'Take the time to find the right speaker locations for your listening room.'

1] Attach the plastic feet (e) to the corners of the base with the small pan head bolts (f). Photo 2-Group two pillars with each base. Align the holes in the base with the holes in the isolation block (a). Bolt the pillars and the base together with the isolation block between them using the large pan head bolts (b) and lock washers (c). Photo 3-Using the wire guide is optional.

2] Adhere the two inch self-adhesive damping washers (l) to the flush side of each top plate. The damping washers will be set in between the top plate and the pillars. (Optional: You may fill the pillars with sand or shot at this time.) Align the holes in the top plate with corresponding holes in the top of each pillar. Bolt the pillars and the top plate together using the flat head bolts (n). Photo 4-The wire guide (m) is optional.
3] Both spiked feet (g) and rubber feet (d) are provided for your Steel Foundations®. The spiked feet are preferable in terms of performance. Thread a machine nut (h) over the spiked feet and thread the ends of the spiked feet into the threaded inserts in the corner feet. Adjust the spiked feet until the stand is level and then lock into

place by tightening the machine nut. Use of the spiked feet is optional.* The rubber feet are provided as an alternative.

4] Three forms of speaker mounts are provided, steel speaker studs (j), rubber pads (d) and the new Foundation MountTM (k) which is discussed in the next section. To utilize the steel speaker studs, thread them into the holes in the corners of the top plates until the end

protrudes slightly through the bottom. Place the speaker on the steel speaker studs. Photo 5-Next, insert the small allen key (i) into the bottom of each steel speaker stud and adjust them until the speaker is level. Lock the studs in place with a machine nut (h). Use of the steel speaker studs is optional.* The rubber isolation pads are provided as an alternative and may be threaded into the corners of the top plates.

5] Many manufacturers are providing threaded inserts on the bottom of their speakers

for the Foundation Mount™ system. This system allows you to bolt your speaker to the top plate using 5/8'' speaker bolts provided. This provides significant safety benefits when used in earthquake areas or around pets and children. It also offers maximum resonance dampening characteristics. The neoprene isolation pads should be placed between the top plate and the speaker to provide superior damping and prevent damage to the speaker. Do not use the steel speaker studs when bolt mounting.

*NOTE: The ends of the spiked feet and steel speaker studs are very sharp and may scratch floors or furniture. All sharp objects can be hazardous to children. For this reason large rubber feet and rubber isolation pads are provided as an option. Sanus Systems will not be liable for damage or injury.

Every effort has been made to ensure that your stands are perfect. If you have any questions or feel that there is a problem of any kind, please call our Customer Assistance number. We can assist with questions or damaged/missing parts. Sanus Customer Assistance [phone]
