Infinity Total Solutions ™
Infinity Total Solutions continues Infinity’s longstanding
commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Our high-quality
drivers, precision dividing networks and rigid, well-braced
enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised performance in
any stereo or multichannel home theater system. In addition,
these speakers, except for the powered subwoofer, are
magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to a
television.
Unpacking the Speaker
If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your
dealer. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for
future use.

Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room
and think about placement, keeping the following points in mind,
using Figure 1 as a guide:
• For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' apart.
• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately
at ear level.
• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved
closer to a wall or corner.
• Refer to “Home Theater” if you also plan to use the speakers
for home theater reproduction.

in stereo applications.

Home Theater
For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another
on the right, along either side of the television monitor. Since the
speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them without
worrying about the field distorting the TV picture.
For surround-channel use, place speakers on bookshelves or
stands alongside the listening position. Final placement depends
on room acoustics, availability of space, and your listening
preference (Figures 2 and 3).
In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s)
behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
NOTE: An Infinity powered subwoofer will add impact and realism
to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your Infinity dealer
for recommendations on subwoofer models for your application.
Figure 2. This overhead view shows a typical home theater plan.

more suitable for some rooms. Left/right rear channels are for a
