Can the 1528 Stand 8 Be Filled With Sand?

One of the most common questions we get about the 1528 speaker stands is whether they can be filled with sand for additional mass and stability. The answer is simple: No, because they are made of solid HDF (High-Density Fiberboard).

Unlike hollow metal or MDF-based stands, which often benefit from sand filling to reduce resonance and improve stability, the 1528 stands are precision-machined from solid HDF. This material is inherently dense and non-resonant, providing excellent isolation and rigidity without the need for additional weight.

HDF is heavier and denser than standard MDF, making it a superior material for speaker stands. Its tight fiber structure minimizes unwanted vibrations, ensuring that your speakers perform at their best without interference from the stand itself.

Ultimately, the 1528 stands are engineered to deliver rock-solid support as they are—no need for messy sand filling.
