Monoprice MS-01 Silver Speaker Stand Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Monoprice MS-01 Silver Speaker Stand is designed to optimize the sound performance of your satellite speakers. Many small satellite speakers feature rear-firing ports to enhance bass response. For the best audio experience, it is recommended to position these speakers approximately 1-2 feet away from a wall, allowing the ports to function correctly. This floor stand set provides an ideal solution for placing your satellite speakers away from walls. The stands offer height adjustability from 26.8 inches to 43.3 inches, enabling you to position speakers at ear level when seated. Each stand can securely hold speakers weighing up to 5 lbs. Mounting options include a standard 1/4" x 20 mounting screw or a keyhole mount. Additionally, the stand tubes are hollow, facilitating discreet routing and concealment of speaker wires for a clean setup.

• Allows speakers with rear-firing ports to breathe freely for optimal sound.

Assembly & Installation

Follow these steps to assemble and install your Monoprice MS-01 Speaker Stands:

1. Base Assembly: Attach the main pole to the sturdy base. Ensure it is tightened securely to prevent wobbling.
2. Speaker Mounting Plate: Secure the speaker mounting plate to the top of the adjustable pole.
3. Speaker Attachment: Depending on your speaker type, use either the 1/4" x 20 mounting screw or the keyhole mount to attach your speaker to the plate. Ensure the speaker is firmly attached and stable.
4. Height Adjustment: Adjust the height of the stand to your desired listening level (between 26.8" and 43.3"). Lock the height adjustment mechanism firmly.
5. Cable Management: Route your speaker wires through the hollow tube of the stand for a clean and organized appearance. Ensure wires are not pinched.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled and your speakers are securely mounted, the Monoprice MS-01 Speaker Stands require minimal operation. The primary operational aspect is adjusting the height to achieve your preferred listening experience. Ensure the height adjustment knob is fully tightened after any changes to maintain stability.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the stands with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish.
• Stability Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain optimal stability.
• Cable Inspection: Ensure speaker cables routed through the stand are not frayed or damaged. Replace any damaged cables immediately.

Troubleshooting

• Stand Wobbles: Ensure all assembly screws, especially those connecting the pole to the base and the mounting plate, are securely tightened. Verify the height adjustment knob is fully engaged.
• Speaker Not Fitting: Confirm your speaker's weight does not exceed 5 lbs. Check if your speaker has a 1/4" x 20 threaded hole or a keyhole slot for compatibility. If not, alternative mounting solutions may be required (not included).
• Cables Visible/Pinched: Re-route cables carefully through the hollow tube. Ensure no sharp edges are pressing against the cable insulation.
