Receiving my Townshend Audio Podiums Monday. How to?

 

This is for those using Townshend Audio Podiums.

I will be receiving a pair of podiums this coming Monday.  I’m very picky about  having my left and right speakers distance from the wall behind the speakers, and the wall to the side of the speakers equal for both speakers, having found that distances must be within 1/10 of an inch of each other for proper staging.   In other words the distances from the walls must be identical for both the left, and the right speakers in my room.

My question is once I place the podiums on the floor, and then place the speakers on the podium, how do you adjust speaker position while assuring that the speaker is positioned properly at the center of the podium?  Do you put gliders under the feet of the podiums, or something similar?  How did you do it?

In advance, thanks for sharing any suggestions you have.

You don't need anything under the Podiums to protect the floor.

The Podiums are adjustable by turning the knobs at the corners in order to level the speaker. You then adjust speakers as usual.

In my experience you really won't be able to move the Podiums once they are placed with a speaker on top of them.  Get your speakers in the position you want them including toe in.  What I did was to tape around the speakers a few inches outside the speakers to create a box that would represent where the Podium would reside in an absolute relationship to the speaker.  I then placed the Podiums in that taped position box.  I then placed self adhesive mini gliders (1 3/4 inch) on the bottom of the speakers and placed them on the Podiums.  That way small adjustments can be made with the speakers on the Podium easily to get them in the relative position.

I have 150 lb speakers on podiums on hardwood.  The podiums will slide on the floor and the speakers will move on the podiums.  Extremely compulsive people like yourself often create problems for themselves  i wish you the best in working through it.  --Jerry
