OVATOR S-600 – English
2.3 Using Floor-spikes
The Ovator is fitted with floor-spikes to define its
mechanical interface with the structure of the listening
room. The floor-spikes should be adjusted to ensure that
the speakers are upright and do not rock.
All four floor-spikes are adjustable, however adjustment
of the rear floor-spikes is easier thanks to the top access
provided by the Ovator plinth design. To adjust a rear floor-
spike first remove the locking set-screw with the 4mm Allen
key supplied. Then insert the Allen key from above to turn
the adjustment screw clockwise to lengthen the floor-spike
2.4 Adjusting Floor-spikes
and anti-clockwise to shorten the floor-spike. If necessary,
to stop the floor-spike from turning when re-tightening the
locking set-screw, insert the supplied tommy-bar in the
floor-spike through-hole. Diagram 2.4 illustrates rear floor-
spike adjustment.
Depending on the thickness of any carpet, the front
floor-spikes may not need any adjustment. If adjustment
is required however, loosen the lock nut using a 13mm
spanner and turn the floor-spike as appropriate using the
supplied tommy-bar inserted in the floor-spike through-
hole. Re-tighten the lock-nut when adjustment is complete.
Diagram 2.4 illustrates front floor-spike adjustment.
Note:
If Ovator loudspeakers are
to be installed on a non-carpeted
floor, the floor-spikes should be
used in conjunction with Naim Floor
Protectors and adjusted so that the
tip of the floor-spike extends just
beyond the lock nut. Your Naim
retailer or distributor will be able to
supply Floor Protectors.

2.5 BMR Transit Screws
The Ovator BMR (balanced mode radiator) module is fitted
with a twin leaf-spring suspension system. The suspension
system is restrained during shipping by two transit screws
that must be released before use. The transit screws are
located on the rear face of the speaker directly behind
the BMR.
Use the supplied 5mm Allen key to unscrew the transit
screws. Remove the screws and store them safely. Diagram
2.6 illustrates removal of the transit screws.
Note:
The transit screws must be replaced if the
loudspeakers are to be repacked and shipped. Tighten the
screws sufficiently to restrain the suspension system.
