Levelling
All components in the AKURATE speaker system benefit from levelling, which produces distinct improvements in soundstage and accuracy. A properly levelled loudspeaker will always perform more effectively than an unstable one. The actual loudspeaker cabinet can remain fixed whilst the drive units are allowed to move as precisely determined by the playback signal from the amplifier. Adjustable spikes or feet enable levelling on uneven floors, however these adjustments are subtle and will not compensate for excessively irregular floors.
Spikes are supplied with the AKURATE 242 speakers and the stand for the AKURATE 225 and 212 speakers.
The procedure for levelling each speaker should be as follows:
●Use a spirit level on the top of the speaker to check if it is sitting level. If it is, gently rock the speaker from front to back, side to side and diagonally to check for any movement. If none is present and the speaker is sitting level, no adjustment to the spikes is necessary.
●If the speaker is not level, or moves when you rock it, loosen the appropriate lock nuts using the tool provided (1) and use a screwdriver to turn the spikes to adjust their height (2).

●Press down firmly on the top of the speaker to ensure it is in close contact with your flooring.
●Use the spirit level as before and continue to adjust the spikes as required.
●When the speaker is level and does not rock, use the screwdriver to hold the spikes in place and tighten the lock nuts using the tool provided (3).

Note:
To protect wooden or tiled floors the spikes can be placed on Linn SKEETS which are available from your Linn retailer.
