The Interlude Series of loudspeakers continues Infinity’s
longstanding commitment to accurate sound reproduction.
Our proprietary Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm™(C.M.M.D.)
drivers,precision dividing networks and rigid, well-braced
enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised performance in
any stereo or multichannel home-theater system.In addition,
the IL10,IL30 and IL40 are magnetically shielded for safe
placement adjacent to a television.
UNPACKING THE
If you suspect damage from transit,report it immediately to
your dealer.Keep the shipping carton and packing materials
for future use.
SPEAKERS
PLACEMENT
Stereo
Before deciding where to place your Interlude speakers,survey
your room and think about placement,keeping the following
points in mind:
•
For best results,place the speakers 6'–8' apart.
•
Position each speaker so that the tweeter is at approximately
ear level.
•
Generally,bass output will increase as the speaker is moved
closer to a wall or corner.
•
Refer to “Home Theater” below if you also plan to use the
speakers for home-theater reproduction.
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.
Forrear-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 (Figure 2).
NOTE:An Infinity powered subwoofer will add impact and
realism to both music and film soundtracks.Contact your local
Infinity dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for
your application.

Refer to Figure 3 as you perform the following steps:
1. Open each accessory pack and locate the following items:
four feet (with spike/round ends),four locking nuts,four
nylon domes and one wrench.
2. Lay each speaker on its side and locate the four threaded
holes on the bottom.
3. For carpets,screw the round end of a foot into each hole
and hand-tighten a nut onto each one.Leave a minimum of
5/8" of exposed spike.(On thicker carpets,you can increase
the length of exposed spike up to 1-1/8.") For hard-surface
floors,screw the spike end into each hole instead and leave
5/8" of round end exposed.
4. Carefully flip each speaker upright to sit on its feet.
5. If needed,adjust the feet so each speaker is level and then
tighten each nut with the enclosed wrench.To protect hard
surfaces (e.g.,wood floors),slip a nylon dome onto each
round end.

IMPORTANT:Make sure all equipment is turned off before
making any connections.
For speaker connections,use a minimum #16-gauge speaker
wire with polarity coding.The side of the wire with a ridge or
other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e.,+).
NOTE: If desired,consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker
wire and connection options.
The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire
connectors.The most common connection is shown in Figure 4.
To ensure proper polarity,connect each + terminal on the back
of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on
each speaker,as shown in Figure 5.Connect the –(black)
terminals in a similar way.See the owner’s guides that were
included with your amplifier,receiver and television to confirm
connection procedures.
IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e.,+ to –or –to +)
when making connections.Doing so will cause poor imaging and
diminished bass response.
