Using your Kanto SP32PL speaker stands is easy. First, choose the right top plate for your speakers - the smaller one for standard bookshelf speakers and the larger one for bigger models. Attach the top plate to the stand using the included mounting screws if you like, but you can also use the dampening pads without them. Decide whether you need the dome feet for hard floors or the spike feet for carpets and attach them to the bottom of the stands. Place your speakers on the top plates. You can route the cables through the hollow tubes to keep your setup looking clean. When it comes to maintenance, just wipe the stands with a dry cloth regularly to keep them clean. Remember, the speakers are not included with the stands. If you're using the stands on a delicate floor, be careful with the spike feet to avoid scratching. Also, make sure the stands are placed on a flat surface to keep them stable.
