INSTALLATION

Back

Step 1: Lay the Ultima Gem®2 pedestal
down, face up, on a soft non-scratch
surface.

Step 2: Find and remove the four Phillips
pan-head screws from the accessories
bag that was removed from the end pad
during the unpacking procedure.

Step 3: Remove the wall mount bracket from the
loudspeaker accessories kit. This bracket is the
matching half of the bracket that is installed on the
back of the loudspeaker.

Step 4: Place the bracket flat against the front of
the inset area of the pedestal, so that the screw
holes line up between the pedestal and the
bracket. Be sure to position the bracket so that the
out-thrust tabs are on the bottom end. These are
the stops that keep the speaker from sliding off the

2 loudspeaker onto the pedestal.

Install the spikes/glides:

1. Select the appropriate end of
the spikes/glides depending on
your surface. If the speaker is to
be used on a hardwood floor or
smooth surface use the glide
end of the spike.

2. Locate the four threaded insets
on the bottom of the pedestal.

3. Screw the first spike into the threaded insert, mak­ing sure to include the locking ring & felt washer in
the order shown.

4. Repeat Step 3 with each of
the other spikes and threaded
insets. Make sure the spikes
are evenly threaded to
achieve a level balance.

the felt washers and knurled locking rings to the
bottom of the pedestal. Hand-tighten the spikes
firmly, but do NOT over-tighten.

Step 10: The loudspeaker can now
be installed onto the pedestal.

If the wires have enough play,
stand the pedestal back onto its
base and slide the loudspeaker
onto the bracket from above, as
shown. Make sure the brackets are
firmly mated before releasing the
loudspeaker.

If the wires do not have enough
play to allow the pedestal to be
righted, slide the speaker sideways
from the top of the pedestal and
over the bracket. Make sure that
the brackets are firmly mated
