FAQs

What is a speaker top hat fitting?

A speaker top hat fitting is a type of mounting hardware that is installed into the base or side of a speaker cabinet. It allows the speaker to be securely placed and supported on the pole of a speaker stand.

What is the internal diameter of this top hat?

The internal diameter is 35mm, which is a standard size compatible with most PA speaker stands.

How far does the top hat protrude into the speaker cabinet?

The top hat will protrude approximately 3 inches (7.5cm) into the interior of the speaker cabinet.

What is the maximum weight capacity per top hat?

Each top hat has a maximum weight load capacity of 25KG.

Can I install this on the side of my speaker?

Yes, the top hat can be installed on the base or side of your speaker cabinet, depending on your desired orientation.

Do screws come with the top hat?

No, screws are not included with the top hat fitting. You will need to provide your own suitable screws for installation.

Is this product compatible with all speaker stands?

It is compatible with 99% of speaker stands that use a standard 35mm pole diameter.

Troubleshooting

Speaker feels wobbly on the stand.

Ensure the top hat is securely screwed into the speaker cabinet and the speaker stand pole is fully inserted into the top hat. Check that the top hat's brim is flush with the cabinet.

Difficulty installing the top hat.

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size (slightly larger than 35mm). Verify there are no obstructions inside the speaker cabinet preventing full insertion.

Top hat does not fit speaker stand pole.

Confirm the speaker stand has a standard 35mm pole diameter. Measure the internal diameter of the top hat to ensure it is also 35mm. Some older or non-standard stands may vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  3. Decide on placement: base or side of the speaker cabinet.
  4. Drill a hole slightly larger than 35mm in diameter in the chosen location.
  5. Insert the top hat so the brim sits flush against the cabinet's outer surface.
