Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your speaker stands, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the stands with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Cable Inspection: Check speaker cables for any signs of wear or damage, especially where they pass through the cable management hole. Replace damaged cables immediately.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your speaker stands, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stand feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose connections; uneven floor; overloaded. | Ensure all screws are tightened. Move to a flat surface. Verify speaker weight is within 11 lbs capacity. |
| Speaker does not attach securely. | Incorrect screw size; incompatible speaker hole type. | Use the correct screws and attachment method for your speaker (flat panel, inset, keyhole). Refer to the 'Setup and Assembly' section. |
| Height adjustment knob does not tighten. | Knob or threading is stripped/damaged. | Contact customer support for a replacement part. |
| Cables do not fit through the cable hole. | Cable is too thick. | The cable hole is 0.6" W x 1.2" H. If your cable is thicker, external cable management may be necessary. |
