Atacama HMS 2X – High-Mass Speaker Stand – 600 mm – for heavy loads – black

The HMS series is Atacama’s reference speaker stand series and is used when a larger top plate is required.
The HMS series features a four-column design and offers a fairly stable platform for placing larger bookshelf speakers and other technical equipment. Atacama’s insulating gel pads and modern cable management are also part of these stylish speaker stands.
The Atacama HMS 2X (High-Mass Stand 2X) was developed in collaboration with ProAc, one of the UK’s most renowned loudspeaker manufacturers, and features a large 200 mm x 225 mm cover plate.
The HMS 2X is designed for those seeking a reference-quality speaker stand. These speaker stands offer 30% more professional-quality mass handling than Atacama’s equivalent SLX series. Once each pair is fully loaded with Atabites, the HMS 2X provides you with the ultimate platform for optimizing the performance of your speakers.
These high-quality speaker stands from Atacama were specially developed in terms of design and construction for discerning sound lovers.
The stands are extremely stable and minimize the transmission of case vibrations.
With a height of 600 centimeters (without isolation gel pads and floor spikes), HMS 2X ensures optimal placement of the speakers.
The speaker stands are made of heavy-gauge steel with heavy-duty mountings to ensure optimal rigidity.
For improved performance, the HMS series always comes with insulating gel pads as standard.
These pads protect the bottom of the speaker, reduce the risk of slipping and create a damping barrier on the speaker, thus improving the sound quality.
Ground spikes are also included as standard.
To protect sensitive floor coverings, special Atacama washers are also available from us if required.
Note: Two packs of Atacama HD-L spike shoes are recommended if the stands are to be placed on a sensitive floor covering.
The top plate is made of a thick steel plate. The HMS 2X speaker stands have head plates measuring 200 mm wide and 225 mm deep and base plates measuring 300 mm wide and 335 mm deep. Please note: The width/depth dimensions of the supported speakers should not exceed the dimensions of the speaker stand.
The stand color is “satin black.”
Standardly available from us in satin black (but also available upon request as an additional charge in metallic silver and diamond white).
The HMS series speaker stands are designed and manufactured in the UK.
Please note: Any speakers shown in images indicate that they are not included.

Note
Atacama recommends Atabite SMD-Z 7HD inert filler for maximum acoustic performance.
Atacama recommends that each pair of HMS stands be filled two-thirds full with Atabite SMD-Z 7HD filler to maximize their sonic potential.
Atabite Quantity Recommendation:
The following indicates the recommended number of buckets to be shared between each speaker stand. All vertical columns should be filled equally. The quantities given are approximate and do not necessarily fill the pipes completely. We recommend that you experiment with the exact amount to achieve the best sound results for your specific system, as the speakers, room acoustics, wiring harness, speaker positioning, and hi-fi components will determine how much Atabite filler is used to achieve the best sound from your speakers.
Typically, about half to two-thirds fill produces the best results. If you notice that the speakers lack high-end detail and sound muffled at the bottom, this usually means you’ve overfilled the stands and need to reduce the volume of the atabites in each stand.
If the speakers are new, it’s recommended that the exact amount of atabites required is best determined once they’ve been broken in. Refer to your speaker’s instructions or contact the supplying dealer/manufacturer for recommendations.
For HMS 2X = up to 12 buckets (84 kg) can be used per pair. For best results, fill the tubes two-thirds full as a guide.
