RHTSD: How To Set Up Smaller Speakers

Introduction

Setting up your RHTSD Speaker Stands for smaller speakers is simple and can be enhanced with a few optional steps for added stability and protection. This guide will walk you through the process of preparing the stands, adding sound isolation pads, and placing your smaller speakers securely on top.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Adding Sand for Extra Stability (Optional)

• Step 1: Add Sand (Optional)
  If you want to increase the stability of your stand, you can pour sand into the stand's column or place a sandbag inside before attaching the top plate.
  • Tip: This is optional but can provide extra balance and prevent tipping, especially with smaller speakers.

2. Attaching the Top Plate

• Step 1: Align the Plate
  Take the small plate and observe the indents on the plate. These indents mark where the holes are, making it easier to line up with the holes at the top of the stand.
• Step 2: Use a Trick for Easier Alignment
  Insert one screw through the indent holes to help reveal the hole locations, making alignment easier.
• Step 3: Secure the Plate
  Line up the holes of the plate with the holes on top of the stand, and use the included screws to secure the plate to the stand with a screwdriver or power drill.

3. Adding Sound Isolation Pads

• Step 1: Attach the Pads
  The hardware kit includes sound isolation pads to prevent your speakers from rattling on top of the stand. Remove the adhesive backing and stick the pads to the corners of the top plate.
• Step 2: Adjust the Pads (If Needed)
  If your speakers are smaller than the top plate, you can position the pads closer toward the center for better support.

4. Placing the Speakers on the Stands

• Step 1: Position the Speakers
  Once the stand is fully assembled, place your smaller speakers on top of the stand, ensuring they rest securely on the sound isolation pads.

Conclusion

Setting up your RHTSD Speaker Stands for smaller speakers is quick and easy. Adding sand for stability and sound isolation pads can further enhance your setup. Now your speakers are ready for use!
