INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR

NATURAL FOUNDATIONS®

The job of the speaker stand is to raise the loudspeaker to ear height. When this is done correctly, most aspects of the listening experience benefit. Bass is tighter, mids and highs are clearer, and imaging detail improves. Taking your speakers off your Foundations and listening to them on the floor for a few minutes quickly demonstrates the importance of speaker mounting and positioning.

The speaker stand needs to be competent in many areas in order for your loudspeakers to achieve optimum performance. Well engineered speaker stands like Natural Foundations® rigidly hold speakers perfectly still and are free from resonance and diffraction problems. When set up correctly, Natural Foundations® will greatly enhance your audio video system’s acoustic performance and visual appeal.

Where you locate your speakers in your listening room will greatly affect sound quality. All speakers are placement sensitive; moving them a few inches can noticeably change the sound. Take the time to find the ideal speaker locations for your room. The easiest way to find the optimum speaker locations is with educated trial and error. Your Sanus trained audio consultant can get you started in the right direction, but in the end you need to trust your ears. Happy Listening!

1] Remove all parts from package. Damaged or missing parts can be quickly obtained by contacting Sanus Customer Service at [phone] or www.sanus.com.

2] Group each top plate and base with a pillar. The rounded edge of the pillar faces forward. The speaker cable hole in the base and the bolt mounting hole in the top plate should be to the rear of the pillar.

3] Using the 2.25”base screws, align countersunk holes in the base plate with corresponding holes in either end of each pillar. Tighten screws with a large tipped Phillips screw driver. A little hand soap on the threads may make the screws easier to turn. Using the 1.25” top plate screws, align countersunk holes in the top plate with corresponding holes in each pillar and tighten. Make sure that each screw is following the pilot hole. To avoid stripping the screw holes, do not use a power screwdriver for final tightening.

4] Twoformsofspeakermountsareprovided,brass speaker studs and neoprene speaker pads.* In most installations, brass studs will offer superior performance. To use the brass studs, simply push them into the holes in the corner of the top plate. Since brass studs can scratch the bottom of your speaker cabinet, the neoprene speaker pads are provided as an alternative. Neoprene speaker pads are self-adhesive and should be placed over the holes in the corner of the top plate.
