I also like a higher height but I also use speaker tilts for 2 reasons: 1) it focuses the highs on the audience for better coverage 2) it reduces the reflections on the ceiling and walls You just have to be sure that the legs are wide enough to keep the stand from tipping over. Sand bags are also very helpful. I promise you that you will notice the audio difference!
Love my Flex stands. I have four now. I use them for lighting on smaller shows. Add a short pole and I can mount Chauvet DJ 155s down low with either PARs or more 155s up in the air. Pretty slick!
@@SilverCreekAudio it’s part #14929. I was thinking of buying these stands til I saw some comments saying sometimes that screw strips and won’t hold the pole in and expands slowly. I remember someone saying to change the screw to a lever. I went with gator ID stands for that reason.
You mention in one of your videos another content creator who gives good info on speaker placement and height. I can't find it now, can you reference the channel or video?
The old standards, Shure SM57's and SM58's. They're the workhorses of live events for instruments (57's) and vocals (58's). Plenty of other options too.
@@SilverCreekAudioYes, Shure is a sure option but be careful. There are a lot of knock offs out there. Do not buy them from eBay or even Amazon third party stores. I would trust a pro audio shop like Sweetwater or Guitar center (but don’t buy used ones there)

Yes! These are becoming one of my favorites. They're so slick. Thanks for watching!
this helped me make my decision. thank you!
Awesome to hear it helped! Thanks for watching!
Those flat base stands look really interesting.
Hey Greg! They are really cool. Super versatile and feel very sturdy and safe. Thanks for watching!
Thanks bro
Thanks for watching!
You can buy cam levers for your stands so you won’t strip those hand screws.
Thats awesome, I had no idea! Thanks for the tip!

@@Elniniss Those Gator IDs look cool! I'll look into those.
Just picked up the Ultimate support speaker stands. Did you mark them so when you aren’t using them at 9 feet they’re even?
The truth... I just eye ball it man!

Sure! It's Michael Curtis. He's got a great video on speaker placement for live events. Thanks for watching man.
Does the flex stand pole screw into your subs?
I believe they are M20 poles, so yes.
can you recomend good 100$ mic for live events ?

Totally agree! Shure is the old faithful workhorse!
@@Richard1977 Yeah the Sennheisers are great options too. Here in the US, the e8xx's are $90-$100, while the e9xx's are $185-$200.
