Now you have opened the carton, we hope you are reading this manual.
If you are unpacking the larger loudspeakers remember that these units are heavy. We suggest that you have someone to
assist you.
Lift the loudspeaker carefully out of the packing. Do NOT try and lift the loudspeaker using the cloth bag.
Unpack any accessories carefully.
If there is any sign of damage or if the contents are incomplete, report this to your dealer as soon as possible.
Stand mounting loudspeakers are ready to be connected after unpacking.
Retain the packing for future safe transport of the product. If you dispose of the packing, do so with respect to any
recycling provisions in your area.
The larger loudspeakers will need to be
assembled on their plinths and spike kits.
Ensure you have plenty of unobstructed working space.
Place a soft cloth on the floor to protect the loudspeaker.
Invert the loudspeaker onto the cloth.
Thread a locknut onto each spike and loosely run it up
the thread.
Thread the spikes onto the spike inserts. Tighten them
finger tight.
Thread a spike knob on to the head of each spike.
Place the spacing washers over the holes as indicated.
Place the plinth on the
loudspeaker. Place a washer over each of the four round
head screws. Insert the screws into the threaded holes on
the loudspeaker and tighten securely.
Invert the loudspeaker. Be careful not to damage the
floor with the spikes.
You will probably find that the speaker will wobble with one spike not
contacting the floor. Adjust this spike until all four spikes are on the floor.
With the aid of a spirit level move each spike in and out until the
loudspeaker is level and sitting squarely on all four spikes with no rocking.
Now tighten each locknut securely against the collar in the plinth to secure
the spike.
Thread the knob onto the spike and tighten to secure the assembly.
A spike seat is provided for use on wood or stone floors etc. and should be
placed as shown.
The plinth is an integral part of the design. Do NOT use floorstanding loudspeakers without the plinth properly
attached.
The spacers lift the base of the loudspeaker off the plinth by a precisely calculated amount. This space forms the exit
path for the Quarter Wave transmission line. On no account should these spacers be omitted or substituted as this will
seriously impair the low bass performance of your loudspeakers.
