On-Stage SS7730B Classic Tripod Speaker Stand with 1-3/8" and 1-1/2" Pole Adapter for PA Cabinets

On-Stage SS7730B: The 160 lb Tripod Speaker Stand Built for Real-World PA Loads

The SS7730B is the speaker stand the gigging DJ, the mobile sound tech, and the house-of-worship volunteer keeps in the back of the van because it works every weekend without surprise. Steel and aluminum construction. 44 in to 80 in height adjustment with a tension knob and a reinforced locking safety pin. 160 lb weight capacity that holds a powered 15-inch cabinet at full extension with zero flex. It is the workhorse tripod stand from On-Stage — designed for mid-size PA cabinets and proven by decades of rental fleet use.

44 in to 80 in Height Adjustment with Reinforced Locking Pin

The pole extends from 44 in down low for floor-monitor configurations to 80 in tall — high enough to clear seated audiences at conferences, weddings, and worship services. A tension knob handles initial height lock. A reinforced safety pin slides through a precision-machined hole below the pole junction so the speaker cannot drop even if the knob loosens. Setup is fast — extend, drop the pin, mount the speaker, tighten. The locking system is the same proven design On-Stage has used across its tripod stand line for two decades.

1-3/8" Pole with 1-1/2" Adapter — Every Standard Mounting Socket Covered

Speaker manufacturers split between 1-3/8 in and 1-1/2 in mounting sockets. The SS7730B ships with both — a 1-3/8 in steel upper shaft and a 1-1/2 in adapter sleeve that slides over it for the larger socket. RCF, Yamaha, JBL, QSC, Mackie, Electro-Voice, and most powered-cabinet brands work without sourcing a separate adapter. The shaft is steel for strength at the load-bearing point; the tripod legs are aluminum to keep total stand weight at about 8.2 lb for the carry from the truck to the stage.

Braced Tripod Base — 32 in to 48 in Spread for Real Stability

The base spreads from 32 in compact to 48 in wide depending on venue floor space. The leg geometry is 120 degrees around the pole — the wide-stance configuration that keeps the center of gravity over the footprint even when the speaker is at 80 in elevation. Heavy-duty steel braces tie the legs together at the upper hinge. Nonslip rubber feet grip hardwood, tile, ballroom carpet, and outdoor concrete. Sound techs reviewing this stand consistently call out that it doesn't wobble — even with a 75 lb cabinet at full extension, the load stays balanced.

Folds Flat for Truck Pack, Lightweight for the Carry-In

Mobile rigs live or die on pack-down efficiency. The tripod legs fold flat against the pole for a compact transport profile that fits across the back of any sedan or vehicle. At about 8.2 lb total, one stand carries comfortably under each arm — typical mobile DJ setups carry two stands plus two cabinets in one trip from van to load-in door. Black powder-coat finish hides scratches accumulated across hundreds of load-ins and looks clean on stage under house lighting.

Who Buys the SS7730B

The first-time mobile DJ buying their first PA setup needs a stand that holds their cabinet today and is still working four years later. The professional wedding sound tech needs a stand that survives a hundred weekend gigs without bending. The house-of-worship audio team needs a stand that volunteers can set up in under a minute without training. The school PA volunteer needs a stand that holds a 50 lb cabinet over a gymnasium full of seated students. The rental fleet manager needs a stand that survives client mishandling and still passes the next pre-rental inspection. The SS7730B is all of those — the affordable, durable, 160 lb tripod stand that On-Stage has shipped to gigging musicians and sound professionals for over twenty years.
