Infinity MTS Center Wiring the System, Tilting the Speaker, Surround Modes, Wiring and Polarity

Tilting the Speaker...

If needed, the enclosed stand allows you to tilt the speaker across a 25-degree range (i.e., 18° maximum up and 7° maximum down), as shown in Figure 3.

Important!

Do not exceed the tilt range. Doing so may cause the speaker to fall out of its stand.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

After placing the speaker, you are ready to connect it to your system. First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make the connections. Consult the owner’s manuals, included with your amplifier or receiver, for connection and operation procedures.

Surround Modes...

When using the Prelude MTS Center in a Dolby* Digital or DTS® home-theater system, make sure the receiver’s/processor’s center- channel speaker modes are set to “Small”. When using the Prelude MTS Center in a Dolby Pro Logic* home-theater system, make sure the receiver’s/ processor’s center-channel mode is set to “Normal”.

Wiring and Polarity...

The Prelude MTS Center speaker has gold-plated terminals that can accept either bare wire or banana connectors. 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 4. Connect the – (black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.

Important!

Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to –, or – to +) when making connections. Doing so will degrade the imaging and bass response of the home-theater system.

After correctly placing and wiring the Prelude MTS Center and the rest of your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of the channels as recommended by the manufacturer of your receiver/processor.
