Speaker Installation

The speakers are intended to be floor mounted only. It is
important to ensure that the speakers stand firmly on the floor
using the spike feet supplied whenever possible. In addition, fit
the plinth for proper stability.
You may attach the plinth during the unpacking process, following
the diagrams on the top flap of the carton. Alternatively, you may
attach it after the product has been fully unpacked, by covering
a suitable support such as a table with a cloth and laying the
speaker on its side with the base of the cabinet overhanging the
support. Align the plinth with its attachment holes in the underside
of the cabinet, ensuring that the arrow on the underside of the
plinth points forwards. Secure the plinth using the screws and
washers supplied. Fit the shakeproof washers between the plain
washers and the screw heads. Tighten the screws using the
Allen key supplied.

The spike feet are designed to pierce carpet and rest on the floor
surface. Initially, screw the lock nuts onto the spikes enough to
leave the nuts floating just above the carpet when the spikes
are resting on the floor beneath. Screw the spikes fully into the
threaded inserts in the plinth. If the cabinet rocks when placed
on the floor, unscrew the two spikes that do not touch the floor
until the cabinet rests firmly without rocking. Finally, lock the nuts
against the cabinet. It may be more convenient to fit and adjust
the spike feet after speaker positioning has been optimised.
If there is no carpet and you wish to avoid scratching the floor
surface, use either a protective metal disc (a coin perhaps)
between the spike and the floor, or use the supplied rubber feet.
Fit the rubber feet and level the cabinet in the same manner as
with the spike feet.
