INFINITY PRIMUS™ SERIES
The Primus series of loudspeakers continues Infinity’s longstanding commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Our proprietary Metal Matrix Diaphragm (MMD™) drivers, precision dividing networks, and rigid, well-braced enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised performance in any stereo or multichannel home theater system.
In addition, Primus series speakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to a television.
UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS
If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.
PLACEMENT
Stereo
Before deciding where to place your Primus 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 the “Home Theater” section if you also plan to use the speakers for home theater reproduction.

Listening Position
Figure 1. Experiment with speaker placement to obtain the best bass level and stereo imaging in your room.
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 rear-channel use, place Primus bookshelf speakers on bookshelves or stands – or Primus floorstanding speakers on the floor – alongside the listening position. Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space, and your listening preference (Figure 2).
The center channel speaker should be placed on top of or directly below the television and aimed toward the listening area.
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.
