VinylMan Chicagoland	Jul 28th, 2010 02:44 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I'm not looking to set my new powered mixer on the floor at our shows. Any suggestions on what to use to keep it off the floor but safe?
garp Contributing Member ******* Connecticut USA Angular banjoes sound good to me	Jul 28th, 2010 03:01 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic After too many embarrassing incidents trying to balance the band’s mixer on whatever bar stool was available, I finally donated a Hamilton and bought one of these. It’s certainly not ideal from the perspectives of height and safety, but it *does* keep the mixer off of the floor. Can't even *make* one of these from scratch for less.

SecondHoneymoon Contributing Member **** South Carolina	Jul 28th, 2010 05:42 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I too use an x-type keyboard stand (double braced in my case) for my Mackie 808. No board needed on the top. The mixer fits in nice and secure. I think I paid $40 max for it.
6G6 Texas Fender power to the people!	Jul 28th, 2010 06:17 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic My mixer isn't powered, but it is happy on an X type keyboard stand.
Tony Wright Contributing Member **** Stillwater, OK Built for comfort, not for speed.	Jul 28th, 2010 06:39 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I often sat mine on my bass amp head. But later, I did the "keyboard X stand" (double braced). Since my powered mixer that I use most often is a "board" not a "boxtop" and I would just set it on the keyboard stand. At rehearsal, I often used a TV tray...I saw a couple of wooden, black painted, TV tray/table at WalMart for around $15-$20.

gweimer Contributing Member ****** OH Telling tales of drunkeness and cruelty	Jul 28th, 2010 07:01 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic With the current band, it's a keyboard stand. With one of my old bands, it looked like part of my bass rig.

jbryan US	Jul 29th, 2010 12:24 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic My mixer has an anvil case so I just stand it on its end and put my mixer (non-powered) on top. Sturdy, looks great and it's the perfect height.
