The Reference series of loudspeakers continues the longstanding Infinity
commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Our proprietary CMMD®
(Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm) drivers, precision dividing networks
and rigid, well-braced enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised
performance in any stereo or multichannel home theater system.
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
Home Theater
For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the
right of the television monitor. Angle your front speakers toward the
listening position.
For surround-sound use, place the speakers alongside the listening
position. Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of
space and your listening preference (Figures 2 and 3).
Place the center-channel speaker on top of or directly below the
television. Aim it 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.
Stereo
Before deciding where to place your Reference speakers, survey your
room and think about placement, using Figure 1 as a guide and keeping
the following points in mind:
• For best results, place the speakers 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters)
apart. Angle each speaker toward the listening position.
• 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 on this page if you plan to use the
speakers for home theater reproduction.
