Unfortunately, I spent about an hour today and could not find anything with the strength, footprint and portability! I will let you know what I find. Roy deserves to be up high and slighted tilted in my opinion!

I KNOW I sound like a broken record, but, you guys should really find someone that knows how to mount a speaker pole socket in your area, you would never look back!!! Trusting something that heavy to a stand is only asking for trouble, and the speaker stand has variable heights, that gets the speaker right where it needs to be. It literally puts the controls at your fingertips!!! I have put more gigs on mine than many people would do in a lifetime (no exaggeration), and it shows NO sign of strain. And for someone that knows what they are doing this is 1/2 hour job at most with these steps, I've done 3 Schertlers and even the first one took less than an hour, and I'm no woodworker...
take the grill off pull out the bottom speaker pull back the speaker batting from the bottom of the cab put some plastic over the batting to catch the sawdust, turn the cab over and mark the center drill with a hole-saw (I use one I got for mounting door knobs) put speaker pole mount in hole and mark for the bolt holes, drill bolt holes clean away any sawdust mount socket with bolts and lock-washers put speaker back in put grill back on Any decent amp tech could do this in their sleep. And the sockets are rated for far more weight than the Roy! Parts needed...

You’re not anywhere near central PA are you?

No, I'm in Utah, but if I was close enough, I'd do it for the cost of a beer. Of course I would drink it after the power tools were put away
If I was looking for someone to do it I would first check local PA/Live-Sound companies. |

I'll figure something out. Hopefully without modifying Roy too much!

Before someone start making change to the cabinet on a speaker design, it would be a good idea to check with the manufacturer to see why that feature was left off, it may change the tuning on the cabinet. IMO.

Schertler sells a pole mount but doesn't recommend it for the bigger Jam 400 and Roy. Probably because it's really too small to get the job done. The one I use has a backing plate for the inside to strengthen the connection and it easily handles the weight. And Schertler knows that I've have done this to my Schertler amps, and they had nothing bad to say. If you would have read my post you would have seen I have more gigs on my Jam 400 that most people will put on their rigs in a lifetime, and no, it does not change the sound of the cabinet one bit!!! Cabinet tuning is definitely not a problem. It also didn't affect the tuning of my smaller Jam 200. If you were to look in the cabinets you would find Schertler use tons of batting inside which would affect the tuning MUCH more than a pole mount!
