Rubber Feet & Adjustable Floor Spikes
Rubber feet and adjustable floor spikes are included
with your LSiM floorstanding loudspeakers to anchor
and stabilize the speaker on any type of floor. However,
you may wish to tilt the speaker backwards or forward
a tiny bit in order to optimize your listening area. This
is a subtle change you can experience that optimizes
imaging in your setup.
To Adjust The Floor Spikes
The floor spikes can be adjusted with the use of the
supplied 5 mm hex (Allen) wrench. Most floorstanding
speakers are adjustable only from below and require
two hands. The LSiM floor spikes are adjustable
from above.
Note: If the speaker is stable on the floor, no adjustment
is necessary.
If the speaker is unstable, follow these steps:
1. The speaker will be inclined to settle on three of the
four spikes leaving one spike slightly off the floor.
2. Determine which spike needs to be adjusted.
3. Use the supplied hex wrench and turn it clockwise
to lower the spike or counterclockwise to raise it.
4. The threaded portion of the spike is coated with
a locking compound, so the spike may offer some
resistance when you turn it.
5. As the spike contacts the floor, it will become
more difficult to turn. At that point the speaker
should be stabilized.
