Instructions

    • 1

      Attach a Quick Lok Z Laptop Stand to your keyboard stand (see "Resources"). The Quick Lok Z Laptop stand is a convenient and portable device that can be easily clamped to your keyboard stand that provides a flat, horizontal surface to easily rest a laptop or audio interface. This eliminates the need for another stand by adding an additional level to the keyboard stand you already have.

      Adjust the Quick Lok Z Laptop stand to the appropriate settings. If you need the controls of your interface to be quickly and easily accessible as you are performing, tilt the laptop stand forward so the knobs and controls are easier to access and read.

    • 3

      Attach Velcro to the bottom of your audio interface. Depending on your interface, you may need to remove rubber feet from its bottom in order to make a flat surface.

    • 4

      Attach the Velcro's other component to desired spot on your laptop stand.

    • 5

      Place the Velcro you previously attached to your audio interface to the Velcro adhered to your laptop stand. Check for a durable bond, and you now have a professional, safe and efficient environment to perform and utilize your audio interface.
