F IGURE 4 – This example shows how to connect bare wires to the
terminals. Banana plugs may also be inserted directly into the rear of the
connector.
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before
making any connections.
For speaker connections, use a minimum #16-gauge speaker
wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or
other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).
NOTE: If desired, consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker
wire and connection options.
The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire
connectors.The most common connection is shown in Figure 4.
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 5. Connect the – (black)
terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s guides that were
included with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm
connection procedures.
IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +)
when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and
diminished bass response
