INSTALLING THE GRILL COVERS

To install this speaker’s magnetic grill covers simply move them into place (Fig. 6).

SOLID FOOTING

With the use of the included spikes, your speakers will be firmly planted on the floor, bass will tighten, and imaging will become more coherent. To avoid floor damage, do not implement the spikes until you are secure in the positioning. The included spikes use a standard 1/4 - 20 thread.

Spike Installation Instructions (Fig. 7):

1)Carefully lay your speaker on its side.

2)Remove existing feet or spikes. Thread new spikes into holes and screw them in all of the way. If the speaker does not sit level loosen one spike until level is achieved.

3)Tighten the jam nut snugly by hand. Do not over tighten the nut.

4)Right the speaker. Caution: Make sure your hands and any cabling are clear of the spikes. Do not slide speaker as spikes are sharp and can damage your floor or carpet.

5)Adjust to level by rotating spikes. Tighten the jam nut securely when satisfied that speaker is level. Caution: “Walking” the speaker may result in a broken spike.
