EXR AUDIO STAND SYSTEM A Low Noise Floor Is Fundamental
Introduction Thank you for purchasing the patent pending Harmonic Resolution Systems EXR Audio Stand System. When used properly, it will give you many years of superior musical or video signal reproduction. The EXR Audio Stand System significantly reduces the negative impact of structure-borne noise on your audio or video component performance. Decades of engineering experience, custom material development, and listening tests are incorporated into the design of the EXR Audio Stand System.
Safety Instructions IMPORTANT WARNINGS! Do not place any tall objects on the top level of the EXR Audio Stand System. A tall object is any object with a height that is greater than the length of the isolation base. A tall object is also any object that has a height greater than its own width or length. Tall objects must not be placed on top of the EXR Audio Stand System for any reason. The object may become unstable and tip over causing damage to the component, adjacent objects, or injury to people.
Setup Instructions The EXR Audio Stand System is a complete system that can be used with or without HRS Isolation Bases. The components required to assemble the system are shipped in one or more boxes. The number of boxes depends on the system size. Each box containing parts for the system will be marked with the model number starting with EXR. All the wrenches required to put the system together are included with the shipment.
Step 1. One EXR Horizontal Support Assembly is designated as the top-level of the audio stand and has threaded EXR Caps bonded into the four EXR Frame Mounts. Place it upside-down on your work surface so the threads of the installed caps face up, and the front face with HRS logo faces away from you (photo 1). Photo 1 Steps 2-5 describe how to add a second level (and any subsequent levels) to your EXR Audio Stand System. If you are constructing a 1V model EXR (i.e.
Step 3. Identify the four EXR Struts of the correct size for this level of the EXR. Keep in mind that the EXR is being assembled upside-down, and so the first EXR Horizontal Support Assembly is the top level. The struts will provide component spacing equal to 3.5 inches less than their total length (including threads). e.g. Struts that measure 13.5 inches end-to-end will provide 10 inches of spacing.
Step 5. Carefully lift another EXR Horizontal Support Assembly and lower it onto the existing assembly so that the strut threads pass through the Frame Mounts as in photo 6. The Frame Mounts should seat fully onto the threads and rest in full contact with the polymer rings. Photo 6 If your EXR Audio Stand System includes another level, repeat steps 2-5 for the next EXR Horizontal Support Assembly to add it to the stand.
Step 8. Thread on the EXR Washers just until they contact the locking nuts, and then thread on the EXR Points just until they contact the washers (photo 8). Do not torque the washers or points tightly. Photo 8 Step 9. Assembly of the EXR Audio Stand System is now complete. Carefully lift and flip the EXR upright and move it the desired final location for use in your system. Depending on the size of your audio stand this may require multiple people.
Leveling the EXR Audio Stand - The EXR Audio Stand System is now ready to be leveled. Place the provided level on the top EXR Horizontal Support Assembly and apply gentle pressure against each side of the stand to see if it rocks back and forth. If the stand does rock back and forth and/or does not sit level, thread out the point(s) that must be extended to level the stand 1/4 turn at a time until the stand is level with all four points in contact with the ground.
Loading Components into the EXR Audio Stand System - Carefully load each component from the front of the EXR Audio Stand. Be careful not to hit any part of the shelves or isolation bases. If you are utilizing isolation bases in your EXR, make sure that none of the isolation bases are overloaded.
Care and Maintenance The EXR Audio Stand System is a very low maintenance item that will provide many years of trouble-free performance by applying these basic care instructions. Clean the external surfaces of the EXR Audio Stand System using a professional quality ultra-soft lint-free micro-fiber cloth available in high quality automotive stores. Use a lightly water-damped cloth if you need to clean dirt from the frame. Do not use commercial furniture polishes on the EXR.
