SPIKE AND RUBBER FEET
LIst of items included in package (per speaker):
Spiked and rubber feet are to be used for bass decoupling
(reducing bass transmission) and should only be used when
plinth is on the bottom of the speaker. To install metal
spiked feet, you may place speaker on the floor on either
side. DO NOT place speaker front on floor, as this may
physically damage the tweeter guard and/or dome. First
thread ridged discs onto the metal spikes until flush. Follow
by threading both into the insert at the bottom corners of
the plinth. To level the speaker, height may be adjusted by
turning the spike section ONLY.
To avoid damage to floors other than carpet, the metal
spike can be used with protective ring as shown above on
the far right. Threaded rubber feet can be used on virtually
all surfaces. Installation is shown below.

ROOM POSITION
Placement of your floorstanding loudspeakers is a personal
preference, but it is recommended that speakers be placed at
least 6 feet apart whether they are being used for a stereo
application, or as the main left and right channels for a home
theater. For best imaging and separation, listening distance from
the speakers should be about 1.5 times the distance the speakers
are apart from each other.
Example: If the distance between each speaker and the listening
position is 9 feet, then the speakers should be 6 feet apart from
one another. Be sure that loudspeakers are placed at least 12
inches away from any wall. Further adjustments can be made to
optimize your listening experience.
AMPLIFICATION
Conventional amplification involves a single stereo amplifier
wired to a single set of binding posts with straps connecting the
second set of posts as seen in diagram above. Simply attach the
positive wire + to the red post, and the negative wire – to the
black post.
BI-AMPLIFICATION
This connection method (see diagram below) uses two separate
two channel amplifiers to power one set of speakers. One amplifier
is attached to one set of binding posts, and another identical
amplifier is attached to the other set of binding posts. This is
referred to as bi-amplification.
Be sure to remove the terminal
straps before using the bi-amplifi-
cation method. Connect positive
+ and negative – cables from the
amplifier to the top terminals,
and make sure the connection is
tight. Connect the second set of
cables (positive and negative) to
the bottom terminals and tighten.
Repeat these same steps using the
second amplifier to connect to
the second terminals.
NOTE: The Concord Floorstander has a single set of
binding posts, and this bi-amplification method is
not applicable.
CONNECTING YOUR
FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKERS
Both floorstanding loudspeakers have the same quality nick-
el-plated binding posts that will accommodate stripped wire,
spade connectors or banana plugs. Be
sure to use quality speaker cables, up
to 12 gauge (AWG). The lowest gauge
possible is recommended. Before using
banana plugs, be sure to remove the
black and red inserts on the binding
posts. The straps connecting the binding
posts should remain in place for conven-
tional wiring, but may be removed where
bi-wiring is preferred. See the following
diagrams in the AMPLIFICATION section
for further instruction.

PORT TUNING
If placing your floorstanding loudspeakers 6 inches or closer to a
wall, bass output can be controlled by reducing the amount of air
flow from rear ports. You can “tune” bass output by using the tuning
stops provided with your loudspeaker by inserting as shown.
NOTE: When moving
loudspeakers take extra
caution to place hands in a
position that will not
damage the drivers. This
can best be done by
placing one hand in the
port at the back of the
loudspeaker, and the other
hand at either top corner.
ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM TWEETER TO AVOID DAMAGE.
