Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Wharfedale Linton Speaker Stands:

Operating Instructions

These stands are designed specifically for Wharfedale Linton speakers. For optimal acoustic performance and safety, follow these guidelines:

• Speaker Placement: Carefully lift your Wharfedale Linton speakers and place them centrally on the top plate of each stand. Ensure the speakers are stable and do not overhang the edges.
• Leveling: Use the adjustable feet/spikes to level the stands on uneven surfaces. This is crucial for stability and sound quality.
• Cable Management: Route speaker cables neatly to prevent tripping hazards and maintain a clean aesthetic.
• Stability Check: Periodically check that the stands remain stable and that all screws are tight.

Maintenance

To keep your speaker stands in excellent condition:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Wood Care: The mahogany finish can be maintained with furniture polish suitable for wood, applied sparingly as per the polish manufacturer's instructions.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the stands for any loose screws or signs of wear. Tighten screws as necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, consider the following:

• Instability/Wobbling:
  • Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened.
  • Adjust the leveling feet/spikes to ensure all four points of contact are firmly on the floor.
  • Verify the floor surface is even.
• Scratches on Floor:
  • If using spikes on hard floors, ensure protective pads are used underneath. Consider switching to rubber feet if available.
