THIEL Tower 1
Stabilizer spikes and threaded rubber bumpers: In the gift box are eight stabilizer
spike sets (pin, washer and puck) and eight threaded black rubber bumpers.
Speakers positioned on a soft or uneven surface are able to rock slightly and will
vibrate in reaction to the forces that the speaker generates to move the driver di-
aphragms. (Every action has an equal and opposite reaction). This motion slightly
reduces the music’s clarity. To eliminate this effect, the TT1s can be used with four
stabilizer spikes or threaded rubber bumpers to provide a more solid footing and allow
the speakers to couple more firmly to the floor.
The floor type in your listening environment will determine which variety is best for
your particular application. The stabilizer spike is recommended if the speakers will
be placed on a rug or carpet, as the spike’s tip will pierce the soft material to ensure
greater stability. If the speakers will be directly on the floor, it is advisable to use the
stabilizer spike with the spike puck or the threaded rubber bumper to prevent scratch-
es or marks to the floor.The speakers should be positioned before the stabilizer feet or
threaded rubber bumpers are installed.
Caution:
Be cautioned that it is possible to mar the floor’s surface if the speakers
are moved with the spikes in place. Please utilize the spike puck to protect
the floor from any potential damage that such movement could cause.
To install:
{
Installation is the same for the threaded black rubber bumper except no washer
or base is required.}
1.
Position the speaker in the desired location.
2.
Tilt the speaker forward slightly so that the back of the speaker is a few
inches off of the floor.
3.
Screw one spike, with the locking nut threaded all the way onto the spike,
into each of the two holes at the back corners of the speaker bottom. The
pins should be screwed into the speaker until there is about ¼ inch of
thread remaining visible.
4.
Let the back of the speaker down, and then tilt the speaker backward
slightly so that the front is a few inches off the floor and install the two front
spikes.
5.
With all four spikes installed, the height of each spike should be adjusted so
that the speaker stands firmly on the floor without wobbling. Then, tighten
the lock nuts by turning them so they are tight against the cabinet to secure
the spikes to the cabinet.
THIEL Monitor 3
Adhesive Pads: Included in the gift box is a set of clear adhesive-backed rubber pads
to provide optional protection and cushioning between the bottom of the speaker and
the surface upon which it rests.
To apply, carefully tilt the TM3 back and adhere a rubber pad to each corner of the
base of the speaker; stand upright when finished.

The THIEL speaker cabinets are carefully crafted using quality materials and veneers.
We recommend using a damp microfiber (soft) cloth to dust or clean them. Avoid
rough cloths because they will scratch the high-gloss painted finish of the speaker
cabinets.
