Instructions to Install Spikes/Rubber Tips
On Speaker Bases
The T66 ships with the foot cones and locking nuts pre-installed into
the speaker bases.
Parts included:
4x Steel Spikes
4x Rubber Tips
1x Hook Spanner
1x Hex Key
Choosing Spikes or Rubber Tips
Using spikes provides much greater stability when placing your T66 loudspeakers on carpeting. But using spikes on
wooden floors, or other floors susceptible to scratching, can cause damage to the floor. Use the rubber tips
instead of spikes to protect these types of surfaces. GoldenEar is specifically not responsible for damage which
may result from the use of spikes.
NOTE: If you are using spikes it minimizes the potential for carpet/rug damage to wait to install spikes until after room
placement is optimized and connections to equipment are complete as outlined on pages 7-10 of this user manual.
For safety and installation ease, two people are recommended.
PLEASE READ THIS PAGE THOROUGHLY BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Installing the spikes or rubber tips
1a. With the speaker standing upright, have one person tilt the speaker to the side on its base by touching only the
cabinet. Do not touch the grille to do this.
1b. Person two can now either screw in spikes or attach rubber tips to the bottom of two accessible feet. Tilt the
speaker in the opposite direction and install the two additional rubber tips or spikes on the remaining two feet.
Repeat on other speaker.
2. With the rubber tips or spikes now installed, two people can lift the speaker upright and lower it to the desired
location. If you are using spikes on a carpeted surface, push down on the top of the speaker to force the spikes
through the carpet to make contact with the floor beneath.
3. Once you have positioned the speakers, wiggle them to see if they are stable and level. To achieve the best
level and stability, adjust the height of the feet using the supplied hex key inserted through the foot access holes
in the top of the base, and then tighten the locking nut against the bottom of the base (see diagram).
Reinstalling Foot Cones and Locking Nuts
The Foot cones and locking nuts are pre-installed in the speaker
base, but if disassembled they can be reinstalled as follows.
Two people are required.
1a. First tighten the threaded locking nuts onto each foot cone
(x 4 per speaker, see diagram at right).
1b. With the speaker standing upright, have one person tilt the speaker
to the side on its base by touching only the cabinet. Do not use the
grille to do this. Person two can now screw the assembled feet (with
locking nuts in place) into two of the threaded foot holes in the
bottom of the base. Tilt the speaker in the opposite direction. Install
the two additional assembled feet into the other two threaded
holes in the bottom of the base. Repeat on other speaker.
