Regardless of how expensive and high-quality your bookshelf or near-field speakers may be, placing them directly on your desk will cause distortion and blurring of the sound. This is because the entire surface of your desk vibrates along with the speaker drivers, particularly with bass notes. So the sound you hear is not just from the speakers but also from your desk.
Most stands provide the wrong height, especially those that tilt the front of your speakers toward your head instead of your chest. This guarantees a distorted soundstage.
The Burson Launch Pad raises your speaker to ear level resulting in a proper sound stage. It uses high-density extruded aluminum, eliminating the vibration transfer from the speaker to the furniture. Its clever design also protects your speakers from accidental cable pulling.
Oh, and it also looks amazing in any listening space! Relaunch your close-field listening experience!
