Because it is (incorrectly) against the law in many countries to beat knob twiddlers to a bloody pulp with an old pump stand we need products like this.
This is a really well designed product. The finish is good, no sharp edges, well painted.
It stands off enough to protect mic processors and similar items.
The perforations allow you to see leds and knobs easily enough to leave it in place when you've done your set-up.
This is a well priced item that will help me keep morons from playing with things they don't understand.
