Infinity PRIMUS P143 - Unpacking the Speakers

INFINITY PRIMUS® SERIES
The Primus series of loudspeakers continues the longstanding Infinity
commitment to accurate sound reproduction, Our proprietary MMD®
(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, In addition, Primus
series speakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to
a television.
UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS

Home Theater
For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on
the right of the television monitor, Since the speakers are magnetically
shielded, you can place them without worrying about their distorting the
TV picture.
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,

• For best results, place the speakers 6 to 8 feet (1,8 to 2,4 meters)
apart.
• 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,
