Custom Design's philosophy is to achieve business by product design and service success. Responsible social and environmentally friendly practices are an integral philosophy where ever we may retail our products in the world.
Innovation is an integral part of Custom Design. Innovation is part of our company's culture and one of the main reasons for our success over the last 35 years. It is the attention to detail that makes the difference, which to our customers demand.

Stand mount speakers and book shelf speakers require a speaker stand support to position the listening experience to the perfect height of our customers specific requirements. Speaker stands also need to provide a complete rigid, isolating support platform for the speaker to operate at the maximum performance possible. This can be achieved not only by the integrity of the speaker stand, ie the number of supporting columns but the engineering incorporated in to the design, such as the type and number of fixings or the built in specialist isolation acoustic steel or the quality and thickness of materials involved,  4mm oiled and pickled steel for superior surface finish or 4mm acoustic steel for resonance energy absorption and conversion.

The speaker stands designed and manufactured by Custom Design provide the perfect isolating solution for speaker cabinets. Speaker cabinets resonate, therefore the best possible isolation points would be the strongest part, ie the corners which is why Custom Design provide an optional standard range of top plate dimensions and also provide a custom made service so our customers achieve the best possible listening experience and sound performance from their HiFi system.

 
The central columns are manufactured from ERW BS EN 10305-3 steel which can be easily mass loaded with our unique specialist dampening, void dissipating non magnetic material, Inert Filler. The 4 satellite columns combine to provide a totally rigid speaker stand support. The performance improvements are substantial, especially to the dynamic range which seems more open and free compared to conventional central, mass loaded designs. Stereo imaging and precision timing bring more excitement to your listening experience all with an accurate and controlled bass performance. The FS 104 Signature Speaker Stands are an award winning, serious alternative to the usual option of speaker stand design.
The satellite support columns are available in Black or white as standard with Chrome and Brushed Chrome finish optional extra. The laser precision cut hand finished acoustic steel top plates and 4mm oiled and pickled steel base plates for a superior quality finish are available in standard 3 sizes. Designed on the open frame principle to have the minimal effect on the performance of your speakers. The unique 5 column design provide a totally rigid isolating platform and solid foundation for our customers who demand a more exciting and dynamic performance from their speakers.

Custom Design do not use Aluminium in the construction of any speaker stand designs. The natural properties of aluminium prevent speaker stands from performing to the best of their ability as mechanical feedback can be prevented, just like over mass loading. Which will result in reducing the dynamic range and the depth of bass frequency.

Rigidity is proven integral design feature which improves sound performance. The Custom Design philosophy  of multi column supports provides superior sound quality and performance over traditional single column support design speaker stands.
