Atacama SLX500 – Speaker Stand – 545 mm – Large Top Plates – Black

The SLX series is Atacama’s most professional speaker stand series and is ideal when a larger top plate is required. The SLX 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.
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 30-70 centimeters (without isolation gel pads and floor spikes), the SLX series ensures optimal speaker placement.
The speaker stands are made of heavy-gauge steel with heavy-duty mountings to ensure optimal rigidity.
Each SLX tripod pair features new 5 mm laser-cut carbon steel baseplates, eight adjustable BZP 8 mm ground spikes with stainless steel top caps, and improved High-Load Trapezoid (HLT) isolation gel pads for the headplates.
For improved performance, the SLX 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.
The top plate is made of a thick steel plate. All SLX speaker stands have identical standard head plates measuring 225 mm wide and 225 mm deep and identical standard base plates measuring 305 mm wide and 305 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.
The SLX series speaker stands are designed and manufactured in the UK.
Atacama’s SLX speaker stands are available in the following sizes: SLX300 = 345 mm (13.6″); SLX400 = 445 mm (17.5″); SLX500 = 545 mm (21.5″); SLX600 = 645 mm (25.4″); SLX700 = 745 mm (27.5″)

Note
Atacama recommends Atabite SMD-Z 7HD inert filler for maximum acoustic performance.
Atacama recommends that each pair of SLX 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 divided between each speaker stand. All vertical columns should be filled equally. The quantities are approximate and do not necessarily completely fill the tubes. Experimenting with the exact quantity to achieve the best sonic results for your specific system is recommended, 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 sonic performance from your speakers.
Typically, approximately half to two-thirds full will achieve the best results. If you notice that the speakers lack high-end detail and sound muffled at the bottom, this usually means that you have overfilled the stands and need to reduce the volume of the atabites in each stand.
If the speakers are new, it is recommended that the exact amount of atabites required is best determined once they have been broken in. Refer to your speaker’s instructions or contact the supplying retailer/manufacturer for recommendations.
SLX300 = 2 buckets; SLX400 = 3 buckets; SLX500 = 4 buckets; SLX600 = 5 buckets; SLX700 = 6 buckets
