DECOUPLING
Totem recommends decoupling the loudspeaker to break down cabinet resonance for optimum results.
There are a variety of unique decoupling systems offered by Totem. To find the appropriate system, you
must match your speaker to the correct system.
TOTEM PLINTH- Included with
Arro
List of Materials
Every Totem Plinth assembly pack
includes:
• 2 wood-painted black plinths
• 8 screws
• 8 spikes and nuts
• 8 silicone washers
• 8 pcs of yellow adhesive
Thread a nut onto the spike. Next, slide a silicone washer into the spike assembly. Insert the assembly
into the plinths. Repeat this procedure until all 8 spikes are fastened into the plinths. Once all the spikes
and washers are installed level the plinth to the floor.
Precautions to protect the finish should be taken when placing the speaker on its head. Please use one
of the packaging foam end caps to secure the speaker on its head. Once the adhesive has been set, place
the speaker on the plinth squarely.
Apply firm pressure to secure the bond. TOTEM recommends that you leave both the speaker and plinth
connected indefinitely.
Every assembly pack includes a yellow reusable adhesive which is separated into 8 units (4 per plinth).
Separate 4 adhesive units and place them on the bottom of the speaker, 1 in (2.54 cm) from the edge of
the speaker (the adhesive will spread out once loaded). If the plinths need to be removed: Twist the
plinths slowly in a clockwise fashion. Take note not to “pull” the plinth off, as this may cause damage
to the cabinet.
