Ultimate Support TS88B Original Tall Speaker Stand

The Ultimate Support TS-88B is an extra-tall tripod speaker stand designed for professional live sound environments where standard-height stands leave PA tops firing into the backs of heads instead of over them. With a height range of 5'2" to 9'2", it gives front-of-house engineers the vertical reach to aim loudspeakers above seated or standing audiences, improving high-frequency throw and reducing near-field hotspots. The 150 lb load capacity means you can confidently mount full-size powered tops — from QSC K12s to JBL SRX835Ps — without the wobble and flex that plague lighter-duty stands. The patented locking tripod legs snap firmly into position, and the die-cast metal collar on the telescoping tube eliminates the slow creep that cheaper friction-lock designs suffer under sustained load.

Construction is oversized aluminum tubing with reinforced walls, striking a practical balance between the rigidity of steel and the portability that mobile DJs and touring crews need. At 9.8 lbs and 57.5 inches folded, it is light enough for one-person setup but long enough that transport planning matters — this is not a toss-it-in-the-gig-bag stand. The 62-inch base diameter provides serious stability, and the 100% field-serviceable design means every joint, collar, and leg assembly can be disassembled and rebuilt with replacement parts on the road. For engineers running multi-stand PA deployments night after night, the TS-88B is the kind of infrastructure that quietly does its job for years.
