INTRODUCTION

Infinity®

PS410

Powered

Subwoofer

The

Infinity®

PS41

0

powered

subwoofer

continues

the

longstanding

Infinity

commitment

to

accurate

sound

reproduction

.

Our

proprietary

technology

and

engineering

resources

work

together

to

deliver

uncompromised

low-

frequency

performance

in

any

stereo

or

multichannel

home

theater

system.

Unpacking

the

Subwoofer

If

you

suspect

damage

from

transit,

report

it

immediately

to

your

dealer.

Keep

the

shipping

carton

and

packing

materials

for

future

use.

PLACEMENT

Since

installing

a

subwoofer

can

be

somewhat

more

complicated

than

installing

full-range

speakers

,

read

this

section

very

carefully

prior

to

connecting

the

subwoofer

to

your

sys

t

em.

Should

you

have

ques

t

ions

relating

to

your

installation,

call

your

dealer

or

visit

www.infinitysystems

.

com

for

assistance.

The

performance

of

the

subwoofer

is

directly

related

to

its

placement

in

the

listening

room

and

how

you

align

th

e

subwoofer

with

its

satellite

speakers

.

Most

audio

authorities

believe

that

low

frequencies

(below

125Hz)

are

nondirectional

,

and,

therefore,

the

location

of

a

subwoofer

wi

th

in

any

listening

room

is

not

critical;

but

with

in

the

limited

confines

of

a

room,

reflections,

standing

waves

and

absorpt

i

ons

generated

within

the

room

will

strongly

influence

the

performance

of

any

subwoofer

system

.

As

a

result,

the

specific

location

of

the

subwoofer

becomes

important

,

and

we

strongly

recommend

t

hat

you

experiment

with

placement

before

choos

i

ng

a

final

location.

Placement

will

depend

upon

the

amount

and

quality

of

bass

required

and

upon

your

room

(for

example,

whether

or

not

your

room

permits

placement

of

the

subwoofer

near

either

satell

i

te).

Be

sure

to

leave

a

minimum

of

15cm

(nearly

six

inches)

between

the

wall

and

the

port

on

t

he

subwoofer.

Setting

the

v

ol

u

me

of

the

subwoofer

in

r

elationship

to

the

left

and

right

speakers

is

also

of

critical

importance

because

it

is

essential

t

hat

the

subwoofer

integrate

smoothly

with

the

entire

system

.

Setting

the

subwoofer's

volume

level

too

high

will

result

in

overpowering

,

boomy

bass

.

Setting

the

volume

level

too

low

will

negate

the

benefits

of

the

subwoofer.
