Product Information
Full details
The Kanto SX22 Speaker Stands are designed for audio enthusiasts seeking to elevate their listening experience. These 22-inch stands improve sound quality by positioning speakers at the optimal listening height and reducing unwanted vibrations. While they offer a premium aesthetic and robust build, users should be aware that filling the columns for optimal resonance reduction requires an additional substrate. Key features include adjustable height, a decoupled design, built-in cable management, and protective floor discs.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity per stand?
Each Kanto SX22 speaker stand has a maximum weight capacity of 18.1 kg (40 lbs).
Do I need to buy anything else to fill the columns?
Yes, the stands include bags for filling, but you will need to purchase the substrate material (such as sand or beads) separately.
How do I ensure my speakers are perfectly level?
The stands feature a top-accessible leveling system and include a bullseye level. Simply adjust the built-in feet at the base until the bubble is centered.
Will these stands protect my hardwood floors?
Yes, the Kanto SX22 stands come with hard-floor discs that have silicone pads to prevent scuffs and scratches on delicate flooring.
Are the top plates adjustable for different speaker sizes?
The stands include two sizes of top plates to provide compatibility with a wide range of bookshelf speakers.
Can I use these stands on carpet?
Yes, spiked feet are included which can be used on carpeted surfaces to provide stability and grip.
What is the purpose of filling the columns?
Filling the columns with a dense material like sand or beads adds mass to the stand, which helps to reduce unwanted resonance and vibrations, leading to clearer sound.
Troubleshooting
Stand is wobbly or unstable
Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. If columns are filled, verify the substrate is evenly distributed and the column is properly secured. Use the leveling system to ensure all legs are making firm contact with the floor. Use spiked feet on carpet for better grip.
Audio still sounds muddy or resonant
Ensure the columns are filled with a dense substrate like sand or beads. Check that the speakers are securely placed on the top plates and are not resonating against the stand itself. Consider purchasing optional adhesive foam pads for the top plates for additional dampening.
Cable management is difficult
Ensure cables are routed one by one through the channel. For very thick cables, you may need to partially unfill the column to provide more space, or use thinner gauge cables if possible.
Floor discs do not stay attached
Ensure the surface where the discs attach to the stand is clean and dry. The discs should click or firmly press into place.
