CHANGING THE FEET

ES80, ES90, ES100

The ES80, ES90 and ES100 feature attractive outboard feet, installed at the factory. However, if you would like to replace them with the less visible inboard feet (included), follow the instructions below.

1.Remove the four feet on the bottom of the speaker by loosening the two screws in each foot. Keep the screws for later use.

2.Attach the black inboard feet to the outer (closest to front of speaker for front feet, closest to rear of speaker for rear feet) holes, from which you just removed the feet, using the same screws you just removed.

3.Hand-tighten securely, using a handheld Phillips (+ tip) screwdriver. Do not use a powered screwdriver of any type.

4. Replace the screw in the inner hole.

CAUTION: Floorstanding (tower) loudspeakers have a high center of gravity and may become unstable and tip over during earthquakes, or if rocked, tipped or improperly positioned. If this is a concern, these speakers should be anchored to the wall behind them, using the same procedures and hardware customary for anchoring bookcases and wall units. The customer is responsible for proper installation and proper selection of hardware.

INSTALLING SPIKED FEET

ES80, ES90, ES100

Four metal spikes are supplied for use when using the outboard feet and the speaker is to be placed on a carpeted surface, to decouple the speaker from the floor and prevent unwanted damping. To insert the spikes, gently lay the speaker on its side (not its front or back) on a soft, nonabrasive surface. Each spike screws into the threaded insert in each outer foot. Make sure all four spikes are screwed in completely for stability.

NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the spikes, the feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. ALWAYS lift the speaker and carry it to its new location.

WALL-MOUNTING

ES10

The ES10 may be wall-mounted. The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores), to properly and safely wall-mount the speakers. THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR CEILING MOUNTING.

			Two no. 8 round-head or pan-
			head screws should be used per
			loudspeaker. The screw head
254mm (10")			should be between 5/16 inch
		3mm	(8mm) and 1/4 inch (6.3mm) in
	(1/8")		diameter, and the screw should
			be at least 2 inches (50mm) in
			length.

When installing screws in any wall, always use properly selected wall anchors. Attach two of the four self-adhesive rubber pads that came with the loudspeaker to the back of the enclosure in the two bottom corners so that the cabinet is spaced evenly from the wall. Select a suitable mounting location on a wall. (The ceiling is not a suitable mounting location.)

Drill two pilot holes, appropriately sized for the specific self-tapping screw or wall anchor that you will be using. The holes should be 10 inches (254mm) apart. The holes should be 3/4 inch (19mm) below where you want the top of the enclosure to be positioned. Use a carpenter’s level to ensure that the holes are even and that the speaker will mount on the level.

Install the two screws into either a wooden wall stud or anchor, and tighten them until the back of each screw head is about 1/8 inch (3mm) from the wall. Install the loudspeaker by slowly moving the cabinet toward the screws so that the screw heads clear the larger circular portion of the two keyholes. Once both screw heads have entered the keyholes, the loudspeaker should gently be lowered onto the screw shafts. Check that the loudspeaker is firmly locked onto the screws by gently pulling the speaker down and forward.
