Infinity QPS-1 – Owner’s Manual ◆1
INTRODUCTION
Infinity QPS-1 speakers are a pair of mirror-imaged, surround-sound speakers with an advanced quadrapole design that creates a non-specific sound source over a wider-than­usual listening area. This unique surround speaker design provides greater flexibility in speaker placement without sacrificing performance.
The QPS-1’s elegant, thin-profile enclosure (in a black or white finish) is made to complement your home furnishings and its integrated display stand provides easy placement on a convenient shelf or table. Or, if you prefer, you can mount the QPS-1 speakers on side or back walls by using the built-in, direct-mount keyhole.
Please read the remaining pages before connecting and operating the Infinity QPS-1 speakers. Maximum performance is dependent on following these instructions, as well as those listed in the owner’s manuals of associated components in your home theater system. Save these instructions for future reference. These speakers are covered by a limited five-year warranty, so save the bill of sale to protect your purchase and aid in any service-related questions.

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
To help plan your home theater system, we’ve included two system applications, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The first one represents a typical living room where the home theater system is the main focus. In the second application, the furniture is arranged for fireplace viewing and the entertainment center is in a corner.
Since QPS-1 surround speakers are a quadropole design, exact placement is not critical. For best results, position the speakers so they are level with or behind the listeners (typically seated on a couch). Place them at or above ear level (28" or 0.7m, depending on the available shelf or wall space). Make sure the speaker marked left (on its rear label) is on the left side (as you face forward), and the speaker marked right is on the right side (see Figure 1).
Set each speaker on any convenient shelf or table via a built-in display stand (see Figure 3 on page 4). Or use the built-in keyhole (see Figure 3 on page 4) for a more permanent mounting method.
