Attaching the Spikes to Floorstanding Models – 155, 156, 157, 159
· 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.
