The Ultimate Support Satellite Poles are designed to provide stable and adjustable support for speakers, offering various models with distinct features for different user needs. These poles are engineered to simplify the process of setting up and adjusting speaker heights, ensuring both convenience and safety.
The SP-100 model is equipped with an air-powered lift assist system, making it particularly easy to handle speakers weighing between 35-45 lbs. To use this feature, the user first places the speaker on the stand. Then, firmly gripping the handle, they loosen the Z-knob, which allows the telescoping tube to be guided to the desired height with minimal effort. Once the height is set, the Z-knob is tightened to secure the speaker in place. For lighter speakers, it's crucial to grip the handle tightly when loosening the Z-knob to maintain control. Lowering the speaker involves a similar process: firmly gripping the handle, loosening the Z-knob, and guiding the telescoping tube downwards. Lighter speakers may require more effort to lower due to the nature of the air-powered assist. A key safety caution for the SP-100 is to be aware that the stand contains a gas-powered shock that pushes up when the Z-knob is loosened. Users should keep clear of the telescoping tubing and always ensure the Z-knob is fully tightened. For optimal results when lowering the stand, it is recommended to keep the speaker on the stand.
The SP-90 model features the TeleLock® system for height adjustment. This system utilizes a gray dial that can be turned to one of three positions: lock, rise, or lower. In the locked position, the speaker is held securely in place. The rise position allows the speaker to ascend but prevents it from lowering, providing a controlled upward adjustment. To lower the speaker, the user slowly turns the gray dial to the lower position. The speed at which the speaker descends is directly proportional to how quickly the dial is turned to the lower position, allowing for precise control. For added support and to manage the speed of lowering, it is recommended to use a hand to guide the speaker's descent.
The SP-80 model, while not detailed with specific adjustment mechanisms in the provided information, is part of the Satellite Poles series, implying it also offers a reliable method for speaker support and height adjustment, likely through a more traditional locking mechanism.
Attaching the speaker pole to a subwoofer is a common procedure across these models. To seat the speaker pole, it is placed into the subwoofer, and while pushing down firmly, it is turned clockwise until tightened. It is important not to overtighten. To remove the pole, it is turned counter-clockwise until it stops, and then lifted out. For fully seating the speaker pole, once the speaker is placed on the pole and its weight is applied, the pole is slightly loosened and then fully retightened. This ensures the pole is securely seated before adjusting the speaker to the desired height.
For models like the SP-90 that might require specific subwoofer integration, there are provisions for using 20mm threads. This involves a multi-step process: first, removing a small M3 button head screw on the side of the universal fit adapter using a 2mm Allen wrench. Next, the bottom of the universal fit adapter is pulled off. Then, a M5 socket head screw (center screw) is removed, and the top of the universal fit adapter is unscrewed. Finally, the pole can be screwed into the desired subwoofer. This detailed process ensures a secure and customized fit for various subwoofer types.
Maintenance features for these devices primarily revolve around ensuring proper usage and tightening of knobs and screws. The emphasis on fully tightening Z-knobs and TeleLock dials is crucial for both stability and safety. The inclusion of Allen wrenches for specific adjustments, such as those for 20mm threads, highlights the need for precise fitting and occasional adjustments. Users are encouraged to visit the manufacturer's website to download a detailed product manual, read full warranty details, and register for their warranty, which is a limited lifetime warranty, indicating the manufacturer's confidence in the durability and quality of their products. This suggests that with proper use and adherence to instructions, these speaker poles are designed for long-term reliability.
