in the same manner as described above for the P-38F and P-37F. There is a third spike seat for use with either of the two rear spikes. The long-barrel rear spike should be used in applications where the speaker needs to be positioned either flat or with a degree of downward tilt. The short-barrel rear spike should be used in applications where the speaker needs to be positioned with a degree of upward tilt. This will often be the case in installations where the speaker is placed below a large projection screen.

Method: Run the knurled collar halfway down the threaded shaft away from the spike point. Insert the shaft into the plinth and screw in tight. Now run the collar up to the plinth and lock it finger tight. Repeat for all four spikes.

Hint: If you feel that you may have to move the speakers around a lot before you get them exactly right, it is advisable to start out with the spikes resting in their spike seats. This will allow you to easily slide the speakers on a hard floor surface After finalizing the speaker position, you can then mark the position of the feet and remove the spike seats.

Dressing the Cables

If there is more than one cable to each loudspeaker, gather them and lay them side by side. Make sure you have identification on all the cables. Ensure the cables are connected the same way all around with no loose or faulty connections.

Leveling the Loudspeakers

If the floor is not perfectly level, you will find that one spike is off the ground. Starting with this spike and with the help of a spirit level, you should now adjust the spikes so the speakers do not wobble and are not at an angle. Try to get the speakers to the same height, if at all possible.

Final Connections

Now, connect the loudspeakers to the amplifier/s using the diagrams on pages 8-11 to help you.

You are now ready to enjoy your music!
