CONNECTIONS
Make
sure
all
equipment
is
turned
off
before
making
connections.
To
connect
the
loudspeaker
systems
to
the
receiver
or
amplifier,
use
two
conductor
insulated
wire.
Your
Infinity
dealer
can
recommend
suitable
cables.
We
recommend
1,3
mm
diameter
(16
AWG)
as
a
minimum
size.
If
your
speakers
are
more
than
10
mirs.
(30
feet)
from
your
receiver
or
amplifier,
use
larger
diameter
wire.
Interconnects
are
an
important
component
in
an
audio
system.
You
may
wish
to
audition
and
compare
the
performance
of
some
of
the
specialty
audio
cables
and
speaker
wire
sets
available
from
your
dealer.
For
each
channel,
the
red
terminal
on
the
loudspeaker
should
be
connected
to
the
red
or
(+)
loudspeaker
connection
terminal
on
the
amplifier
(or
receiver),
and
the
black
terminal
on
the
loudspeaker
should
be
connected
to
the
black
or
(-)
terminal
on
the
amplifier.
Connecting
the
loudspeakers
in
this
manner
ensures
that
they
will
work
in
phase;
that
is,
work
together
rather
than
in
opposition.
Connecting
the
loud-
speakers
out
of
phase
will
not
damage
them,
but
will
result
in
less
bass
and
poor
imaging.
Most
two
conductor
wire
is
color-coded
or
has
a
ridge
on
one
of
its
insulating
jackets,
so
that
you
can
easily
identify
which
wire
is
connected
to
which
terminal.
When
connecting
more
than
one
pair
of
loudspeakers
to
an
amplifier
or
receiver,
consult
your
dealer
or
amplifier
manufacturer
to
ensure
that
the
resulting
load
can
be
handled safely.

POWER
Generally, loudspeakers can withstand a great
deal of power, as long as the signal is un-
distorted. You can safely use a power amplifier
with a power rating greater than a speaker
systems recommended power, as long as you
don’t overdrive the amplifier. When amplifiers
are overdriven, they “clip” the signal, creating
distortion that appears as high energy high

by the crossover network, thereby creating a
dangerous condition for the smallest driver in
the system. The smaller the amplifier you use,
the
greater
the
danger
of
overdriving
the
amplifier
or

and
consequently
the

The
advice
is
always
to
use
an
amplifier
or
receiver
that
will
make
your
DELTA
speakers
play
reasonably
loud,
and
at
the
same
time
sound

and
undistorted.
DELTA Center channel
For
surround
sound
systems,
the
Infinity
DELTA
Series
includes
a
dedicated
center
channel
loudspeaker.
DELTA
Center
is
magnetically
shielded
for
safe
use
near
the
picture
tube
and
should
be
placed
directly
on
top
or
beneath
the
television
set.
The
front
edge
of
DELTA
Center
should
be
on
a
line
with
the
front
edge
of
the
television.
DELTA
Center
must
be
connected
in
phase
to
the
amplifier/receiver,
i.e.
plus-to-plus
and
minus-to-minus,
exactly
like
the
left
and
right
front
loudspeakers.
