APEX AX-48 Pro

Professional Column Keyboard Stand with Two Height-adjustable Tiers and Tri-T Base

Replacing the original APEX keyboard stand is the all-new APEX AX-48 Pro! While the footprint has not changed from the original, the APEX AX-48 Pro features a modern design that takes a nod from its big brother, the flagship APEX AX-90, with a sleek oval column design. The new AX-48 Pro still boasts two sets of height-adjustable support arms that hold up to 125 lbs each, but now one set is 13” in depth to hold slimmer keyboards, controllers, and synths while the other set is 18” in depth to securely accommodate today’s larger keyboard workstations and stage pianos.

The APEX AX-48 Pro has been upgraded with a new cap design featuring a professional “piano-style” hinge for longevity, and a Modular Accessory Mount (MAM) for accessories such as microphone boom arms and laptop stands. As with the original APEX, the support arms and legs can be safely and securely stored inside the APEX AX-48 Pro column, making it the most mobile keyboard stand on the market.

GS-10 Pro and GS-10

Gensis Series Guitar Hangers with GS-1000 and GS-100 Style Yokes – Wall or Slatwall Mounts

The GS-10 Pro and GS-10 are both guitar hangers and are available in two models: wall-mounted and slatwall-mounted versions. While most guitar hangers sit perpendicular to the wall, the GS-10 and GS-10 Pro are set at an additional 15 degrees above perpendicular, making them more secure than competing products.

The GS-10 Pro features the innovative self-closing yoke found on the best-selling GS-1000 Genesis Series guitar stand. When placed in the GS-10 Pro, the weight of an acoustic, electric, or bass guitar automatically and gently closes the yoke around the headstock, cradling it safely and securely. The GS-10 features the hanging-style yoke found on the industry standard GS-100 and GS-200 Genesis Series guitar stands. The GS-10 will securely hold and display an acoustic, electric, or bass guitar by the headstock while the proven safety strap provides final protection.

MS MKII Series

Second Generation Column and Desktop Studio Reference Monitor Stands

The new MS MKII Series studio reference monitor stands offer unparalleled innovation and strength for professional, project, and home studios alike. The MS-80 is a desktop monitor stand that features non-slip, high-density foam and an angle-adjustable base that allows the end user to fin tune the sweet spot. The MS-90 is a column monitor stand that features three internal channels – two for audio and power cables and another larger channel for shot or sand. The MS-100 combines the MS-80 and MS-90 into one.

From top to bottom, all three MS MKII Series stands offer sonic isolation and decoupling components. Acoustic foam and stabilizing pads on top, two rubber couplers between the column and the top/bottom plates, and spike decoupling designs under the top and bottom base plates.

Performance Chair

Comfortable, Adjustable Performance Chair with Built-in Foot Rest and Tip-resistant Design

The PC-80 Performance Chair is tuned to offer maximized stability and comfort. It marries high-quality functionality and high-class fashion with a strong and sturdy base, fully adjustable seat back and seat, and a stunning design that looks amazing on stage. The seat back, seating surface and foot rest on the PC-80B are all fully height adjustable for optimized performance and comfort.

The PC-80B performance chair features a strong horizontal double-legged base that creates an extremely strong and stable structure for increased tip resistance and improved center of gravity over three-legged chairs and wobbly four-legged bar stools. The back and seat rest surfaces on the PC-80B are constructed from super comfortable high-density foam and are contoured for even more comfort. The foot rest has a non-slip surface for a reliable grip while performing and the spring-loaded locking pins keep surfaces and foot rest secure with no slipping.
