Raising equipment levels to proper height

Home :: General Discussion :: Raising equipment levels to proper heightReply

Raising equipment levels to proper height Posted on: 02.05.2013 by Toya Spor What are some good ways to raise gear levels to proper height and keep it in place (so it doesn't slide around while playing)? Currently I am trying to find some ways to raise my gear so that it's all level and the knobs line up. My LPD8 sits quite a bit lower than my VCI-400 and also slides and rocks while I play it. I fixed the rocking problem by sliding a small post-it note pad underneath one of the rubber feet, but the sliding and height problems are still an issue.

Emelina Chillson 03.05.2013	Originally Posted by mdcdesign As long as it's closed-cell foam, it's REALLY solid. You won't be folding or squishing it at all, which is good for the gear stability but bad for transportation unfortunately.

Irmgard Sandness 03.05.2013	No, I bought it used, and it was an earlier one, so before the stand even existed.
Alphonso Deitchman 03.05.2013	Did you not get a voucher in your X1 box?

Jetta Drenzek 03.05.2013	I use a flightcase, it rases my F1 to the same height as the S4 for a cool Spaceship flight deck look.

Irmgard Sandness 03.05.2013	To raise my X1 to mixer height, I used a bunch of old CD jewel cases. Works great at home.. maybe not so much in the club.
Alphonso Deitchman 03.05.2013	A flightcase gives you good protection and also provides decent elevation, especially if you get one with rubber feet attached. Doesn't really apply though if the little LPD8 is the only thing you want to raise..
Brunilda Kora 03.05.2013	Any-goddamn-thing I can lay my hands on. Rubber feet are a godsend. Get 'em on ebay.

Celestina Laderman 03.05.2013	my studio is at standing level, although my desk is a little short. Right now I just use random things(cardboard stands, books, drum practice pads, 3 ring binders) keeping my stuff up. There are lots of things you can get for the sliding problem. Velcro strips, tiny adhesive rubber feet, 3m command strips if it's going to be semi-vertical, sorbothane hemispheres(decent at isolating monitors too), and various types of larger rubber feet that would also might take care of the height issue depending on how much you need. Granted, I don't do live stuff.
Emelina Chillson 03.05.2013	Buy a cheap circular saw, a sheet of 1/4" plywood, 1/4" furniture foam and make someshort risers. Aside from that I use foam inserts such as the ones that my x1 came housed in.
