Steinway & Sons Model D – Installation Manual, version 2.1
INTRODUCTION TO THE MODEL D
Safety Warning
Physical Handling
The Model D loudspeakers are very heavy and large. They can be difficult to handle. Follow all instructions for
unpacking and installation. Use ergonomically correct body positions. Be careful not to unbalance the large
speaker systems during handling. Steinway Lyngdorf cannot be held responsible for any physical damage
which occurs during the installation process.
The loudspeakers weigh 176 kilos (384 lbs) each. Therefore, a minimum of four people will be necessary to
unpack and install the system.
UNPACKING MODEL D SPEAKERS
Each crate holds a single Model D loudspeaker mounted on transport panels on top and bottom, which
secures the loudspeakers during transportation as well is of use when lifting the loudspeaker into its final
position.
The crates have been assembled using the Clip-Lok packaging system. The tool for removing the clips is in the
foot of the crate.
Once you have unclipped the box, remove the top. With the speakers you will also find the following items:
• Dolly Cart for moving the speaker
• A piece of carpet for pulling the speaker over even surfaces
• Metal bars for lifting the speaker
• Allen Key, Hex4, for mounting the decorative side panels
• Spike Kit holding both pointed and rubber pad spikes
• Speakon Plug, NL4FC
• Cable for connecting the Model A1 amplifier to the speaker
If the speakers are part of a total Model D System, the crate might also include the Model A1 amplifier.
