With a diameter of 55mm on the mounting tube, that's a bit large for a speaker stand, but it certainly is the idea...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...

That's the OD. It looks like it's designed for 1.5" schedule 40 steel pipe, which is ~1.9" (48mm).

Of course, it's upside down here in the States..... :D

A thing I know: NPT=National Pipe Thread. So it's to fit black or galvanized 1&1/2" threaded pipe. That gets you close enough to adapt to speaker stand diameter with creativity.

Understood guys.

What I'm trying to say is ID of a standard top hat is designed to accept a standard 1 3/8" or 35mm OD speaker stand...

The linked adapter is for hanging loads from a ceiling, not the top of a stand.

yea I saw that this was the case. That or something like it would probably work the same way.

If it can handle 500 lbs hanging(tension), it should be fine sitting (compression).

Sorry, David, but not so true. The hanging tension is static, not swinging as using the linked device would put moving pressures where the device is not designed to handle them. I would suggest writing/emailing them before ordering to verify. I will ALWAYS recommend to err on the side of caution when using or making things to work out of the normal safety zones.

If it were me, I would buy a pair of the 6' tall scaffolding from Lowe's or Home Depot.

In all honesty, more than one cab on one stand scares the CRAP out of me, that's why I designed and conctructed my own solution for my OT12s. For more than two cabs per side, I plan on ground-stacking them on aluminum scaffold planks on standard scaffold. These are rated for 75 lbs dynamic per square foot.
