Learn how to set up the PreSonus SP2 adjustable sub pole for AIR and ULT speakers and subwoofers. Follow these steps for stable, safe, and optimal sound.

Quick answer

Use the PreSonus SP2 adjustable sub pole to securely mount your AIR or ULT speaker on a compatible subwoofer. Adjust the height for optimal coverage and stability.

Why the SP2 Adjustable Sub Pole Works

The SP2 is designed specifically for PreSonus AIR and ULT speakers and subwoofers. Its adjustable height lets you fine-tune the speaker's position for better sound dispersion and audience coverage. The pole's locking mechanism ensures a secure fit, reducing the risk of accidental dislodging during a performance.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Skipping the weight capacity check: The SP2 is rated for compatible subwoofers and speakers. Always verify your subwoofer's top plate can support the combined weight of the pole and speaker. Overloading can cause instability.

Ignoring the locking pin: The SP2 includes a locking pin to prevent height slippage. Forgetting to engage it can lead to the speaker tilting or falling during use.

SP2 Sub Pole Setup Steps

  1. 1. Inspect the Pole and Subwoofer: Ensure the SP2 pole is free of damage and the subwoofer's top plate is clean and flat. Check that the subwoofer is stable on the ground. A damaged pole or unstable subwoofer can cause equipment failure.
  2. 2. Insert the Pole into the Subwoofer: Place the SP2's bottom end into the subwoofer's pole cup. Twist slightly to ensure a snug fit. The pole should stand vertically without wobbling. A loose fit means the pole cup may be incompatible; do not force it.
  3. 3. Adjust the Height: Loosen the locking collar, extend the pole to your desired height, then tighten the collar securely. For optimal coverage, aim for the speaker's tweeter to be above audience ear level. Over-tightening can strip the collar; tighten firmly by hand only.
  4. 4. Mount the Speaker: Carefully lift the AIR or ULT speaker and place its pole mount onto the top of the SP2. Ensure the speaker is centered and balanced before releasing. Always have a second person assist with heavy speakers to avoid injury.
  5. 5. Engage the Locking Pin: Insert the locking pin through the hole in the pole's collar to prevent accidental height changes during use. Without the pin, vibration can loosen the collar over time.
  6. 6. Test Stability: Gently push the speaker from different angles to confirm it doesn't wobble or shift. If unstable, re-check the pole insertion and collar tightness. A stable setup prevents accidents and ensures consistent sound.
