705 S3 / 706 S3 / 707 S3

The 705 S3, 706 S3 and 707 S3 are primarily designed to be

mounted on a dedicated floor stand (FS-700 S3), but may be

placed on a shelf if preferred. However, it should be noted that

this offers less flexibility to optimise the speaker’s performance.

If shelf placement must be used, we recommend using the foam
plugs (supplied) to optimise port performance (see Section 4:
Fine-Tuning).

In both installation cases, the speakers’ tweeters should be
approximately at ear height at your usual listening position.

Note: If using a shelf, ensure that it is strong enough to
properly support the weight and fit the four self-adhesive
rubber feet to the underside of the speaker.

Important Safety Notice

Sharp spikes, do not touch.

The spike feet are designed to pierce carpet and rest on the

floor surface. Initially, screw the lock nuts onto the spikes just
far enough to leave the nuts floating just above the carpet when
the spikes are resting on the floor beneath. Then, screw the

spikes fully into the threaded inserts in the plinth. If the cabinet

rocks when placed on the floor, unscrew the two spikes that do
not touch the floor until the cabinet rests firmly without rocking.

Finally, lock the nuts against the base by using the supplied
spanner to gently tighten the nut whilst using the supplied tommy
bar to stop the spike foot rotating. It may be more convenient to

fit and adjust the spike feet after speaker positioning has been

optimised.

If there is no carpet and you wish to avoid scratching the floor

surface, use either a protective metal disc (a coin perhaps)

between the spike and the floor, or use the supplied rubber feet.

Fit the rubber feet and level the cabinet in the same manner as
with the spike feet.
