I sit in a leather recliner and after a left cheek sneak I asked her if she heard that. If you need to plug something else in to the wall outlet this MUST be plugged in to the bottom outlet. My feet problems finally have help. It was a great experience and the person who received it for Christmas is very pleased with it! But overall a great stand if you?ve got all the gear and need somewhere to put it. This version does not have the pre-drilled holes for using screws to hold it down, but that was easy enough to add with a drill or a drill press. Trying to call JBL now for support. No no. I first bought the Wald 520. Best investment I made!
