Section 7.0 - WATCH Dog Spikes
The WATCH Dog comes with a set of heavy duty spikes that provide acoustical
isolation as well as optimal height placement for your WATCH Dog. Brass disks that fit
beneath the spikes are included for installations where spikes might damage the floor
surface (such as wood floors).
After determining the WATCH Dog’s position, assemble the spikes as follows:
Assembly
1. Insert threaded bolts in the bolt holes in the front of the subwoofer until they
are flush with the inner surface visible through the acoustic port. Make sure
the Allen key end is facing downward.
2. Screw the acoustical diode onto the bolt until it fits snugly against the bot-
tom of the WATCH Dog. Do not overtighten.
4. Screw the spike (with nut) all the way in until it just touches the bolt. Do not
tighten the nut at this time.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with the other spikes.
6. Using a bubble level, adjust the spikes so that the WATCH Dog is level and
so that all of the spikes are making equal contact with the hard surface
beneath.
The spikes, installed properly, discouple the WATCH Dog from the floor, reduc-
ing resonances within the room. They also provide a stable platform for the WATCH
Dog to launch bass energy into the room. The result is cleaner, faster, more dynamic
bass, with improved extension and linearity.
