Assembly Instructions   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tools required: 

 #2 Phillips 

Parts included: 

Base, four Phillips head screws,

 

 

     

four plastic washers, four leveling feet,

 

 

     

four optional spikes, four locking nuts.

Instructions: 

 

1.  Install Base as follows:

 

 

a.  On a soft elevated flat surface, such as a tabletop 

 

 

 

with a towel carefully lay the Triton on its side with  

 

 

 

the bottom of the tower overhanging the edge of  

 

 

 

the table just enough to allow the base to be fitted  

 

 

 

in place.

 

 

b.  Carefully slide the base onto the bottom of the tower.

 

 

c.  Place one plastic washer on each bolt.

 

 

d.  Position the base on the bottom of the speaker and 

 

 

 

insert the screws into the base from the underside  

 

 

 

(same side that the foot inserts are installed).

 

 

e. 

Push each screw through the cloth

 into the threaded 

 

 

 

holes on the bottom of the Triton, and then loosely tighten all four screws. If this has been done  

 

 

 

correctly, washers will be between the base and the heads of the screws.

 

 

f.  GENTLY tighten each screw with the screwdriver. Do NOT over tighten or you may crack the base.

 

 

g.  Attach the AC cord into outlet on the back.

 

 2.  Install leveling feet or spikes (see “Using Optional Spikes” section, below):

 

 

a.  First, install a locking nut onto each foot and then screw each foot into the four threaded inserts on  

 

 

 

the bottom of the base.

 

 

b.  Carefully return the speaker to the upright position with the help of another person — lift the speaker 

 

 

 

upright and lower it to the desired location; if using spikes, push down on the top of the speaker to  

 

 

 

force the spikes through the carpet and make contact with the floor beneath. 

 

 

c.  Once you have positioned the speakers, wiggle them to see if they are stable and level. Adjust 

 

 

 

the height of the leveling feet/spikes accordingly for best level and stability, and then tighten the  

 

 

 

locking nut.

  using the Optional Spikes

 

In addition to the rubber feet, optional spikes have been included should you desire to use them. The use 

 

of these spikes will provide much greater stability when placing your loudspeakers on carpeting. It will also,  

 

according to many experts, result in an overall improvement in sonic performance. 

 

nOtE:

 Using spikes on wooden or other floors which are susceptible to being scratched can cause damage 

 

to the floor. GoldenEar Technology is specifically not responsible for damage which may result from the use  

 

of spikes.
