Infinity Interlude Series

The Interlude Series of loudspeakers continues Infinity’s longstanding commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Our proprietary Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm(C.M.M.D.) drivers, precision dividing networks and rigid, well-braced enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised performance in any stereo or multichannel home-theater system. In addition, the IL10, IL30 and IL40 are magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to a television.

UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS

If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.

PLACEMENT

Stereo

Before deciding where to place your Interlude speakers, survey your room and think about placement, keeping the following points in mind:

For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' apart.

Position each speaker so that the tweeter is at approximately ear level.

Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner.

Refer to “Home Theater” below if you also plan to use the speakers for home-theater reproduction.

Home Theater

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

For rear-channel use, place speakers on bookshelves or stands alongside the listening position. Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space and your listening preference (Figure 2).

NOTE: An Infinity powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your local Infinity dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your application.
