Just thought to share my homemade speaker stand protector; this prevents people's feet from catching on the speaker stand legs. Sometimes you can only place your speaker stand in areas where people may walk past them and this has help get their attention. I also place a mini strobe light inside to further get people's attention. Works great for me.

Sorry to be blunt but I really dont like them, they look like you forgot to take the stands out of there box.
I use a totally different way which highlights the stands and makes a feature out of them. It doesnt totally take away a trip hazard which I dont think you ever do that effectively.

What material/fabric are you using, they look great! Would love to try this at my next formal event if you don't mind sharing your idea!
Thanks!

Check Scrim King here. This guy has taken care of me, and is a friend of Virtual DJ. They also come in black, and a nice little carrying pouch.

Its just plain white sheets of lycra, To be honest I checked out the scrimkings at bpm and they are totally overpriced for what they are. All you have to do is pop the cloth over the top of the stand and put your speaker on, then pull the two sides down and tuck under the stands feet. Then all I do is pull the side round the back of the stand and put a clamp on it to hold it there.
LED parcan between the two front legs pointing upwards and its done. I have had nothing but positive comments from clients and it serves the purpose of covering ugly tripods and makes them more visible, thus less of a trip hazard.

I like your idea Dragono, at the end of the day if your in a tight venue it might save somebody.

That would look cool if it was hard plastic & went up higher.

Truthfully, when my father in-law made them I told myself that I would never use them. But then I remembered at a Christmas party when a couple of people accidentally kicked my speaker stand and almost tripped. I had a miserable gig cuz I kept worrying and constantly looking at my speaker stand when people walked by it. Yeah, I admit they're not the best looking thing, but they have saved my speakers and possible injury to a guest a few times.
