Using your Kanto SP9 speaker stands is easy. First, choose the right top plate size for your speakers and attach it to the stand using the provided screws. Then, place your speakers on the top plates. You can rotate the top plates 15 degrees left or right to find the best position for your listening. To keep your desktop tidy, run the speaker cables through the hollow core of the stands. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe the stands with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the steel and foam. Be careful not to exceed the 30 lb (13.6 kg) weight limit per stand to ensure their stability and longevity. Also, check the screws periodically to make sure they are tight and your speakers are secure.
