5  Assembly 

     

Before you begin -- Spacers are provided to adjust the vertical angle of the 
speakers for a combination of sitting and standing listening positons. Install 
the spacers on the bottom mounting bolt to tilt the speaker backwards. 

Th

amount of angle will be dependent on your particular listening conditions. 
Under most conditions, stacking 2 spacers will be adequate; however, some 
experimentation may be necessary. 

A.  Remove speakers and feet from carton. 

Th

e 8 mounting bolts are installed 

 

in the speakers. 

B.  We suggest the assistance of a second person will facilitate the installation 

 

of the feet. Place the speaker on its side edge. 

C.  Remove the 8 bolts from the internal T-nuts. Note that one end of the foot 

 

is longer than the other end. Place the longer end toward the front of the 
speaker. Carefully align the foot on the backside of the panel so the holes 
in the foot line up with the bolts in the panel. Using your 

fi

ngers, insert a 

bolt through the center hole until the bolt engages with the nut in the 
panel. Do not use a screwdriver until the bolt has engaged the threads. 
Care must be taken not to cross-thread the bolts. Use longer bolts if 
spacers are used to tilt the speaker. 

D.  Repeat the same procedure for top hole. 

 

E.  Tighten all the bolts securely.
