Audio Note AN Speaker Stands - Manual (Page 9)

STEP 9:
Add a locking nut to each spike.
Screw the spike / nut assemblies into the
four threaded bolt holes located in the
corners of the base plate. Insert the spikes
FROM BELOW, so that the locking nut is
UNDERNEATH the base plate.
Place the stand in its final position, and
level it (using a spirit level positioned on the
top plate) by adjusting the four spikes,
making sure that all four are contacting with
the floor and that the stand does not ʻrockʼ
or ʻwobbleʼ.
Lock the spike in position with the lower
locking nut, and finally screw a dome nut
onto the top of each spike.
ʻFinger tightʼ is usually enough, but feel free
to use an appropriately sized pair of
spanners / wrenches to lock the nuts in
place.
STEP 10:
Place a small ʻpeaʼ sized ball of Blu-Tack in
the four corners of the top plate (as shown
in
RED in the image to the left) and carefully
lower the AN-E on to the stand. Gently and
firmly press the loudspeaker down on to the
stand, compressing the Blu-Tack. This will
firmly and securely anchor the AN-E to the
stand.
STEP 11:
Repeat all of the above steps for the second
stand.
