THX ARENDAL, Handbook

Page: 28 / 48

Supplied with The Tower and Monitor Stands, The Spike kit is
there to ensure a fi rm stable mounting of your loudspeaker,
with the ability to adjust tilt to suit listening seat height and
uneven fl oors.
We recommend optimization of speaker positioning (see How
to Setup Loudspeakers in this handbook) prior to fi tting the
spikes to prevent damaging fl oors and fl oor coverings. Due
to the massive construction of Arendal Sound Speakers and
despite the large size of our spikes, we do not recommend
walking the speaker, or dragging the speaker on its spikes as
this may damage The Spike Kit.
Once positioned, you need only slide the locking ring under
the Spike Bar and then screw the spike in from above using
the top Adjusting Ring. We recommend starting with the
lowest adjustment required to lift the Spike Bar just clear of
any fl oor covering, such as carpet.
Adjust levelling by screwing down the spike at the lowest
corner, using a spirit level to level with the highest opposing
corner. Then adjust of the opposing spikes to set the cabinet
level. The fourth spike should then be adjusted until no
rocking of the speaker can be felt.
Now, if required adjust the front or rear spikes as a pair to tilt
the speaker, up or down until the front baffl e is fi ring directly
at the listening position. Owing to our wide dispersion
Waveguide Tweeter, this is not critical but aesthetically, it
looks wrong if the two speakers are not level with each other.
Finally; Secure this position by tightening the lower Locking
Ring up to the underside of the spike bar.
