Basic Assembly Instructions:
- With the upper plate flat side down, drop left and right levers over center of castellated tabs on pivot points. Note the mirror images attached. Also, the opening on one side of the lever is slightly larger than the other. This is a taper to allow for easy fit over the tabs. Insert through the large opening :)
- Flip over upper plate and 2-lever assembly. With the levers in the open position and the base flat-side down on a hard surface (the floor or sturdy table), straddle the ball of the base pedestal with the opening of the upper plate socket. Give the upper plate a nice hard smack downward so that the ball pops into the socket.
- Rotate the levers a few times to smoothen the cam-to-flat contacting surfaces. It should quite a bit of resistance to rotate them into the close position. You can add a little grease/lube between the cams of the levers and the flat contacting surface. DO NOT add lubrication to the swiveling ball joint! You want this joint as dry as possible. Wipe it with some IPA before install if you handle it too much.
- Place the stand in the desire listening position. Then place the speaker on top of the upper plate. With levers in the open or half-open position now. Adjust the orientation of the speaker, rotate the levers forward to lock it into place.
General Notes: We recommend using PETG. But PLA, ABS, and ASA are perfectly fine too. Keep in mind that the surfaces making contact between the pedestal ball and the upper plate socket are subject to wear. After all, it's just plastic. The levers are there to add a little extra clamp force and increase the static friction force. Try to make all adjustments with the levers open. You can adjust the orientation of the speaker with the levers in the closed position. But, do so sparingly as this will reduce the holding power of your swivel joint in the future.
Pro-Tip: Get some foam rubber pads with adhesive on one side to stick to the bottom of the base!
