acelab Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hi All, I've put my L2ms on Zaor monitor stands at home, so they are in ear-height but not mounted on a pole, if interested see http://www.zaorstudiofurniture.com/classic/monitor-stand (There is no risk in tipping them over so I'm happy with this solution as it requires little floorspace compared to a pole tripod.) However the sensor will not detect it and the L2m will "think" that it stands on the floor. How to prevent this? Can the pole sensor but (manually) activated in this case?

SiWatts69 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm not entirely sure that the pole mount sensor actually does anything, other than to confirm that the speaker is in an upright orientation to the M20d so can't see that it would make any difference. If you're convinced it would make a difference, get a 300mm x 300mm square of 18mm wood, mount a threaded pole adapter into the wood, then screw in the Line6 short speaker poles to sit between your L2's and the stands. Seems a bit superfluous to me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acelab Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yes, according to the manual it makes a difference: The Upright/Horizontal orientation is detected by the accelerometer (different sensor) but the pole sensor will activate the "virtual tilt back" to "project the speaker's output upwards" if no sensor is detected to compensate for position on the ground/floor. Anyway your idea sounds promising, I'll give it a try. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I don't know exactly how the pole sensor works (optical vs. weight-sensing vs ....) but you may not need to go as far as drilling, mounting, and using an actual Line 6 short pole. I might start by cutting something like an old broom/shovel handle to length and just inserting it into the pole shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything between 30 and 35mm in diameter ought to do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acelab Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I went to a DIY-store and bought a 3 feet long roundwood with 35mm diameter, cut it to right length. Problem solved. Thanks a lot! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
