Screw in the feet with locking ring attached, with either the spikes or rubber tips outermost, according to the type of floor surface. Leave the tips of the feet protruding beyond the inner packing pieces for clearance when the speaker is upright.
After rolling the cabinet onto its feet and lifting off the carton, remove the inner packing and adjust the feet as described in section 3.3
fContinue to section 3.3.
3.3ADJUSTING THE FEET
The threaded bosses that hold the feet have a large conical shape on one side of the flange. For maximum height, fit the bosses with the conical shape towards the floor. (figure 21) For minimum height, have them pointing into the speaker. (figure 22)
Screw in the feet close to where you think the final adjustment will be, with the spikes or the rubber ends outermost as appropriate to the floor surface. If you do not intend to tilt the speakers, orient the bosses with the cones inwards and leave just enough thread exposed to fit the locking rings. Fit, but do not tighten the locking rings.
Stand the speaker upright and adjust the feet using the metal bar provided to give the amount of tilt required and to take up any rocking. (figure 23)
Finally, tighten the locking ring against the boss, again using the metal bar. (figure 24)

3.4803D/803S/804S
For best performance, screw the adjustable feet into the threaded inserts in the base of the speaker as appropriate
–spikes for carpets or clear rubber for wooden and other vulnerable floors. (figure 25)
Lay the speaker down on its side (to avoid possible damage to terminals or drive unit diaphragms). Remove rings and other jewellery to avoid scratching the surfaces and provide a soft surface such as a piece of carpet that the speaker can lie on.
Screw the lock nuts fully onto the feet and the feet fully into the base. (figure 25)
Stand the speaker upright and adjust the feet to take up any rocking.
Finally, tighten the locking rings against the threaded inserts. (figure 26)

3.5 805S/HTM2D/HTM3S/HTM4S
These systems should be mounted on a firm shelf or stand that allows the sound to be properly directed to the listeners.
For the 805S, we recommend the use of the FS-N805 stand that supports the speaker at the correct listening height.
For the HTM2D, HTM3S and HTM4S, the FS-NHTM stand supports these centre speakers low down so that the top of the speaker is no higher than 60cm (2 ft) from the floor, commensurate with positioning them below a large screen. The stand allows the speaker to be tilted back by 0º, 4º or 8º.
Follow the instructions supplied with the stand in each case.
When mounting the speakers on a bookshelf, stick the 4 self-adhesive rubber feet to the base of the speaker. (figure 27)
fGo to section 4.
The speaker is designed to be fixed to a wall and is supplied with a bracket that allows adjustment of both horizontal and vertical angles. (figure 29) The bracket should be fixed to the wall using screws in the range 5mm to 6mm diameter (No.10 to No.12). The screw length should be chosen to give a minimum of 25mm (1 in) engaged thread. (figure 28)
Hold the template provided against the wall in the desired position and use a spirit level to line it up properly. The outside dimensions of the template correspond to the rear of the cabinet. Note especially that the centre of the wall plate does not coincide with the centre line of the speaker.
Mark the fixing holes on the wall and drill and plug the wall.
Ensure that the screw length and wall plug security are sufficient to hold the weight of the speaker. When fixing to drywall construction, try to arrange for the screws to go into a stud. B&W can accept no liability for any failure of wall or ceiling fixings.
Screw the wall plate D to the wall and test the firmness.
Part screw two of the supplied machine screws into the upper two threaded inserts in the back of the cabinet.
Offer the speaker up to the speaker plate E, locating the two screw projecting from the back of the speaker into the slots at the top of the plate.
Fit the remaining two machine screws through the plate E into the lower
threaded inserts in the cabinet and tighten all four.
Set the vertical angle of the speaker by adjusting screw B.
Fully tighten screw A.
Adjust screws C so that the friction of the three vertical hinges allows you to adjust the bracket but hold it in place once set.
Connect the speakers as described in section 4 before continuing.
Set the required horizontal angle and push the speaker back to the wall, but leave a little clearance to avoid rattles.
fGo to section 4.
The speakers may be fixed to a wall or ceiling using screws in the range 5mm to 6mm diameter (No.10 to No.12).
On the back of the cabinet are three wall plates. The screw head should be inserted into the round part of the aperture and slid fully along one of the slots. The slots are sprung loaded to prevent the speaker being readily knocked out of position. The screw length should be chosen to give a minimum of 25mm (1 in) engaged thread. (figure 28)
Ensure, especially when fixing to drywall panels, that the screw length and wall plug security are sufficient to hold the weight of the speaker. B&W can accept no liability for any failure of wall or ceiling fixings.
Use the template provided to mark the screw positions. The outside dimensions of the template correspond to the rear of the cabinet.
Stick 4 of the clear self-adhesive rubber pads to the rear panel of each speaker, one close to each corner. These stop the speaker vibrating against the surface and help keep it in position. (figure 30)
Adjust the protrusion of the screws such that the rubber pads are a friction slide on the surface when the wall plates are hooked over the screw heads. (figure 31)
Always check and ensure that:
•All the screws slide right to the ends of the slots in the wall plates.
•Screw protrusion is adjusted so that the rubber pads provide enough friction to prevent the speakers sliding out of position.
