use &
guidelines
Setting up the Open Tower Speakers
The open Series of speakers is an open Bafe design. There is no box to add
colourations or enhance the sound. Therefore it is important to place the speakers
as far away from the back wall as possible. We suggest to use the rule of thirds.
Ensure the power is off, the volume at 0 or mute switch is on before connecting
your speakers or inputs.
In most cases the best sound will come from positioning your speakers against
the back walls with the long walls on the side.
1. If possible, Place the speaker approximately 1/3 of the way into the room.
2. Locate the spikes and install them on the base feet.
3. With the speakers in their desired position in the room, the spikes on the
base feet, you are now ready to level the speakers. Adjust the adjustable
spike feet by turning the dials located above each one of the spike feet until
the speaker is level. PLEASE NOTE: Open Bafe speakers perform best
when positioned 1/3 into the room. If this is not possible, try 1/6 of the room.
We strongly suggest you use a laser measure for accurate placements.
See Figure 1.

Our Bamboo Design
We have selected bamboo to construct many of the structural parts of our
systems rather than metal or plastic.
The sonic virtues of bamboo are evident. We use the latest CNC machinery to
manufacture to precise tolerances. Due to the nature of the material, there may
be slight variations that do not comprise the sound. Every component is hand
nished and then inspected by the designer before it leaves the factory.
Crafted with bamboo and natural sheep’s wool.
