Spikes and Feet

Select finishes are supplied with a foam gasket on the out-rigger, please ensure this side
is placed on the cabinet.

For Wooden/Hard Floors

(Silver 200, 300 and 500 only)
The feet and 'out-riggers' are supplied assembled for use on non-
carpeted, wooden or hard floors or where spikes are inappropriate.
All that is required is to fix them to the speaker base using the
supplied bolts (A & B).
You can check that the speaker is level on all sides by using a spirit
level. If it's slightly off-level, unscrew the foot at the lowest point and
check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is fully level.
Use the locking nuts on each foot to fix the feet in place and to stop
any unwanted vibrations.
For Carpeted Floors
(Silver 200, 300 and 500 only)
If the speaker is being installed on a carpeted floor, screw the spike
into the foot and 'out-rigger' assembly. Fix them to the speaker
base using the supplied bolts (A & B).
You can check that the speaker is level on all sides by using the
spirit level. If it's slightly off-level, unscrew the foot at the lowest
point and check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is
fully level. Use the locking nuts on each foot to fix the feet in place
and to stop any unwanted vibrations.
Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the
carpet that could be damaged by the spikes.

Setting Up

2 Channel Positioning

When arranging a 2 channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an equilateral
triangle. The speakers should be positioned approximately 6 - 10 feet (1.8 - 3m) apart. The ideal distance
from the rear wall varies depending on the speaker (see list below), however, they need to be a minimum of
3 feet (91cm) from the side walls.
• Silver 50
• Silver 100 & 200
• Silver 300 & Silver 500
NOTE: These are recommended distances for optimal performance. Actual results will vary dependant on
room size and construction.
Experimentation is strongly advised when initially setting up the speakers, as environment and personal
preference differ with every installation. If there is insufficient bass for example, try moving your speakers
closer to a wall. The opposite approach is recommended if there is excess bass. Also see the information
on page 7 referring to Port Bungs. If stereo imaging is being lost, try 'toeing' them in slightly. The
sound should appear to originate from the centre point between the speakers, not the actual speakers
themselves.
