Fitting spikes

Use floor spikes on the floorstanding speakers, subwoofer and speaker stands, for an improvement in clarity of sound. The spikes can be used with pointed ends downward on carpets (fig 1), or domed end downwards on hard floors (fig 2). After levelling, make sure that the speakers are stable on their spikes, then tighten all lock nuts firmly.

Note that where more than four spikes are provided you may regard the extra spikes as an aid to stabilisation. Adjust the four main spikes first and then lower the extra spikes until they just touch the floor (fig 3).
