Nice work! Refreshing to see an audio desk with clean cable management, I've seen so many videos that are essentially just "how to hide three power cables".. I'm running a triple computer KVM rig and this is the first video I've seen that actually handles a good amount of cabling
@kiasohc5016 Рік тому

I used to have a setup like this. Spent a lot of time on it too. Lived in a condo and my neighbor gave me bed bugs. Perfect hiding place for the little suckers with all the tight spaces the organization gives. Recently moved but never had the heart to do the same organization. Watching videos like this gives me peace.

That custom DIY Monitor stand setup is Top Tier. I’m going to have to replicate it along with those custom cables. The regular cables stick out so much. I have the Gator Frameworks Desktop Clamp-on Studio Monitor Stands and they’re ok, but it has such a wide and narrow depth baseplate my speakers are hanging off. Thanks for the idea! You the man!

@KittenBowl1 6 місяців тому
Thanks for the tips on how to keep all the cables tidy! Since covid days I have been working from home 90-100% of the time except some outings and rare customer meetings. So I recently purchased nice table top (light colored oak desktop) and powerful electric powered legs. It's been amazing actually as far as the desk itself. I was initially worried about electric powered legs may break down in future, but it comes with a 5 year warranty and it's a popular brand (high ratings) so I gave it a go, and I have been happy ever since. I am now on the hunt for a great monitor arm (in white color as the theme is white colored legs and oak desk top). I am in high tech (software industry) so most of my work is with PC. So electric powered desk that can be raised and lowered easily was a must for me. Now my neck and shoulder pain I used to get when I didn't stand up throughout the day just disappeared. I really want to setup my desk now with a 4G monitor and the desktop (as I don't really need MacBook now...I use smartphone while I travel though I currently use MacBook now), so this cable setup (especially the monitor cable setup part) was quite helpful. Thank you!
@sanj33v 8 місяців тому
You gave me inspiration to build a standing desk of my own. 1. (Below the desk) The no-show wires (while watching got idea to make wiring inside the thick table itself) 2. The jack : mostly standing desks have hydraulics and they come way costlier than my budget. So the car jack principle is actually awesome. 3. (Above the desk) The stands/pipes give good aesthetics and remove clutter on the desk. Thanks for sharing. It will take time for me to build but surely will share once done.

Any good setup takes a lot of work. This is a well thought out system, good job. I am in the middle of my own adventure, with this giant microphone I have, I need the mother of all boom arms for this thing, king bee 2. I decided on getting this 39 inch post, with a pneumatic arm, that should pretty cool. It gives me room to mount more stuff on there later on, like a laptop stand. I have so many cables to get sorted out soon, I got a Furman power filter just recently, now I have to re-route all the cables, one final time. It's probably going to take several hours, no joke. I'm gonna set up some blankets and pillows on the floor lol.

@erwinlommer197 Рік тому
For speaker mounts you can use cheap monitor arms. Most of them have enough adjustability so the monitor mounting bit can be rotated 90degrees flat so you can place your speaker on top of it. So you don't need to mount speakers with screws from the back like you do with monitors. Just screw some plywood to the vesa mounts and put the speaker on top of it. Much better than screwing your speaker stands into the desk with solid unadjustable mounts. You can also tilt your speakers to any angle and it holds the angle. It won't collapse or give out unless you really mess up your positioning where you locate the vesa mount. Then it is easy to add all sorts of connectivity through the speaker arms as well.

On the FREDDE, I have a pc, a 3.1 sony sound system, 1 printer, 1 Hyper Quadcast mic and elgato low profile stand, few external hard disk, all kept in the best way possible with cables hidden. But I like the idea of drilling and making new options for better cable management, I have to go back and see, how I can improve. Your take on this is good and I will definitely improve my setup to make it more clean. "If you don't like to see cables, you gotta buy longer cables :-)"
@Movieman1965 Рік тому
Iv'e updated my PC system so many times that.... I just let the cables lay in the back by the wall for future upgrades and changes. But then again I'm a mechanical design engineer and my work office desk is cluttered with all kinds of project things. So yeah, I guess you can say that I'm not a neat freak. But sometimes I do go ahead and do a major organization spree every few years... But still clutter doesn't bother me unless it's not a totally useful clutter! Now if I build a machine then yeah. I do that very organized all the way around. So it depends what it is for me. Hahahaha! Nice clean set-up you have there!
