Usage & Installation Notes
These stands are ideal for elevating bookshelf or satellite speakers in both stereo and surround setups.
The 425 mm height brings many bookshelf speaker tweeters close to seated ear level in typical rooms.
Heavier speakers or those with stronger bass response will benefit from the Stratocell-filled tubes for resonance control.
Use the spikes and floor protection discs to ensure stability, especially on soft flooring.
Apply Pata-fix adhesive or similar to top plate to prevent speaker shift during operation.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe the steel / metal parts with a dry microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
Clean MDF top plate surfaces with lightly damp cloth followed by drying.
Periodically verify that spikes and plate screws are tight, especially if moved.
Keep the stands level and use floor discs to protect delicate floors from spike damage.
