Étapes d'assemblage

1. Fixez la plaque de base : Securely fasten the substantial steel base plate to the bottom of the aluminum center column using the provided hardware. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent wobbling.
2. Fixer la plaque supérieure : Connect the steel top plate to the top of the aluminum center column. The top plates feature pre-drilled hole patterns designed to match compatible ELAC speakers (Navis, Carina, Vela) for secure mounting. Align the holes and fasten the top plate firmly.
3. Install Spikes/Discs: Thread the adjustable spikes into the designated inserts on the base plate. If placing the stands on carpet, use the spikes directly. For hard floors (wood, tile, etc.), place the floor protection discs under each spike to prevent damage and improve stability. Adjust the spikes to level the stand.

Facultatif DampMatériel d'ingénierie

The center column of the LS80 stands is designed to be fillable. You may choose to fill it with materials such as sand, lead shot, or other suitable damping materials to add further mass and reduce resonance. This can enhance the acoustic performance of your speakers by providing an even more stable and inert platform.

Emplacement et utilisation

Proper placement of your speaker stands is crucial for optimal sound reproduction and stability.

• Montage des haut-parleurs : Once the stand is assembled and positioned, carefully place your ELAC speaker onto the top plate. If your speaker model is compatible with the top plate's hole pattern, use appropriate screws (not included with stands) to securely fix the speaker to the stand. This prevents accidental dislodgement.
• Mise à niveau : Use the adjustable spikes at the base to ensure the stand is perfectly level on your floor. A level stand provides maximum stability and helps prevent unwanted vibrations.
• Type de sol : For carpeted floors, the spikes should penetrate the carpet to rest on the subfloor, providing a firm foundation. For hard floors, always use the provided floor protection discs under the spikes to protect the surface and maintain stability.
• Gestion des câbles: Route speaker cables neatly to avoid tripping hazards and maintain a clean aesthetic. The stand's design may allow for some cable concealment within or alongside the column.

Entretien

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and continued performance of your ELAC LS80 Speaker Stands.

• Nettoyage: Essuyez les surfaces du support avec un chiffon doux et sec. Pour les taches tenaces, un chiffon légèrement plus sec peut être nécessaire.amp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Vérifier la stabilité : Periodically check that all connections (top plate to column, base plate to column) remain tight. Re-tighten any loose screws. Verify that the stands remain level and stable, adjusting the spikes as necessary.
• Spike Condition: Inspect the spikes and floor protection discs for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain optimal stability and floor protection.

Dépannage

If you encounter issues with your ELAC LS80 Speaker Stands, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• Stand is Unstable/Wobbly:
  • Assurez-vous que toutes les vis de montage sont complètement serrées.
  • Adjust the leveling spikes at the base until the stand is firm and level on the floor.
  • Verify that the floor surface is even. If not, further adjustment of spikes or shims may be required.
• Vibrations excessives :
  • Consider filling the center column with a damping material (e.g., sand, lead shot) to add mass and reduce resonance.
  • Ensure speakers are securely fastened to the top plate, if applicable.
  • Check that the spikes are properly engaged with the floor (or discs) and not allowing the stand to rock.
• Floor Damage from Spikes:
  • Always use the provided floor protection discs when placing stands on hard surfaces.
  • Ensure discs are correctly positioned under each spike.
