Projector or Laptop Stand for the CQ-18T ???

I know, I know… one should never put one’s expensive digital mixer on a stand. Yep, duly noted and AGREED.

However, we run sound from stage and just upgraded from a Yamaha MG10XU, which was running atop a good mic stand w/ the mic stand adapter.

Obviously the CQ series doesn’t have a mic stand adapter option, so we need a decent sturdy stand with at least a 17" x 13" size tray for the CQ-18T.

Just curious if anyone else runs sound from stage, with their mixer on a stand (???) and if so, which stand ???

We also use a stand for laptops/notebooks,
because we mix ourselves from the stage

unfortunately I can’t post a link here.
A&H blocks it for me, I don’t know why. whatever.

I hope you can see all the information you need in the picture.
with this stand you can adjust the angle of the support.
I find it very comfortable on stage to be able to tilt the CQ18T the way I like.

Thank you. We’re looking at similar laptop/projector stands; just wish they had wider tripod bases for more stability.

This may not be a solution that works for you but this is how I run my CQ-18T from the stage and keep the footprint low. Essentially, I bought a 2nd tier for my keyboard X-stand, then made a custom shelf (1/4" birch plywood painted matte black). The shelf is tie wrapped to the stand tier but the CQ-18T is held in by gravity (I have ~1" holes that line up with the rubber feet so it can’t slide around, and I have a 3.5" hole in the middle where the fan is located for ventilation). Here are a couple of pics.

You probably already got something for it but here’s what I’ve been using for mine. I also mix from the stage.

It think it may be more stable than a laptop stand and also leaves me some shelf space to put stuff on. I usually put my iPad on it right next to the mixer. This gives me the ability to have two menu screens open at any time.

Since making the original post, I found EXACTLY what I had in mind:

Excellent and thank you SO much.

Looks like a terrific combo, and agreed: probably more stable than a tripod type stand. I added a link below to what I finally went with.

FWIW… I also started a new YT channel called “Sound From Stage” (no videos yet, lol) for “ridealongs with rationale” as we setup at various local venues.

Yep, I’m tracking with you :+1: looks like a great solution… now we just need a keyboard player who can help w/ sound too LOL !!!
