Hi i just got my MSP5A powered monitors. They came with a couple of Bumpon stickers for each speaker. Does anyone have a clue to where i should stick them? The manual doesn't mention anything. If it's up to me, what is the ideal location?

Thanks

I guess they can only really go on the underside, one in each corn to help kill vibrations. They probably leave these off as some people will have spikes or spiked stands..

Enjoy your new monitors..

Yes that's what i thought, the problem is that it came with just 2 small rectangular stickers for each speaker. So one in each corner won't be possible.

Ah, okay.. My only guess would now be that there should be 8 but they left some out. Maybe just buy some more or email Yamaha.

I have my monitors just sitting on shelves without any damping. Probably not ideal but seems to be okay..

Good luck.

I guess that i'll have to do just that. I'll look for a similar style.

Thanks punkdISCO

lowmax,

Or you could just leave them off and get something like this:

They're basically foam blocks that decouple the speakerbox from the desk. They cut vibration but also keep the surface they rest on from resonating so your bass responce isn't messed with. If you can find some dense foam blocks they will work just as well as buying these.

i had some stuff under my monitors (krk rp6) and when i took them out it made no difference

Ok it turns out that the two stickers are non-slip stickers and they go under the front side of the monitors. It is mentioned in the manual, i don't know how i missed it.... Sorry
