Some manufacturers forbid the placing of objects on top of their TV sets. Check your TV handbook before installing the speaker directly on your

Unpacking Your Loudspeaker

Diamond 100 loudspeakers come in different shapes and sizes. If you are unpacking a floor stander, please remember that these units are heavy. 

We suggest that you have someone to assist you.

·

  Make sure you have plenty of unobstructed working space.

· 

Place a soft cloth on the floor to protect the loudspeaker.

· 

Invert the loudspeaker onto the cloth.

· 

Thread a locknut onto each spike and loosely rub it up the thread.

· 

Thread the spikes into the spike inserts. Tighten them finger tight.

· 

Invert the loudspeaker. Be careful not to damage the floor with the spikes.

Levelling the Loudspeakers

When the speaker is upright: You will probably find that the speaker will wobble with one spike not contacting the floor. Adjust this spike until 
all four spikes are in contact to the floor.
With the aid of a spirit level move each spike in and out until the loudspeaker is level and sitting squarely on all four 

spikes without rocking.
Now tighten each locknut securely against the collar in the plinth to secure the spike.

Screw in rubber feet are provided for use on wood or stone floors etc. and should be attached in the same manner as the 

spikes.
