- Adjustments: When adjusting the height, ensure the safety pin is properly inserted and the locking knob is securely tightened.
- Placement: Position the stand away from high-traffic areas to prevent accidental knocking.

4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble and set up your speaker stand:
- Unfold the Legs: Place the stand on a flat surface. Gently pull the legs outwards until they are fully extended and the base spread diameter is stable. Ensure the leg brace is locked.
- Adjust Base Spread: The base spread diameter can be adjusted from 39 to 60 inches (98 to 152 cm) for optimal stability. A wider spread provides greater stability.
- Adjust Height: Loosen the locking knob on the main pole. Carefully raise or lower the upper pole to the desired height. The stand is height-adjustable from 47.24 inches (120 cm) to 70.87 inches (180 cm).
- Insert Safety Pin: Once the desired height is reached, align the holes in the upper and lower poles and insert the safety pin completely through both holes.
- Secure Locking Knob: Tighten the locking knob firmly to secure the upper pole in place. The safety pin acts as a secondary lock.
- Place Speaker: Carefully place your speaker onto the top mounting pole of the stand. Ensure the speaker is centered and stable.
