RHTSD: How To Set Up & Use

Introduction

Setting up your Rockville RHTSD Speaker Stands is simple and efficient. This guide will walk you through the process of assembling the stands, attaching the appropriate plates for your speakers, adding stability, and even organizing your cables. Let's dive in!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Setting Up the Base Plates

• Attach the Base Plate to the Column:
  1. Place each column upside down on a flat surface.
  2. Grab one of the base plates from the kit and align the holes of the base plate with the holes at the bottom of the column.
  3. Use four screws from the hardware kit to secure the base plate to the column. You can use a screwdriver or power drill to tighten the screws.
• Repeat for the Second Stand: Follow the same steps to attach the base plate to the second column.

2. Attaching Feet to the Base

• For Carpet or Rug Setup (Metal Spikes):
  1. Take each metal spike and screw it into the gold rings at the bottom of the stand.
  2. Tighten the spikes as needed to balance the stand for a stable setup on carpet or rug surfaces.
• For Hardwood Floor Setup (Rubber Feet):
  1. Take each rubber foot and screw it into the gold rings at the bottom of the stand.
  2. Adjust the rubber feet for the best balance on hardwood surfaces.
• Repeat for the Second Stand: Attach the feet (metal spikes or rubber feet) to the second stand following the same process.

3. Setting Up the Top Plates

• Choosing the Right Plate:
  1. If you're using smaller speakers, attach the smaller plates to the top of the stands.
  2. If you're using larger speakers, opt for the larger plates instead.
• Attaching the Smaller Plates:
  1. Align the indentations on the small plates with the holes on top of the stand.
  2. Use one screw to push through the film and reveal the hole for easier alignment.
  3. Secure the plate with four screws using a screwdriver or power drill.
• Repeat for the Second Stand: Follow the same process for the second stand.

4. Adding Stability (Optional)

• Pour Sand for Extra Stability: If you want to increase stability, you can pour sand into the column of each stand before attaching the top plate. This step is optional, but it can help if you need added weight for extra support.

5. Adding Sound Isolation Pads

• Attach the Isolation Pads:
  1. Remove the adhesive backing from the sound isolation pads.
  2. Attach the pads to the corners of the top plates to reduce any unwanted rattling from your speakers.

6. Placing Your Speakers

• Mount Your Speakers: Once the top plates are in place, carefully place your speakers on top of the stands.

7. Cable Management (Optional)

• Organize Your Cables:
  1. Use the wire management clips and zip ties provided in the hardware kit to organize the cables coming from your speakers.
  2. Peel the adhesive backing from each clip and attach them to the stand at your preferred locations (top or bottom).
  3. Use the zip ties to secure the cables through the clips.

Conclusion

Setting up your Rockville RHTSD Speaker Stands is a straightforward process. Whether you're setting up for a live performance or just need a stable setup for your speakers, these stands provide versatility and security for your audio equipment.
