For our Multimedia Lab at our college, I build a Speaker Shelf to hold
some very low priced "Studio Monitor Speakers". M-Audio budget price ones.
The design of the shelf could be expanded to fit other size speakers.
Dimensions:
7.25" x 48", adjustable height
Fits easily behind monitor on desk.
I wanted to get the speakers about 4 feet apart, and up off the desk.
I added the top 3/4in square aluminum to help hold the speakers, and so I could easily move
the speaker shelf to another station.
May paint it all black. The center support (actually an aluminum turnbuckle from Home Depot) is there to prevent
the shelf from sagging down, which always looks terrible.
Round rubber plumber washers form the legs. The green clip on the shelf, hold a copy of the receipt for warranty,
and the manual is hidden under shelf.
The speaker pads on the bottom, were from the Dollar Store, they are cheap knee pads.
Weatherstrip foam is placed at the top.
Speaker wire fit into a slot on bottom of shelf, it's completely hidden.
The shelf could hold a few things, behind the monitors.
Spent $3.00 on a secure lock cable, to prevent students from moving it to other areas of our facility.
The shelf is a solid wood "drawer slide" - got it for $2.95.
I'm thinking of painted it all black.
I'm pretty happy with this prototype design, was easy to build, all holes drilled are 3/8", very easy to assemble.
Comments/suggestion for improvements welcome.
Thanks
