Installation

Mounting the plinth

Before using the FM-50 loudspeaker the metal plinth has to be mounted. Start by removing the speakers from the carton boxes:

WARNING:

 Please note that using spikes under your speakers will invariably leave marks on your fl oor or any other surface that you place 

the speakers on. Gato Audio cannot accept any responsibility for any type of damage to fl oor, furniture surfaces, marriage or anything 
else resulting from the use of spikes. It is up to you and your family to consider carefully beforehand whether the improvements in sound 
quality and performance will outweigh the possibility of any inconvenience caused.

Using spikes

1. 

Place the 4 spikes in 
the holes of the plinth 
by screwing them in 
clockwise

1. 

Leaving the foam pieces on, turn 
the speakers upside down. Then 
remove the two foam pieces from 
the bottom of the speaker.

2. 

Turn the spikes up or down 
to adjust the speaker height 
from the fl oor, so all spikes 
are touching the fl oor at the 
same time

2. 

Mount a plinth on each speaker 
with 5 cylinder screws with the 
supplied hex screw driver.

3. 

Turn the fastener clockwise 
until it is positioned tightly 
against the plinth. Make 
sure the spike does not 
turn during the process by 
grasping the top with your 
other hand if necessary

3. 

You can now turn the speaker 
upright again. 

4. 

The spike feet can be 
applied to protect the 
surface underneath the 
spikes
