AUDIO NOTE (UK) LOUDSPEAKER VENEERS
All of our AN-K, AN-J and AN-E loudspeakers are finished in premium quality, responsibly sourced "book matched" real wood veneers. As one would expect from a natural product, each veneer is different and distinct, and no two pairs are exactly the same. Over time, the cabinets will slightly change in colour, due to the effects of sunlight and UV light. Some veneers develop stronger figuring; some become darker, others lighter. Some develop new and interesting shades in their grain colours. These changes are completely normal and natural, and add to the beauty and individuality of each pair of speakers. Our standard cabinet finish is satin, but high gloss lacquer finishes are also available at extra cost, and most of our standard wood veneers can be supplied in this deep, lustrous automotive-quality finish. We are also able to provide solid colour paint finishes at extra cost, matching any RAL shade of your choice. These paint finishes are available in satin or high gloss. We can now also offer real slate as a finish, at extra cost. The examples of our available veneers are intended to be A GUIDE ONLY, and as described above, your final speakers may be slightly different due to the inherent properties of natural, real wood veneer.

Speaker Stands
We offer specially designed speaker stands for our loudspeaker range. They are a high mass powder coated design specifically intended to partner the AN range of Audio Note (UK) loudspeakers. The stands (one pair) are supplied in kit form and require assembly as per the enclosed instructions before use. The cavities inside the upright pillars should be filled with a suitable high-density material such as metal shot / particles or sand. If sand is used, please ensure that it is a pre-dried (often referred to as ‘kiln dried’) type, and not moist. The sand supplied for fish tanks or children’s sandpits is ideal, as this has usually been cleaned and is dry; construction grade ‘sharp’ sand is not suitable in standard form, due to the water content. It may also be necessary to ‘seal’ the junctions between the base plate and the bottoms of the box section legs, to prevent sand escaping. Any pliable, slightly adhesive material such as Plasticine or Blu-Tack is ideal for this. Fully adjustable and lockable spikes are supplied for the bottom plates of the stands. We recommend using four small, peas sized balls of Blu-Tack, placed in each corner of the upper surface of the top plate for securing the loudspeaker to the stand. This is, in our experience, by far the best method to use.
