Audio T Verdict
The Dynaudio Stand 10 provides the stable, correctly proportioned foundation needed to get the best from compact standmount loudspeakers such as the Emit 10 and Evoke 10.
Its rigid aluminium construction, broad base, sand-fillable compartment and non-slip top plate help support the speaker securely without making the stand look unnecessarily heavy.
Integrated cable management keeps installations tidy, while the finger-adjustable spikes and hard-floor rubber rings make it suitable for a wide range of rooms and floor coverings.
For smaller Dynaudio standmount speakers, the Stand 10 is the natural choice for appearance, positioning and stability.

The Dynaudio Stand 10 is a compact aluminium speaker stand designed to provide stable support for smaller Dynaudio standmount loudspeakers.
Each pair includes:
- Two aluminium speaker stands
- 150 x 180mm top plates
- Wide and stable base plates
- Non-slip rubber speaker-support pads
- Front sand-filling compartments
- Plastic filling bags
- Rear cable-management channels
- Finger-adjustable floor spikes
- Rubber rings for hard-floor installation
- Integrated Dynaudio logos
The Stand 10 is available in Satin Black and Satin White finishes to complement a wide range of compact Dynaudio loudspeakers and room interiors.
Designed for Compact Dynaudio Speakers
Dynaudio developed the Stand 10 to complement its smaller standmount loudspeakers.
Current compatible models include:
The stand can also support other compact loudspeakers of suitable dimensions and weight, but the top-plate size, cabinet balance and overall stability should be checked before purchase.
Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Dynaudio does not publish a universal maximum load rating for the Stand 10.
Contact Audio T before using it with a particularly heavy loudspeaker or a model not specifically recommended by Dynaudio.
Why Speaker Stands Matter
A compact standmount speaker relies on its support to position it correctly and prevent unwanted movement.
A suitable stand can help provide:
- Correct tweeter height
- A stable mechanical foundation
- More precise stereo imaging
- Improved bass definition
- Reduced vibration from furniture
- Greater freedom when positioning the speakers
- A secure and level installation
The stand should remain stable on the intended floor and should not introduce obvious vibration or resonance of its own.
593mm Stand Height
The Stand 10 measures 593mm high before its spikes are extended.
With the spikes fitted, the complete height is approximately 617mm.
This height is designed to position the tweeter of a compatible compact Dynaudio speaker close to seated ear level in a typical listening arrangement.
The final tweeter height will also depend on:
- The loudspeaker’s cabinet dimensions
- The tweeter’s position on the front baffle
- The listener’s seating height
- The amount of spike adjustment used
- The thickness of the floor covering
150 x 180mm Top Plate
Each top plate measures 150mm wide and 180mm deep.
This provides a compact support area designed to suit smaller Dynaudio standmount loudspeakers without making the plate visually dominate the cabinet.
The loudspeaker’s base may extend slightly beyond the top plate. This is normal with compatible models, provided the cabinet remains properly centred and stable.
Non-Slip Speaker-Support Pads
Non-slip rubber pads are fitted to the top plate.
They provide:
- Additional grip beneath the speaker
- Protection between the cabinet and aluminium plate
- A small degree of vibration control
- Reduced risk of the cabinet sliding during normal use
Dynaudio demonstrates the grip of the pads by tilting the stand by up to ten degrees without the compatible speaker sliding from the top plate.
Install the Stands Upright and Level
The ten-degree figure demonstrates the grip provided by the top pads. It is not a recommended listening or installation angle.
Each stand should be positioned vertically, levelled correctly and placed where it cannot easily be knocked.
273 x 296mm Base Plate
The base plate measures 273mm wide and 296mm deep.
Its broader footprint helps provide stability beneath the relatively narrow aluminium column and the loudspeaker above it.
Before purchase, check that the complete base can be accommodated without obstructing:
- Doorways
- Furniture
- Walkways
- Heating vents
- Mains sockets
- Speaker cables
The stands should be positioned where children, pets and people passing through the room are unlikely to knock them.
Rigid Aluminium Construction
The Stand 10 uses an aluminium column and support structure.
Aluminium provides a useful combination of rigidity, manageable weight and resistance to corrosion.
The shape of the column and base follows the clean design language used throughout Dynaudio’s newer compact loudspeaker ranges.
3.2kg Weight Per Stand
Each unfilled Stand 10 weighs approximately 3.2kg.
This provides a stable starting point while keeping the stand manageable during assembly and initial positioning.
Adding suitable filling material to the dedicated compartment increases the total mass and can improve the stand’s resistance to movement and vibration.
Front Sand-Filling Compartment
A dedicated filling compartment is positioned within the front of each stand column.
Dynaudio supplies a plastic bag to help contain suitable dry sand and reduce the risk of material spilling inside the stand.
Adding mass can help:
- Increase overall stability
- Reduce movement beneath the speaker
- Control resonance within the stand
- Provide a firmer foundation for bass reproduction
- Improve confidence on suspended or slightly flexible floors
The exact result will depend on the speaker, room, floor and amount of filling material used.
Choosing Filling Material
Use only clean, completely dry and suitable speaker-stand filling material.
Avoid damp builders’ sand or any material that could:
- Retain moisture
- Damage the filling bag
- Leak through small openings
- Create corrosion or unpleasant odours
- Prevent the stand from being emptied later
Follow Dynaudio’s assembly instructions and ensure that the filling bag and compartment are closed correctly before returning the stand to an upright position.
Filled Stands Are Heavier
Complete all filling work before positioning the loudspeakers on the stands.
Do not attempt to move a filled stand over any meaningful distance while a speaker remains on its top plate.
Integrated Cable Management
A separate cable-management channel runs along the rear of the stand column.
A large opening near the top allows cables to pass behind the loudspeaker and down towards the base.
The channel can accommodate suitable:
- Speaker cables
- Power cables
- Analogue signal cables
- Digital signal cables
- Network cables
The available space will depend on the thickness of the cable, the size of its connectors and the number of cables being routed.
Cable Management for Passive Speakers
When the Stand 10 is used with a passive loudspeaker, the rear channel can conceal much of the speaker-cable run between the cabinet and floor.
Leave sufficient free cable at the top and bottom to avoid:
- Pulling on the loudspeaker terminals
- Creating tight bends
- Straining banana plugs or spade connectors
- Preventing the stand from being repositioned
- Transferring movement into the loudspeaker cabinet
The amplifier should be switched off before the cable is connected, removed or rerouted.
Routing Power and Signal Cables
The cable channel can also accommodate compatible power and signal cables when the stand is used with a suitable compact active loudspeaker.
Before assembly, check that:
- The cable fits through the available openings
- The connector can reach the speaker without strain
- The cable is not sharply bent
- The stand can still be levelled and repositioned
- Mains and signal cables do not create unwanted interference
Large moulded mains plugs may not pass through the internal channel, so the complete cable route should be planned before final assembly.
Finger-Adjustable Floor Spikes
The Stand 10 uses floor spikes inserted from beneath the base plate.
Each spike is adjusted using the large finger nut supplied as part of the stand assembly, avoiding the need for a separate specialist tool.
Correct adjustment helps ensure:
- The stand does not rock
- The speaker remains upright
- Weight is distributed between the floor contacts
- The left and right speakers sit at matching heights
- The cabinets remain visually aligned
Make small adjustments and confirm that the stand is stable before placing the loudspeaker on its top plate.
Installation on Carpet
The adjustable spikes can provide firm contact through carpet and underlay to the solid floor beneath.
Before using them, check for:
- Hidden electrical cables
- Underfloor heating
- Delicate flooring beneath the carpet
- Floorboards that may be marked
- Landlord or property restrictions
Do not extend the spikes further than required to level and stabilise the stand.
Rubber Rings for Hard Floors
Rubber rings are fitted beneath the base for suitable hard-floor installations.
They can help:
- Protect the floor surface
- Provide additional grip
- Reduce direct metal contact
- Keep the stand stable without exposed spikes
Always check that the rubber rings are clean before positioning the stands on wood, laminate, tile or another easily marked surface.
Satin Powder-Coated Finishes
The aluminium structure uses a durable textured powder-coated finish.
Audio T currently lists:
The neutral finish selection allows the stands to complement black, white, walnut and natural wood loudspeaker cabinets.
Integrated Dynaudio Logo
The Dynaudio logo is incorporated into the stand casting rather than applied as a separate sticker.
This creates a clean appearance and reduces the risk of a surface badge lifting or becoming damaged over time.
Matching the Stand Finish
Satin Black
- Discreet beneath darker cabinets
- Complements Black Emit speakers
- Suitable with Black High Gloss Evoke speakers
- Helps cables and shadows remain less visible
Satin White
- Suitable for lighter rooms
- Complements White Emit speakers
- Matches White High Gloss Evoke cabinets
- Can reduce the stand’s visual weight
Finish selection is visual and does not change the stand’s published dimensions, weight or construction.
Stand 10 with Dynaudio Emit 10
The Dynaudio Emit 10 is the compact standmount model in the Emit range and is officially recommended for use with the Stand 10.
The stand provides:
- Suitable listening height
- A stable platform for the 14cm MSP driver
- Freedom to optimise rear-port wall clearance
- Cable management for a tidy installation
- Black and white finishes that complement the Emit cabinets
Stand 10 with Dynaudio Evoke 10
The Dynaudio Evoke 10 is another compact model specifically associated with the Stand 10.
The Evoke 10 benefits from rigid support and accurate positioning, particularly when balancing its rear-ported bass response with the surrounding room.
The stand’s adjustable floor contacts and compact base make it easier to establish a stable position before fine adjustments to spacing and toe-in are made.

Assembly and Initial Setup
Assemble both stands carefully on a clean and protected surface.
Before placing the speakers on top:
- Confirm that all components are present.
- Assemble each stand according to Dynaudio’s instructions.
- Install the filling bags if mass loading is required.
- Route any cables through the rear compartments.
- Fit the appropriate floor contacts.
- Position the stands in the room.
- Level each stand and confirm that it does not rock.
- Check that both stands are the same effective height.
- Place each speaker centrally on its top plate.
- Connect the cables with the equipment switched off.
Keep the original packaging and assembly information in case the stands need to be moved or dismantled later.
Positioning the Complete Speaker System
Once the loudspeakers are safely placed on the Stand 10, adjust the complete left and right assemblies together.
Listen for changes in:
- Bass weight
- Bass definition
- Central vocal focus
- Soundstage width
- Soundstage depth
- High-frequency balance
Move the stands by holding the stand or supporting the speaker safely. Do not drag the complete assembly across the floor or pull it using the loudspeaker cables.
Speaker Spacing and Toe-In
The Stand 10 allows each speaker to be positioned independently of furniture and shelving.
This makes it easier to optimise:
- The distance between the speakers
- The distance from the listening position
- Rear-wall clearance
- Side-wall clearance
- Toe-in angle
- Symmetry within the room
Both stands should normally be adjusted by equal amounts unless the room requires a deliberately asymmetrical setup.
Moving the Stands Safely
Remove the loudspeaker before moving a Stand 10 over any meaningful distance.
This is particularly important where:
- The stand has been filled with sand
- The loudspeaker is relatively heavy
- Floor spikes are fitted
- Stairs or thresholds are involved
- The floor is easily damaged
Disconnect all cables first and use two people where the combined weight or room layout makes handling difficult.
Cleaning and Care
Clean the stands with a soft, dry or very slightly damp cloth.
Do not use:
- Abrasive cleaning products
- Metal polish
- Furniture polish
- Solvents
- Aerosol sprays
- Excessive water
Check periodically that each stand remains level and that the assembly hardware has not become loose.
