Set-Up Instructions 

 
The SXR Audio Stand consists of a frame structure and the isolation bases that 
support each component.  The components required to assemble the frame are 
shipped in one or more boxes.  The number of boxes depends on the system size.  
Each box containing parts for the frame will be marked with the model number 
starting with SXR.  All the wrenches required to put the frame together are 
included with the shipment. 
 

Work Surface

 - Prior to unpacking any material, locate a very strong and very 

stable work surface (capable of supporting 250 lb. load) or area on the floor that 
will give you a very soft scratch resistant work area that is at three feet by three 
feet in size.  The more space you have the better, as it will give you room to move 
around the frame to complete assembly.  It is important that the area be free of all 
dirt, screws or small pebbles, and that it is covered with a clean soft protective 
blanket of same size that will prevent damage to high quality finish on the frame. 
 

Unpacking Assembly Hardware

 - Remove all the contents from all the boxes 

marked with SXR model number.   Place all the hardware on a table adjacent to 
your selected work surface and remove all the wrapping material.  Be careful not 
to drop or allow the anodized aluminum parts to contact each other as they may 
scratch the surface.  Do not stack the parts on top of each other once they are 
removed from the protective packaging material.  To make assembly easier group 
identical parts together in an organized manner.  Make sure all tubes are 
matched for proper (same) length. 

 

This audio stand will be assembled upside down.  Depending on what frame 
configuration you have purchased there will be a number of Support Braces that 
have threaded studs already attached.  Do not try to remove these threaded studs 
as they are attached to the frame.  These Support Braces with threads will be the 
top of the audio stand. 
 
 
 
 

Note: 

Depending on how your SXR audio stand frame was shipped it may arrive 
partially assembled.  This means Steps 1 and 2 would have been completed so the 
Support Braces and Cross Braces will already be attached.  If your SXR was 
partially assembled, complete assembly by skipping Steps 1 and 2 and referring to 
the instructions at Step 3.
