1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Audibax Neo 130 Professional Speaker Stands. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient setup, operation, and maintenance of your new speaker stands. Please read this manual thoroughly before use and retain it for future reference.
The Audibax Neo 130 speaker stands are designed to securely support speakers up to 30 kg (66.1 lbs), offering adjustable height from 120 cm to 180 cm. They feature a robust metal construction with a 35 mm tube diameter, compatible with most PA speakers.
2. Safety Instructions
To prevent injury or damage to your equipment, always observe the following safety precautions:
- Maximum Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 30 kg (66.1 lbs) per stand. Overloading can cause instability and collapse.
- Stable Surface: Always place the speaker stands on a flat, stable, and level surface. Uneven surfaces can lead to tipping.
- Leg Spread: Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and locked into position for maximum stability.
- Height Adjustment: When adjusting the height, ensure the safety pin is correctly inserted into the desired hole after setting the height. Always loosen the adjustment knob before lowering or raising the pole.
- Speaker Placement: Center the speaker securely on the stand's pole. Ensure the speaker's mounting hole is compatible with the 35 mm pole diameter.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the stands, especially during setup and adjustment.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the stands for any signs of damage, wear, or loose components. Do not use damaged stands.
- Transport: Use the provided carrying bag for safe transport to prevent damage to the stands and other equipment.

4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your Audibax Neo 130 speaker stands:
4.1 Unfolding the Stand
- Remove the speaker stand from the carrying bag.
- Place the stand on a flat, stable surface.
- Gently spread the three legs outwards until they are fully extended and the central support mechanism is locked. Ensure all legs are evenly spread for maximum stability.

4.2 Adjusting Height
- Locate the height adjustment knob and safety pin on the upper pole section.
- Remove the safety pin by pulling its ring.
- Loosen the adjustment knob by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Carefully raise or lower the upper pole to the desired height (between 120 cm and 180 cm).
- Once the desired height is reached, align the hole in the upper pole with one of the holes in the lower pole. Insert the safety pin through both holes to secure the height.
- Tighten the adjustment knob firmly by turning it clockwise to further secure the pole and prevent slippage.

4.3 Mounting the Speaker
- Ensure the stand is stable and the height is securely locked with both the safety pin and adjustment knob.
- Carefully lift your speaker and align its bottom mounting hole with the top of the stand's pole (35 mm diameter).
- Lower the speaker onto the pole, ensuring it sits firmly and is centered.
- Verify the speaker's stability before leaving it unattended.
5. Operating the Speaker Stands
Once set up, the Audibax Neo 130 speaker stands provide a stable platform for your speakers. Consider the following for optimal performance:
- Positioning: Place the stands in locations that optimize sound projection and minimize obstruction.
- Stability Check: Periodically check the stability of the stands and speakers, especially in high-traffic areas or after adjustments.
- Environmental Factors: Avoid placing stands in areas where they might be exposed to strong winds, vibrations, or excessive moisture, which could compromise stability.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your speaker stands:
- Cleaning: Wipe the stands with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the stands and store them in the provided nylon carrying bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all components, including the legs, poles, adjustment knobs, and safety pins, for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure all screws and bolts are tight.
- Lubrication: If the height adjustment mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the inner pole, avoiding contact with the adjustment knob's friction surfaces.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your speaker stands, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stand is unstable/wobbly. | Legs not fully extended or locked; uneven surface; overloaded. | Ensure legs are fully spread and locked. Move to a flat, level surface. Verify speaker weight does not exceed 30 kg. |
| Difficulty adjusting height. | Adjustment knob too tight; safety pin stuck; pole dirty/corroded. | Loosen adjustment knob completely. Ensure safety pin is fully removed. Clean and lubricate the inner pole if necessary. |
| Speaker does not fit on pole. | Speaker mounting hole is not 35 mm diameter. | Verify your speaker's mounting hole diameter. The Audibax Neo 130 is designed for 35 mm poles. Do not force the speaker. |
