4. Configuração e montagem

Follow these steps to assemble your NorStone Stylum 3 speaker stands:

1. Descompacte os componentes: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Verify all components listed in Section 2 are present.
2. Fixar a placa de base: Secure the base plate to the bottom of the main stand column using the provided screws and assembly tool. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.
3. Fixe a placa superior: Secure the top plate to the top of the main stand column using the provided screws and assembly tool. Ensure it is oriented correctly for speaker placement.
4. Instalar estacas de aterramento: Screw the adjustable ground spikes into the threaded inserts on the underside of the base plate. Place the protective metal plates under each spike if the stands are on a delicate floor surface (e.g., wood, laminate) to prevent scratches.
5. Install Top Spikes or Rubber Pads: For optimal speaker isolation, you have two options for the top plate:
   • Top Spikes: Screw the adjustable top spikes into the threaded inserts on the top plate. These provide a rigid coupling between the speaker and stand.
   • Skidproof Rubber Pads: Alternatively, place the provided skidproof rubber pads on the top plate. These offer vibration dampening and prevent speakers from sliding.
6. Optional Sand Filling: The larger main column can be filled with dry sand (not included) for increased mass and improved resonance dampening. Remove the top cap (if present) and carefully pour dry sand into the column. Ensure the sand is completely dry to prevent moisture issues. Replace the cap securely after filling.
7. Gerenciamento de cabos: The stand features a cable management system. Route your speaker cables through the designated openings in the columns to keep them tidy and out of sight.

Once assembled, position your NorStone Stylum 3 speaker stands in the desired location, ensuring they are on a stable and level surface.

• Posicionamento do alto-falante: Carefully place your speakers onto the top plates. If using top spikes, ensure the speaker's base makes firm contact with all four spikes. If using rubber pads, center the speaker on the pads.
• Leveling and Stability: Adjust the height of the ground spikes by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the stand is perfectly level and stable, with no wobbling. This is crucial for optimal sound performance and safety.
• Roteamento de cabos: Utilize the internal cable management system to route speaker cables from your amplifier to the speakers. This helps maintain a clean aesthetic and prevents cable clutter.

6. Manutenção

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your speaker stands.
