To avoid any damage to the surface of plain floors 
(Marble, Wood flooring etc.), use the supplied spike 
shoes (rests). Place these on the floor surface with the 
spike point recess on top. Carefully place/position the 
spikes into the recesses and adjust the position of the 
speakers accordingly.  
 
Adjust the spikes and level the speakers as outlined 
above. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When all the connections to the loudspeakers have been made correctly, you can switch on your amplifier(s). 
Always ensure that the volume setting is at minimum before playing any music through your loudspeakers. 
Check if there is any audible ‘hum’ in the system by listening to the loudspeakers with out any music playing and 
gradually increasing the volume. If there is any ‘hum’ or ‘buzz’ consult your appointed ROKSAN dealer or 
distributor.

When setting-up or testing your Caspian 

FR-5

 Loudspeaker system, choose the music material that you know 

well and sit in the central listening position. Do not be surprised if initially the music sounds different to what you 
have been used to. 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
The 

FR-5

 Loudspeaker system will continue to improve in performance over the first few weeks of use and it is at 

this time you should finalise the placement of your loudspeakers.

 NOTE: 

 

Your Caspian 

FR-5

 Loudspeaker system requires at least 48 hours of continuous music 

programme at reasonable volume to allow the various moving parts of the drive units and other 
component to ‘burn-in’. After this period has elapsed, the bass will increase in weight, definition, 
extension speed and articulation whilst the treble will sound more open, coherent and tactile.
