In order to realise the full potential of your Caspian FR-5 Loudspeaker system, it is necessary to locate each of
the loudspeakers as rigidly as possible on the ground. Using the supplied set of spike feet, image stability,
transparency, definition and attack of the sound will improve as the loudspeakers are rigidly coupled to ground.
Three most common setups are described below.

If you have a carpeted floor on concrete, the spikes
should be used with their pointed end facing downwards,
piercing the carpet and making contact with the concrete
surface. Adjust the spikes so that the loudspeaker is level
with respect to the floor. (horizontally & vertically) Use the
supplied spirit level for accurate levelling of the FR-5
loudspeakers. Try to ensure that both loudspeakers are
aligned to more or less the same height. Check the
loudspeaker is not ‘rocking’ by pushing down on opposite
corners of the top of the loudspeaker. Adjust the
corresponding spike on the bottom to prevent any
‘rocking’. Once you are satisfied with the rigidity and level,
tighten up the lock-nuts.

The procedure for carpeted room with floor boards is the
same as for concrete floor. However, a more rigid
mounting can be achieved by the following procedure.
After the speaker has been on the carpet for a little while,
the spikes would make an impression on the surface of
the carpet. By carefully removing the loudspeaker from its
position without disturbing the spike impression on the
carpet, four ‘cross-head’ wood screws can be fitted, one in
each of these impressions. Remember to use large
enough size screws to ensure good final rigidity of the
loudspeaker cabinet relative to the floor boards.
Adjust the spikes and level the speakers as outlined
above.
NOTE:
Please note the screws should NOT be too long as
these could go through the floor board and cause
serious damage to any cable, structure or piping
under the floor boards. It is equally important to
ensure there are NO other items, electrical cables
etc. under the carpet where the spike positions are.

NOTE:
Please note there are NO items such as electrical
cables, piping etc. immediately under the
carpet/floor where the spike positions are.
