Section 3.2—Leveling the Sasha DAW

1.  Place a level on the left to right oriented axis in the flat area 

atop the woofer behind the Upper Module. If it is level, move 
to the next step.

2.  You may rotate the spike tips in place by hand..

3.  Lengthen the appropriate spike or spikes (not the Woofer Mod-

ule Spike diode on the set screw) on that lower side until the 
Sasha DAW is level. 

4.  If the speaker is leaning to the left, lengthen both Woofer Mod-

ule spikes on the right hand side of the speaker. If the speaker 
is leaning right, lengthen the left hand spikes. Lengthen the 
spikes incrementally, checking and rechecking the level until 
the Sasha DAW is level left to right. 

5.  Place a level on the front to back oriented axis. If it is level, 

then Sasha DAW is level. If the Sasha DAW is leaning one way or 
the other, following the same process as above, lengthen the 
appropriate spikes on the front or rear of the Woofer Module 
until the Sasha DAW is level. 

6.  To find out which spike to lower, grasp the Sasha DAW channel 

and gently rock it back and forth. This will identify the spike 

that is out of level from the other three. If there is movement, 
lengthen the appropriate spike until the Sasha DAW sits solid-
ly on the floor. Make sure the spike is penetrating the carpet 
surface and is resting on the solid floor beneath. 

7.  Once all adjustments have been made, with the 3/4” wrench 

provided, tighten the nut on the spike to the diode. DO NOT 
OVERTIGHTEN! “Snug” is tight enough.

Section 3.3—Removing the Protective Film

To protect the finish of the Sasha DAW during final manufacture, ship-

ment, and setup in your listening room, we have applied a removable layer of 

protective film over the finish. We recommend that this film be left in place until 

the speakers are in their final location in your listening room. Once you have 

determined their final position, remove the film by following this procedure:

1.  Ensure the speaker surface is room temperature before remov-

ing the protective film. Removing the protective film when the 
speaker surface is cold can damage the paint surface. 

2.  Slowly remove the film from the top down, large sections at a 

time, gently pulling the film downward and outward. Tearing 
the film aggressively can damage the paint.

3.  Take care in removing the protective film near edges and cor-
