3. Adjust the turnbuckles so that they are all the same length and have the
same amount of threads showing at each end.
4. Install the turnbuckles using one ¼-20 x 1" Flat Head Bolt and flared 1/4"
Washer into the upright and one ¼-20 x 5/8" Flat Head Bolt and flared ¼"
Washer into the base through the corresponding holes in figure 2.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Sound Anchors Stands for Magnapans Loudspeakers are fastened to the speaker the same way
that the original tee stands that were supplied with the speakers are fastened. In fact, we even
use the same four screws.
1. Place a tablecloth, blanket, or towel on top of a table which has had all objects removed
from its surface. This surface will be used to assemble your system.
2. Set you speaker panel face down on your prepared surface with at least 1" of the
bottom edge of your panel extending beyond a table edge.
3. Fasten the stand to the speaker at the points, shown in figure 5, using the screws that
Magnapan supplied with your speakers. Tighten snugly but do not over tighten as over
tightening may damage the threaded inserts or screws.

This is the completed assembly of the
turnbuckles.

SETTING THEM UP
1. Place your speakers (which have been fastened to you stands) where
you will want them for listening.
2. Connect your cables according to your Magnapan manual.
3. Adjust the front two spikes so that your system is level side to side.
4. Adjust the turnbuckle so that your speakers are straight up vertically
(you may want to use a level or plumb bob to check)
5. Sit in your listening position and listen to some familiar music.
6. After you are satisfied that you have adjusted to the sound enlist a
friend to help adjust speaker angle.
7. From your listening chair direct your friend to change the angle of your
speakers by turning the turnbuckle 2 turns at a time. We have achieved
best results by tilting the panel forward 5 to 10 turns. As you tilt the
speaker forward, the image specificity and focus usually improves until
you get about 5 degrees forward tilt out of the system.
8. Make sure that both speakers have the same angle. You can do this by
measuring the overall length of the turnbuckles. When all four are the
same, the angles are the same. See figure 6
9. Sit back and enjoy.
