5] A choice of steel adjustable spiked feet and
plastic feet are included to provide stability

holes in the base of the stand. Lock the spikes
by tightening the nut against the base. The
plastic feet may be attached to the base with
a
the 5/8” pan head bolts. Optionally, the spiked
feet and plastic feet may be used together by
threading the nut all the way down the spike
and attaching the plastic foot with the spike. A
7/16” socket is recommended to tighten the nut
b
securely against the plastic foot.
6] The extra holes in the top plate may be used to
c
attach speakers that accomodate bottom bolt
mounting. Bolts are not provided. Position the
stands in the exact spot they will be used. If you
are using the adjustable spikes, make sure they
are level and that the stand does not rock. Set
the speaker on the stand and run the speaker

into the grooves in the pillar. Slide the covers

down until they touch the base.
*NOTE: The end of the spikes and the studs are sharp
and may scratch floors or furniture. All sharp and
small objects can be hazardous to children. For this
reason rubber pads and plastic feet are provided as
an option. The decision to use steel spiked feet and
speaker studs is yours; Sanus Systems is not liable

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 dem
onstrates the importance of speaker mounting and positioning.
The speaker stand needs to be competent in many areas in order for your loud
speakers to achieve optimum performance. Well engineered speaker stands like
Natural Foundations® rigidly hold speakers perfectly still and are free from reso
nance and diffraction problems. When set up correctly, Natural Foundations® will
greatly enhance your audio
video systemʼs acoustic per
formance and visual appeal.
Where you locate your speak
ers 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 loca
tions for your room. The easi
est way to find the optimum
speaker locations is with
educated trial and error. Your
Sanus trained audio consul
tant can get you started in the
right direction, but in the end
you need to trust your ears.
Happy Listening!
