The chrome-plated set includes all the parts required for four supports.
Ricable Spike SK2 speaker spikes are a set of four supports for speakers and hi-fi equipment with M8 threaded mounting points. The chrome-plated spikes are machined from solid metal, and each one has a locking nut for height adjustment.
The pointed end of each spike rests in the supplied floor-protection disc. A self-adhesive EVA felt pad attaches beneath each disc to help protect the surface of the furniture or floor.
What is this set designed for?
This set is suitable for speakers and electronic hi-fi equipment fitted with four M8 threaded mounting points. Before ordering, check both the thread size and the number of supports required by your equipment. These spikes are not suitable for threaded sockets of a different diameter.
The package contains four supports, so one set is intended for a single item with four mounting points. If your equipment requires more supports, you will need an additional set.
Solid-metal construction and support design
Each speaker spike is machined from solid metal. The protective discs are also turned from solid metal. A chrome-plated finish gives all of the visible metal components a consistent appearance.
The pointed end of each spike must sit in the centre of its protective disc. The disc prevents the spike tip from coming into direct contact with the furniture or floor surface. Correct positioning is important because each point needs to remain securely seated as the equipment is lowered into place.
Installation and height adjustment
Begin by screwing all four spikes into the equipment’s M8 mounting points. Initially, set them to approximately the same extension. Next, position every spike on a separate protective disc.
If the equipment rocks, adjust one support gradually. Make small changes until all four spikes rest firmly on their discs and the equipment stands securely. Once a stable position has been reached, tighten the height-adjustment locking nuts. The nuts help retain the selected position of each spike within its threaded mounting point.
When making adjustments, do not leave too little of the threaded section engaged with the equipment. The exact safe insertion limit depends on the depth of the mounting point on the particular speaker or hi-fi component.
Using the protective discs and EVA felt pads
The four self-adhesive EVA felt pads attach beneath the metal floor-protection discs. Clean the underside of each disc before applying the felt so that the adhesive surface can bond more effectively to the metal.
Place the prepared discs directly beneath the pointed ends of the spikes. When lowering the equipment, make sure that none of the spike tips slips off its disc. Do not slide the installed equipment across the surface together with the supports, as this may cause the protective discs to move out of position.
The 60.5 × 25 mm dimensions help you determine whether there is sufficient space around each mounting position. The equipment’s final installed height will depend on how deeply the spikes are screwed into their mounting points.

FAQ
How can I tell whether these spikes will fit my speakers?
Your speaker must have M8 threaded mounting points. Check the number of mounting points as well. This set contains four spikes.
Do these spikes require a separate adapter?
The M8 thread connects directly to the corresponding mounting point on the equipment. Adapters for other thread sizes are not included.
How do I level a speaker that rocks?
Adjust one spike in small increments until all four supports rest firmly on their protective discs. Then secure the selected position by tightening the locking nut.
Can the pointed spike end be placed directly on the floor?
The set includes a metal protective disc for every pointed end. An EVA felt pad attaches beneath each disc to help protect the supporting surface.
In what order should the supplied parts be installed?
Screw the spike into the equipment and secure its position with the locking nut. Place the pointed end on the metal protective disc, with the EVA felt pad attached to the underside of the disc.
