User manual INFINITY OUTRIGGER JR

[. . . ] Placing your speakers near a wall or other surface will increase bass output. For vertical or horizontal mounting on a wall, use the enclosed mounting bracket and hardware (see Figures 2 and 3). Use heavy-duty screws with long threads (not included) so there is an adequate number of threads holding the speaker/bracket to the wall. Test the mounting thoroughly before final installation. [. . . ] Use high-quality speaker wire (#16 gauge or heavier) to make your connections. Use weatherproof wire for outdoor installations. Consult the owner's manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures. Strip the ends of the speaker wires about 3 /8". Twist the wire strands together for terminal insertion. Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 4. speakers have screw-down terminals for easy wiring. Open the terminal shell by turning it counterclockwise to expose the opening in the post. Insert a wire from each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each Outrigger jr. speaker. Turn the terminal shell clockwise until it secures the connection. Similarly, connect the ­ (black) terminal in the same way. If desired, you can use banana plugs (available at your local electronics store) to make these connections. IMPORTANT!Do not reverse polarities (i. e. , + to ­ or ­ to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response. OUTRIGGER jr. (Rear View) - + - + - L + - Left Receiver (Rear Panel) R + Right FIGURE 4.

UNDERSTANDING POWER RATINGS An A/V (audio/video) receiver with limited power output can actually cause damage to your speakers. When played beyond its power capability, it will go into clipping. This generates spurious high-frequency signals which, when routed to the tweeter, can cause it to overheat and fail. Overdriving the power amplifier must be avoided. It is always a good idea to choose a receiver with more power than you need. (Refer to power ratings in Specifications on the next page. ) 3 IN CASE OF TROUBLE Before consulting your dealer, Infinity service facility or factory service department, you can perform simple troubleshooting.
