Owner’s Manual

Part #335158-001

The Infinity HPS-1.5 bookshelf loudspeaker features advanced acoustic technology, the highest
quality components and superior enclosure design. While the HPS-1.5 is, on its own, an
excellent loudspeaker, it is ideal for use with the wide variety of subwoofer systems available
today. When combined with a powered subwoofer, especially one of Infinity’s HPS Series
subwoofers, the HPS-1.5 offers the listener superior accuracy, dynamics and resolution while
delivering an exceptionally realistic stereo image. The HPS Center is the perfect center channel
for expansion into home theater, and is voice-matched with the HPS-1.5 for optimal
performance.
