Installation

The installation of the SYSBAL S1 devices can be roughly divided into 3 primary mechanisms of audio equipment: players, amplifiers, and speakers.

Make sure that the logo plate is on top or the letters “SYSBAL S1” on all your devices are not upside down before placing them between your audio equipment and a supporting surface.

Installing 4 pcs of S1 (Set 3 / Set 4) so that the entire S1 is in full contact with the audio equipment and supporting surface is more difficult than installing 3 pcs of S1 (Set 1 / Set 2).

Installing the SYSBAL S1 devices to players and amplifiers

At least 3 S1 devices are required to support each player and amplifier in your system by using either Set 1 (Type-F 3 pcs) or Set 2 (Type-A 3 pcs) without thread adapters. The placement of each S1 should have a similar load average to ensure stable balance of the player and amplifier.

If you wish to use 4 S1 devices, you should select at least 1 S1 Type-A device to level and tighten the locking ring to prevent loosening when the S1 Type-A device touches the player/amplifier and touches the supporting surface. You can chose Set 3 (Type-F 3 pcs plus Type-A 1 pc) or chose Set 4 (Type-A 4 pcs) without thread adapters, as the vibrations of the player and amplifier are not as powerful as the speakers.

Installing the SYSBAL S1 devices to speakers

A set of S1 4 pcs or S1 3 pcs can be selected to install on each speaker.

If choosing a set of S1 4 pcs, you can either choose Set 3 (Type-F 3 pcs plus Type-A 1 pc) or chose Set 4 (Type-A 4 pcs)

If choosing a set of S1 4 pcs, you can either choose Set 3 (Type-F 3 pcs plus Type-A 1 pc) or chose Set 4 (Type-A 4 pcs).If choosing a set of S1 3 pcs, you can choose either Set 1 (Type-F 3 pcs) or Set 2 (Type-A 3 pcs) with thread adapters that match the speaker’s existing spikes. The installation steps are as follows:

  1. Remove the logo plate (1) by prying the edge with a needle.
  2. Attach the thread adapter (2) by turning the M5 male thread to the M5 female thread at the top of the SYSBAL S1 and tighten it using a flat-blade screwdriver.
  3. Remove all original spikes or feet from the speaker.
  4. Turn the SYSBAL S1 so that the adapter threads replace the original spikes or feet until they are tight.
  5. Place the speakers that are already installed with the SYSBAL S1 on a supporting surface and position them for the best sound.
  6. Hold the retainer (6) and use the 3 mm rod (3-1) to rotate the height adjuster (4) at the bottom end of the SYSBAL S1 Type-A until the bottom end touches the supporting surface. If you choose to use 4-piece Type-A set, the speaker should be leveled so that the top plane is horizontal.
  7. Hold the retainer (6) and use another 3 mm rod (3-2) to tighten the locking ring (5) against the height adjuster (4) to prevent loosening.

If choosing a set of S1 3 pcs, the first two S1s can be installed in place of the existing speaker spikes at either the front or rear positions of each speaker. The third S1 can be placed in the center of the remaining front or rear spikes without the need for a thread adapter.
