To manipulate safely the Epilogue 3/4, you need to use accessories located in the
separate accessory box that your dealer has received, called the "Helm" box.
Open the "Helm" box. Locate the front panel attachment block (the heavy steel block)
and plug it on the two steel bars protruding from the lower part of the speaker front
panel (the large circular hole must be directed toward the floor).
Secure the block by the left and right screws.
Take from the same "Helm" box the 4 handling steel bars. The two threaded bars
must be locked tightly inside the front steel block (one on each side).
Insert the two other bars in the lodging under the speaker (on the rollers supports).
The bar must be inserted fully inside the three aligned holes on each side. Tighten
the back screw to avoid the bar to move when the speaker will be carried.
You have now 4 handles to lift and move the speaker safely. After the Epilogue 3/4 is
on the floor at the selected position you will remove these handles and the front steel
block and return it to your dealer.
After unpacking, and despite its extreme weight, the Epilogue 3/4 may still be moved
easily with the provided rolling accessory, the "Helm" roller. However, when fully
assembled, especially in the Full Epilogue configuration, the weight makes the
movement quite delicate, especially on thick carpeted floors.
For these reasons, it is best to locate the Epilogue 3/4 in its final position before
starting assembling the full system.
3. SELECTING THE EPILOGUE 3/4 LOCATION
A very rigid floor is very important for the optimal sonic result of your Epilogue
speakers. Select a position of the speaker to have the most rigid possible coupling
with the floor. Solid coupling is essential, and if your support is standing on a
suspended floor, optimal result requires that you arrange the support to have at least
the pointed foot above a supporting beam or close enough from a supporting wall.
ATTENTION :
The pointed foot supporting the front of the Epilogue 3/4 is very hard.
It is designed to go through a carpeted floor. If your floor is made of wood or tile, be
careful not to scratch it by moving a speaker without lifting the point.
If you have a thick carpet, the pointed bar may go too deep inside the carpeting and
the speaker will not raise high enough for the proper adjustment of its feet. You can
make the pointed bar longer by inserting a provided steel washer between the bar
and the enclosure.
