What characterises our »Omega« stands
- It is highly stable – through the compact steel tube construction and large round end caps
- Simple and fine-tuned height adjustment through the two sided spring-loaded locking screws
- The support arms can be adjusted to suit the size of the keyboard. (Keyboards up to 50 kg)
- For transportation the keyboard stand folds up and is very compact.
Our »Omega« stands are:
18800 Table-style keyboard stand »Omega-E«
18810 Table-style keyboard stand »Omega«,
18820 Table-style keyboard stand »Omega Pro« and
18810 and 18820 are available in black, white and ruby red.
The »Omega« keyboard tables are predestined to be equipped / optimized with additional equipment
Generally the support surface is equipped with twelfe holes, to be able to mount the accessories into the desired position (from the middle – the holes are arranged in two row times six holes that are equidistant on both sides). Theoretically, all accessory products can be used at the same time! The equipment is suitable for Omega 18800, 18810 and 18820. Only the laptop holder 18815 (#6) can´t be used for the »Omega-E« 18880.
For mounting & moving
Adapter 18814 (A) is needed to mount the universal holder (which is needed for the equipment listed below). The Adapter 18814 is placed in the desired hole, such that the open tube points away from the keyboard player. The tube combination – consisting of an adapter and accessories – can be placed in this.
The attachment (#4) can be mounted directly with the help of a drill-hole template and the laptop holder (#6), as well as the universal holder (#7), is attached to the “legs”, the steel construction on the side, using a clamp prisma.
The Trolley for Keyboard Stands (18806) keeps your keyboard stand on the move. Both trolleys are adjustable in length and provide extra mobility on stage, in rehearsal rooms or at home.

HI
Im interested in buying the keyboard stand omega table. But i cant find how the keyboard is fastened to the table to stop it falling off if someone walks into it? The sliders do they hold the keyboard solidly enough to stop any movement?
Many thanks
Hi Peter,
thanks for your interest!
when using a keyboard on an Omega, in most cases no additional fastening is required.
However, please note that improper use may lead to the keyboard falling.
If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.
Best regards and stay safe,
your K&M-Team
I’d like to use the Omega with a 88 key stage keyboard (Roland RD-88) 258mm deep)that is fairly narrow. Will it accommodate the narrow depth?
Hi Tim, for that case we have the new support arms 18827 https://www.k-m.de/en/products/keyboard-stands/keyboard-tables/18827-digital-piano-support-for-omega-black Best regards, Jochen (K&M-Team)
Hi, I’m looking for exactly this, only narrower, to accommodate a small 4-octave keyboard in a tight space. I need the width between the legs to be around 60cm.
Do you do custom versions, or can you suggest any other solution?
Thanks – Jon
Hi Jon,
thanks for your interest!
Unfortunately the base dimension cannot be changed.
Here we also have no possibility to offer customized versions.
Have you checked out our X-stands yet? Maybe there is a model that fits your needs:

Hi,
I’m looking to buy a mic floor stand / boom combination where the boom can also attached my 18810.
Do all the K&M mic booms attach to 18817/18810 or is it only the 21140?
Can the 21140 also be attached to other floor stands?
Thanks
Hi Keith,
you can use all boom arms in combination with the 18817 or other floor stands.
Please check if your 18817 or your microphone stand has a 3/8 or 5/8 inch thread.
The model of the boom arm must be selected accordingly.
Best regards,
your K&M-Team
Hi there,
I had the deal 18810 Table-style keyboard stand »Omega«, with the stacker. Also bought the sheet music holder. But the two together is no good! I do want the sheet music in fornt of me in the middel, so maybe I should have paid more attention. Also I realized becasue I have 88 keyboard, it is not so handy to add the keyboard tray to the side, because it would not fit. (I did not buy that one though) Just tryig to make it all work for me. Anyway. Maybe good to add this kind of information and maybe let me know if I can return the stacker and the Controller keyboard tray I bought with it?
hi. how wide is the space underneath in between the legs?
thanks
Hi Ben,
thanks for your comment!
The space between the two feet is about 86 cm.
Hi, I’m about to receive a Hammond Stage Keyboard SK Pro 73 key. The dimensions are 1170mm wide and 322mm deep, and the weight is 11kg. I like your keyboard stands as they are sturdy and are able to attach additional items, e.g. I would like to have the sheet music stand attached. Looking at your keyboard stands and stage piano stands I cannot see one which supports this width of keyboard. My keyboard would extend over sides of the stand quite a lot. Are any of your stands extendable to a width of up to 110cm for example? I would be concerned about the keyboard being accidently tipped over if too much weight was applied to the one of ends.
Hi,
Thank you for your comment and that you are actually considering buying one of our keyboard stands. I would like to recommend you our »Omega« keyboard stand (e.g. 18810), which fits your mentioned keyboard model. The dimensions of the Omega stand are 970 x 575 mm which means that the keyboard stand would extend only 10 cm over both sides. This is absolutely acceptable.
If you have any further questions feel free to contact us!
Kind regards,
Your K&M-Team / Fabian
Thank you for your reply, Fabian. It is the 10cm(or 4 inches) overhang on each end that I was concerned about but if this is acceptable and will ensure a sturdy base for the keyboard then that is fine.
Regards
Paul
I am impressed by your line so I am going to build my second set of 18810+18811+18822.
Can I use the K&M 18803 Tabletop on a 18810 and still mounting 18811 and 18822 on the same 18810?
Thanks!
Hello Luca,
thank you for your comment!
I’m happy to tell you that it is possible to use the mentioned products at the same time!
If you have any further questions regarding our products or our service, please feel free to contact us anytime!
Hi, I have a Kawai MP11SE with dimensions 1380mm x 452mm x190mm ; I would like to buy the 18810 or 18820 but I am not sure if the piano is too big for this stand. Can you advise me? thanks in advance
Hello Frank!
thank you for your comment. Both models are absolutely suitable for your keyboard!
Best regards!
Hi, would it be possible to have monitor speakers (Yamaha HS7) mounted to each side behind the keyboard using the laptop stand or is this one not sturdy enough to hold to those?
Hello Kris.
Should be no problem at all! We hope, you enjoy using our products.
Cheers!
Hello! I would love to buy directly from you, but I live in the United States. Do you ship oversees?
Hi!
Thank you for your interest in our products.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. Please contact a local dealer.
Best regards!
Hi, I have a Roland Fantom 8 with dimensions 1430mm x 439mm x153mm ; I would like to buy the 18820 but I am not sure if the piano is too big for this stand. Can you advise me? thanks in advance
Hello!
I have the 18810 table, and an older 18813 second tier. If I wanted a third tier, is the 18822 compatible with my 18813 in any way (for example, removing the plastic end-caps), or would I need to need to buy a 18811 aswell?
thanks
Hello!
On many examples, I see the expected multi-layer usage scenario something like this: a large keyboard (or tabletop like 18803) below, then goes the stacker (18811 or 18822) and then a smaller keyboard above. If you need to put something but the keyboard on the next levels, typically 18819 Controller Keyboard Tray is used.
My question is: is it possible, instead, to use the 18803 tabletop on the second level of stackers? I want to use a small keyboard (Keystep-size, so even 18827 would be sufficient for the keyboard-level), but I want to put a 19″-sized Eurorack case above it, on a tabletop probably.
Alternately/a second question, is: are there existing/planned any solutions to integrate 19″ rack hardware on next levels of Omega?
Hi!
Is it possible to add casters or wheels to move the stand?
Thanks
Hey!
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, the suitable trolley set has the article number 18806-000-55.
Cheers!
Hi!
My search may be over! What exactly is used above? Minus the laptop stand and mic stand? Just the keyboards stand and 2nd tier. It may be perfect for my little rig I’m trying to set up. I have a Yamaha YC 73 for the bottom. And a Minimoog on top. Are those 2nd tier arms adjustable width wise? It looks like it in the above photo? Looks like there’s a skinny Moog on top? And can those 2nd tier arms bring that Moog down any further? Please tell me the models used to accommodate this.
Thanks so much!
Ron

The rubber protection pad on one of my 18811 Stackers is torn.
Is it possible to order a replacement so I can repair this?

Replying to another Alex who wrote on 23 January 2023… sorry, replying almost an year later 🙂 But maybe that will be helpful to someone.
The question was whether 18803 tabletop can be used on the second level of stackers. I have a pretty extensive setup of Omega (and going to expand it once more this month) and tried a number of combinations – I am also in the same boat with a small Keystep 37, an Eurorack synth and another 19″/9U rack.
From my experiments, you really don’t want to put anything heavy higher at this table – if any heavy equipment stays on “lowest floor”, directly on 18803, the whole setup feels much more sturdy than if the heavy equipment goes higher (I just moved Console 1 from level 3 to level 1 – and had to move the Keystep 37 to level 3 unfortunately – but now everything feels much safer)
And 18803 definitely cannot be put on second level – there are separate/dedicated “smaller tabletops/trays” for level 2 and 3.
Putting a 19″/Eurorack on the second floor/on the tray is clearly an option though. This may limit your future extension (to make a third floor), but if it’s just a 3U of Eurorack, it will still fit perfectly under the third level extension! I had a custom Eurorack case on level 3, and the whole level 3 above, and there was a lot of space between.
If you want to put something like Eurorack/6U on the second floor, you’d better double-check the measurements before. Not only the height (from the “second floor tabletop” to the next level handle), but also the depth (all handles have the diagonal supports; so if your equipment is too deep and simultaneously too high, it may fit under the support handles but the back part will conflict with the diagonal supports).
Another interesting option (which I haven’t pursued myself but which may be an option, indeed) is… to build “almost two tables”! And even here, you have two options – so flexible Omega is.
One is: you make a proper Omega table with the 18803 tabletop; and you put like 18811 (and optionally 18822) extensions on it. And then you go and buy the second set 18811s, but also buy a 18828 basic support – which allows you to convert 18811 to a “table stand”. And then you basically put “18811 with the 18828” as a table stand onto another, more valid table (which happens to be Omega, too)!
The other option is likely less supported by K&M, and K&M would probably never confirm it (due to more complex configurations, so you have to do that on your own risk and measures). But… but you probably can put (at least) two different sets of 18811 on a single Omega table – if they are configured for different heights. Only one of them will be a good fit for the tray; the other one(s) should be used for keyboard only (and some Keysteps are rather small to fit). But it is possible you’ll be able to squeeze one as the “intermediate level” between the tabletop and the proper second level.
Hope it helps you (or anybody else choosing these tables).
And I also agree and join the request for any Eurorack/19″ support by these Omegas!
Hello! I have a couple of questions:
1) Can all three table / tray options (18803, 18819, and 18824) be fitted to all three tiers of the Omega stand at the same time?
2) Can the 18819 tray be fitted when using the 18823 XL Support arms for the 18811 2nd tier? Would this enable use of a keyboard with a depth greater than 330cm on this tier?
Hi Matt,
Regarding point 1 – you can of course use the corresponding table top (18803) or tray (top) (18819 and 18824) on all three levels.
Point 2 – even if the top 18811 is converted to the support arm XL 18823, the tray 18819 can still be used. Then (but only then) the depth is enough for keyboards that are larger than 330 cm.
Best regards,
Jochen (K&M-Team)
