Spikes and Feet

Select finishes are supplied with a foam gasket on the out-rigger, please ensure this side is placed on the
cabinet.

For Wooden/Hard Floors

(Silver 200, 300 and 500 only)
The feet and 'out-riggers' are supplied assembled for use on non-
carpeted, wooden/ hard floors or where spikes are inappropriate. All
that is required is to fix them to the speaker base using the supplied
bolts and hex keys.
You can check that the speaker is level on all sides by using a spirit level
(not supplied). If it's slightly off-level, unscrew the foot at the lowest
point and check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is fully
level. Use the locking nuts on each foot to fix the feet in place and to
stop any unwanted vibrations.

For Carpeted Floors

(Silver 200, 300 and 500 only)
If the speaker is being installed on a carpeted floor, screw the spike into
the foot and 'out-rigger' assembly. Fix them to the speaker base using
the supplied bolts and hex keys.
You can check that the speaker is level on all sides by using the spirit
level. If it's slightly off-level, unscrew the foot at the lowest point and
check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is fully level. Use
the locking nuts on each foot to fix the feet in place and to stop any
unwanted vibrations.
Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet that
could be damaged by the spikes.

Setting Up

2 Channel Positioning

When arranging a 2 channel system, the listening position and the
loudspeakers should form an equilateral triangle. Ideally the speakers
should be positioned approximately 6 - 10 feet (1.8 - 3m) apart and a
minimum of 3 feet (91cm) from the side walls. The ideal distance from
the rear wall varies depending on the speaker (see list below).
• Silver 50
• Silver 100 & 200
• Silver 300 & Silver 500
NOTE: These are recommended distances for optimal performance.
Actual results will vary dependant on room size and construction.
Experimentation is strongly advised when setting up the speakers, as
environment and personal preference will differ with every installation.
If there is insufficient bass for example, try moving your speakers closer
to the rear wall. The opposite approach is recommended if there is excess bass. Also see the information on
page 6 referring to Port Bungs. If stereo imaging is being lost, try 'toeing' them in slightly. The sound should
appear to originate from the centre point between the speakers, not the actual speakers themselves.
