Elipson Speaker Tripod with Cable Pass-Through

Elipson Speaker Tripod with Cable Pass-Through

The Elipson Speaker Tripod with Cable Pass-Through is a dedicated floor stand for Elipson’s spherical Planet W35 family of speakers, including the W35 Xi. A spherical speaker is designed to be seen as well as heard, and placing it on a tripod lifts it off a sideboard or shelf, positions it at a more suitable listening height and gives it a stable, purpose-built base. This version uses a satin black metal base and feet with an integrated hidden cable channel, so the speaker’s power cable can be routed through the stand rather than hanging visibly down the back of the furniture.

Key features

• Dedicated tripod stand for the Elipson Planet W35 speaker family
• Compatible with the W35 Xi, with the wider W35 line as its intended pairing
• Integrated cable pass-through for a concealed speaker cable run
• Satin black metal base and feet
• Three-leg tripod footprint for stability on the floor
• Raises the spherical speaker to a freestanding listening position

Why a spherical speaker needs its own stand

The Planet W35 speakers are 350 mm diameter spheres. They can sit on a flat surface, be wall mounted or be ceiling mounted, but each option changes both the look of the installation and the height at which the drivers sit in the room. A floor tripod is the freestanding option. It requires no drilling, it can be repositioned when a room is rearranged, and it presents the sphere as a standalone piece rather than an object placed on existing furniture. For a design-led speaker, that presentation is part of the product, which is why Elipson produces a stand shaped and finished specifically for this range instead of leaving owners to adapt a generic speaker stand.

Cable pass-through

The defining feature of this version is the integrated cable channel. A powered speaker such as the W35 Xi needs a mains cable, and in many rooms an Ethernet or audio cable as well. On an open tripod those cables would normally be visible against the legs. The pass-through routes the cable inside the stand structure, so the visible result is a cleaner installation with fewer loose cables crossing the floor. It also keeps the cable run controlled and less exposed to being caught or pulled when the area around the speaker is cleaned or walked past.

Construction and finish

Elipson specifies this tripod with a satin black metal base and feet and the hidden cable integrated into the design. The catalogue dimensions for the hidden-cable tripod are 587 mm wide by 442 mm high by 442 mm deep, which describes the splayed three-leg footprint and the height to the mounting point, and the listed weight is 1.43 kg. Assembly follows Elipson’s tripod instructions for the W35, in which the speaker is fixed to the stand at its underside mounting point. Owners should confirm the exact fixing and the speaker model before ordering, because Elipson has produced more than one tripod variant for the W35 family, including wooden-leg versions with different finishes.

Placement and use

With the speaker on the tripod, placement becomes a listening decision rather than a furniture decision. A single W35 family speaker produces stereo sound from one body, so a central freestanding position often suits it, while two speakers used as a left and right pair in the Elipson app benefit from symmetrical tripod placement either side of a television or listening position. The tripod is an accessory stand only and does not include a speaker. It is intended for indoor domestic and studio-style installations where a stable, movable and visually tidy floor position is preferred over a fixed wall or ceiling mount.
