Wobbly PA speaker poles

[AxelF]

I'm using RCF 935s as PA mains with these stands

https://www.ultimatesupport.com/collections/telelock-series-speaker-stands

Despite the pole and socket both being stated as 35mm diameter (although separately also listed as 1.375" and 1.38"), there's a slight size difference and resulting wobble. I've been looking for a sleeve for the pole but can't find anything that looks suitable, I guess because the sleeve would probably need to be less than a mm thick.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for stabilising them please? The RCFs don't have a tightening screw on the bottom like some tops I've seen, and I'd rather not screw anything into them. Does anyone have any experience with these Hercules adaptors?

40mm Heatshrink sleeving could work

That's a good shout, thanks. Wonder how resistant that would be to repeated use though?

Just mount the speaker on the stand and shim it. If you use a piece of plastic you can keep it in the stand bag and use until it needs replacing.
