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).
