RXR AUDIO STAND

The Foundation of Great System Performance

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Harmonic Resolution Systems, Inc. (HRS) RXR
Audio Stand. When used properly, it will give you many years of superior musical
or video signal reproduction.

The RXR Audio Stand significantly reduces the negative impact of structure-borne
noise on your audio or video component performance. Decades of engineering
experience, custom material development, and listening tests are incorporated
into the design of the RXR Audio Stand. This high performance product from
Harmonic Resolution Systems, Inc. will enable your audio/video source and
amplification components to achieve high levels of performance.

The RXR Audio Stand, which includes the HRS Isolation Base as the primary shelf
system, is a perfect match for the HRS Damping Plates and Nimbus Products.
While the RXR Audio Stand and Isolation Bases work to significantly reduce
structure-borne noise, the HRS Damping Plates and Nimbus Products
significantly reduce the harmful effects of air-borne noise and structural
resonance on your components.

Please read this manual completely prior to assembly and use of your RXR Audio
Stand. It contains instructions necessary for proper assembly, use, and care of
this system. Proper care of your RXR Audio Stand will ensure optimum
performance and an aesthetically appealing system.

Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT WARNINGS!

Do not place any tall objects on the top shelf of the RXR Audio Stand. A tall
object is any object with a height that is greater than the length of the isolation
base. A tall object is also any object that has a height greater than its own width
or length. Tall objects must not be placed on top of the RXR Audio Stand for any
reason. The object may become unstable and tip over causing damage to the
component, adjacent objects, or injury to people.

Never lift or move the RXR Audio Stand with the shelves (Isolation Bases)
installed. You should always move the RXR Audio Stand frame to its final
location prior to loading shelves and components. Moving the RXR Audio Stand
frame with the isolation bases installed (with or without equipment) can
permanently damage the frame system or cause the shelves to fall out of the rack
resulting in potential damage or injury. Always take the time to remove all of the
equipment and shelves to relocate the RXR Audio Stand.

Do not lift the isolation base (shelf) by the inner plate (M3, M3X model) or the
external feet attached to the bottom of the rectangular frame. Always lift or move
the isolation base with the inner plate facing up and the external support feet
facing down (same orientation as when used to support your component).
Always follow these handling instructions to prevent personal injury or damage
to the unit.

Setup Instructions

The RXR Audio Stand consists of a frame structure and isolation bases that
support each component. The components required to assemble the frame are
shipped in one or more boxes. The number of boxes depends on the system size.
Each box containing parts for the frame will be marked with the model number
starting with RXR. All the wrenches required to put the frame together are
included with the shipment.

Work Surface - Prior to unpacking any material, locate a very strong and very
stable work surface (capable of supporting 250 lb. load) or an area on the floor
that will give you a very soft scratch resistant work area that is at least three feet
by three feet in size. The more space you have the better, as it will give you room
to move around the frame to complete assembly. It is important that the area be
free of all dirt, screws or small pebbles, and that it is covered with a clean soft
protective blanket of same size that will prevent damage to high quality finish on
the frame.

Unpacking Assembly Hardware - Remove all the contents from all the boxes
marked with RXR model number. Place all the hardware on a table adjacent to
your selected work surface and remove all the wrapping material. Be careful not
to drop or allow any of the parts to contact each other as they may scratch the
surface. Do not stack the parts on top of each other once they are removed from
the protective packaging material. To make assembly easier, group identical
parts together in an organized manner. Make sure all RXR Primary Supports are
the same size; also check that the RXR Side Rails and RXR Center Rail if needed
are the correct length.

This audio stand will be assembled on its side. Depending on what frame
configuration you have purchased there may be a number of Primary Supports
that have threaded studs already attached. Do not try to remove these threaded
studs as they are attached to the frame. These Primary Supports with threads will
be the bottom of the audio stand.

Step 1. Your stand might be fully assembled. If so, skip to Step 7 and proceed.

To start assembling the RXR Audio Stand, locate one of the RXR Side Rails.
Place it with the side that contains the small threaded holes facing up. Take one
of the RXR Primary Supports without the threaded inserts and place it at the top
of Side Rail. The top of the Side Rail is the end that has a wooden cap on it. At the
top end all you see is wood; at the bottom end you will see two threaded inserts).
(See Picture 1.)

Picture 1.

Put two of the ¼”-20 x 1” button head fastener with one ¼” flat washers on each
of the screws in two holes that are diagonal from each other on the Primary
Support. Carefully with the fasteners sticking out through the support, line them
up with the corresponding holes of the Side Rail. The top Primary Support should
be just about level with the top of the Side Rail. (See Picture 2.) Only place two
fasteners in each side of the Primary Supports during the initial assembly of the
stand, the rest will be added in later.

Step 2. The Primary Support with threaded inserts will be the bottom of the

stand. (Take notice that each of the Primary Supports has two shallow grooves on
one side, these grooves are to indicate the front of the RXR Audio Stand. As the
stand is assembled every Primary Support should have these grooves facing the
same direction.) Attach the bottom Primary Support just as in Step 1. The Side
Rail will sit about ¼” up from the bottom of the Primary Support. (See Picture 3.)

Step 3. Once the top and bottom Primary Supports are in place, it is time to

place the rest of the Primary Supports that go between them. Picture 4 shows the
stand with the top and bottom Primary Supports attached to the Side Rail.
