Operating and Placement

The SANUS speaker stand is designed to optimize the audio performance of your Sonos Five or Play:5 by positioning it at the ideal listening height. Consider the following for best results:

• Optimal Height: The stand places your speaker at approximately 31 inches (79 cm) from the floor, which is generally considered the optimal ear level for seated listening.
• Orientation: Your Sonos Five or Play:5 can be placed in either vertical or horizontal orientation on the stand. Refer to your Sonos speaker's manual for specific recommendations regarding sound dispersion based on orientation.
• Stereo Pairing & Surround Sound: For stereo pairing or surround sound configurations, ensure both stands are placed symmetrically relative to your primary listening position and other audio components.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your speaker stand, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the anodized finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
