Infinity KAPPA CENTER Instruction Manual

Congratulations on choosing Infinity KAPPA Series Loudspeakers. The instructions in this manual will help you realize the full potential of your loudspeakers.

UNPACKING

The packing materials of your KAPPA CENTER speaker are designed to protect the loudspeaker from any damage due to rough handling during shipment. We strongly suggest that you keep the packing material for future purposes, in case you move or if your loudspeakers should require service.

POSITIONING

Proper positioning of speakers within the listening room is of primary importance in order to achieve the best possible sound. Room reflections, furniture placement, heavy drapes, window reflections and so on can influence sonic quality, balance and the stereo image. It is essential to experiment with different locations to determine which placement offers the best overall balance and imaging. A center speaker must be placed in close proximity to the tv or projector screen and this obviously limits the flexibility of placement to a very large degree. The usual arrangement is to have the center speaker on top of the tv, or underneath the projector screen if one is in use. In the case of use with a projector screen, place the center speaker on a rigid stand to raise it from the floor.

If you have the flexibilty to choose different positions within the room for your tv or screen, take the opportunity to see what effect these different positions have on the sound quality of your center speaker. In general, you will find benefit from positions where the speaker is not in close proximity to large pieces of furniture or room corners.

MAGNETIC SHIELDING

The KAPPA CENTER has full magnetic shielding so that it can be used close to a tv without distorting the colour balance.

CONNECTIONS

Make sure all equipment is turned off before making connections.

To connect the KAPPA CENTER to the receiver or amplifier, use two conductor insulated wire. Your Infinity dealer can recommend suitable cables. We recommend

1.3mm diameter (16 AWG) as a minimum size. If your speaker is more than 10 m (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 interconnects and speaker cable available from your dealer.

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. 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.
