Usage Features

The TS-90 Series stands are designed for straightforward setup and operation, incorporating several features to ensure safety and stability:

Setup Process:
1. Open Leg Fitting Lock Lever: Begin by opening the lock lever on the leg fitting.
2. Pivot Legs: Turn the stand upside down and pivot the legs until the Ultimate Support label faces you.
3. Adjust Leg Spread: Turn the stand upright and slide the leg fitting to achieve the desired diameter for the leg spread. The leg braces should be parallel to the floor for maximum stability. Close the lock lever.
4. Adapter Adjustment: The built-in adapter fits both 1-1/2" and 1-3/8" speaker sockets. Use the lower position for 1-1/2" sockets. For 1-3/8" sockets, depress the push buttons and raise the adapter until it locks in the raised position.
5. Raise Center Tube: Align the TeleLock® collar arrow with "RAISE." Raise the center tube 6-10 inches. Place the speaker cabinet on top of the stand. Then, raise the cabinet to the desired height and set the collar to the "LOCK" position.
6. Lowering Speakers: To lower speakers, SLOWLY rotate the TeleLock collar arrow to "LOWER" until the speaker begins to descend. To control the descent speed, turn the collar toward the "RAISE" position. When ready to remove the speaker, rotate the collar to "LOCKED."
7. TS-99BL Leveling Leg: For the TS-99BL model, the third leg can be adjusted to level the stand on uneven surfaces. Untighten the leg telescoping collar, lengthen the leg, and then retighten the knob.
