NOTE: 

Make  sure  that  the  key-hole  plate  is  properly  engaged  with 
the suspension screw before you let go of the loudspeaker. 

 
6. 

  

Insert a M5 x 40mm counter sunk head screw into each of the four loudspeaker locking screw holes 

on the rear face of the stand back panel, D, figure 3ii.  Ensure that the screws are properly engaged with 
the  inserts  on  the  rear  face  of  the loudspeaker.    Tighten  using  the  appropriate  hex  key  until the  screw 
head is flush with the surface of the stand back panel and then tighten a further 

half turn

 
7.  Take  a  terminal  plate  and  connect  the  red  banana  plug  to  the  read  socket  on  the  back  of  the 
loudspeaker and the black banana plug to the black socket on the back of the loudspeaker as shown in 
figure 5. 
                                     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

8.  Line up the four holes in the terminal plate with the four holes marked E in figure 3ii and insert a M4 x 
12mm  socket  head  screw  into  each  hole.  Tighten  each  screw  using  the  appropriate  hex  key  until  the 
terminal plate is pulled securely against the back of the stand. 
 
 

 5.   LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT AND SET-UP 
 

NOTE: 

DO  NOT place  the  loudspeakers  close  to  cathode  ray  type 
monitors or projectors, as the very powerful magnets used 
in  the  drivers  may  affect  the  picture.    We  recommend  a 
minimum separation of 2m. 

 

Adjusting the Spikes 

The base of the PQS-Plus stand is fitted with four spikes of the type shown in figure 6.  The spikes are  
supplied with a special washer, A, figure 6. This is flat on one side and has a recess machined into the 
other side.  It is intended to be placed under the spike, flat side down and used  where the user does 
not want the spike to come into direct contact with the floor, for example when the loudspeakers are to 
be placed on a polished wooden floor.  When the washer is used, make sure that the tip of the spike is 
located in the centre of the recess.
