normal (seated) position.
What kind of difference does it make to the frequency response?
What Wayne said - it depends on your room, how high your ceiling is, what is at the first reflection points in each position. In the case of our room, it's made no noticeable difference whatsoever
Is that metric flopcats or imperial flopcats? Great video!
Imperial!
@@PresentDayProduction Thanks for all your videos! A great help!
Thanks for your support, Michael!
Where mah flopdawwgs at?
My god, geniuses.
Would love to see the whole interchangeable setup
Satisfaction
This is so sick. Thanks guys!
Flopcat unit needs to be an international and official unit.

Why in a world do i need a motorized speaker stand?!! ))
Watched our standing desk video?
@@PresentDayProduction Oh, i guess so. Of course! Now everything's clear! Motorized desk first)
Hi, really cool Idea! Which Flexispot model did you use for your Speaker stands?
That's one heavy Flopcat!
This is also exactly what I've been trying to figure out how to do! Please do a detailed video ASAP! Did you need to get longer cables to control both of them with so much distance between them?
Just a CAT5 cable - any cheap one on Amazon will do!
@@PresentDayProduction Thanks.

They're called Molex connectors, and you can get extensions (or you can cut the cable and make your own)
Could very well be what I used for both monitors and desk when I do

Yep we’ll do a more detailed video, as well as finding some readily available parts online for the speaker platform
@@PresentDayProduction Truly appreciate all the knowledge and fun videos you produce. Thank you so much for the kind response I look forward to the video!
@@PresentDayProduction Are the standing desk legs being used upside-down ?

Flopcat units are sadly still not recognized here in the states by the NIST, unfortunately. I’ll need to get that in Kardashian ounces.
Oh there's plenty of those where the sun don't shine lad

When you guys putting concret in Kali studio monitor like Adam?
you should make one of these for flopcats bed
Great idea!

Try a vesa TV mounting plate screwed to the top of the legs (you might need to drill a few holes) with a paving slab on top:

Now how am i supposed to build this in under one minute? 🤔
W
H
Y
?
So as you can use them in conjunction with a standing desk (see previous video) and have everything at the right height
@@PresentDayProduction I'd have thought changing my speakers' distance from floor and ceiling would be verboten.
