Unpacking
Care must be taken at all times when handling the Gold W15 due to the extreme weight of the product. We recommend a two-
person lift wherever appropriate.
The feet/spike assemblies, 12v trigger cable and mains power cord/s are contained within the packaging and should be removed.
Please select the power cord appropriate to your Country/location. Mains voltage selection for 100-120 Vac or 220-240 Vac
operation is factory preset. Do not adjust.
To remove the Gold W15 from its carton, place some protective material on the floor and having removed any items of packing
from the top of the pack carefully lift the inner sleeve from the carton. (Also see icons on the carton). Remove fixing tape from the
bag and expose the base of the cabinet to allow fitting of the spiked feet into the threaded inserts as described below.
Spiked Foot Fixing For Carpeted Floors
The spiked foot assembly incorporates a spike for use on carpeted floors and also, a soft polymer pad (for use on wooden or tiled
floors).
Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet, or trailing mains leads that could be damaged by the spikes.
The foot comes fully assembled for use on carpeted floors. All that is required is fixing into the cabinet. This is achieved by simply
screwing the feet fully into the 4, threaded inserts in the underside of the cabinet. If your carpet has a very thick pile, remove the
soft polymer pad from the foot to ensure the spike goes right through the carpet onto the floor. With great care turn your cabinet
the right way up. Place the cabinet in your desired location, and check that it is level on all sides. If it is slightly uneven, unscrew
the foot at the lowest point and check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is fully level. Use the locking nut on the foot
to fix it in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.
Spiked Foot Fixing For Wooden/Hard Floors
For use on solid floors or where spikes are inappropriate, it is possible to use the foot without the spike insert. To use the foot in
this manner carefully grip the knurled portion of the spike and rotate anti clockwise to unscrew the spike fully.
You may find it easier to first remove the polymer pad to gain more purchase on the spike.
The pad should be replaced before carrying out the levelling operation previously described.
Positioning
The Gold W15 should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in the corner of a room as this may
cause excessive bass boom. Once a desirable position is achieved it is important to check if the cables are long enough to reach
comfortably without being under tension. Leave the Gold W15 unplugged until you are happy with it's location.
Never connect or disconnect any of the input connections with the Gold W15 switched on.
Optimal control settings will depend entirely on your system configuration, room and personal tastes.
