Ultimate TS 100 B

Tolle leichte, und doch sehr stabile Konstruktion. Der Uplifter funktioniert so wie in den Videos gezeigt. Ich hebe meine 18Kg schweren JBL G2 mit einer Hand hoch. Dazu habe ich mir noch ein Rockbag by Warwick in der passenden Größe spendiert und ich muß sagen alles harmaniert wunderbat zusammen. In das Rockbag kann ich sogar noch 2 BSX Billigständer für die Monitorboxen hineingeben und trotzdem ist das Ganze noch bequem zu tragen. Darum von mir ***** für den Apex TS100B und für Thomann sowieso.

Dieser Boxenständer ist wirklich super im Handling und hält selbst schweren Lautsprechern mühelos stand.
Meine Sorge war erst, dass der Schraubmechanismus bei sehr schweren Lautsprechern mit der Zeit nachgeben/absacken könnte, weil es keinen Arretier-/Blockier-Stift gibt. Aber selbst meine 45kg schweren Fullrange Lautsprecher halten perfekt die Höhe - selbst über Tage.
Über den Zylinder brauche ich nichts schreiben, das Teil erspart einem eine Menge Schweiß, absolut genial.

I am mainly a solo acoustic performer & I use DAS DS-15 tops weighing in at a sturdy 24kgs. I wanted to update my 10 year old stands (Millennium) as they were about to give up on me at any time. I was going to purchase the Millennium pro set but decided on these as I am getting older and lifting those speakers is not getting any easier.

Out of the box they look impressive. They have a good quality, chunky, solid appearance. They are super easy to use. The adapter for different size speaker mount is cool. You only need to lift the speaker to about chest height (approx 1.4m) They are rated to hold up to 68.2kgs. I don't intend to put that to the test. They claim that they will lift speaker up to 35lbs (16kgs) with no assistance & very little effort to lift any heavier.

I first tested without the speaker and all went well. Then I mounted the speaker & all I can say is wow. When I released the collar the stand started to lift my speaker (24kgs) without any help before stopping half way. I then put out my hand and with 2 fingers and less effort than it takes to lift a pint of beer the speaker was up. Taking down was easier. Just release the collar and down she comes.

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. These are the most expensive stands I ever bought to date but they are, in my opinion, worth every penny! I do have some reservations about the seals in the chamber and how long they will hold up. But with a 68kg rating I am only less than half that. I did check online for any negative comments or mention of this issue and could not find any. Thanks again Thomann & Ultimate. Both me & my back thank you.
