BI-WIRING
The KAPPA CENTER speaker can be bi-wired. Before bi-wiring, ALWAYS remove
the metal bars between the high and low inputs. Bi-wiring will improve resolution and
dynamics. For even greater improvement, you may use two amplifiers (bi-amping).
DANGER: LOW POWER
Generally, loudspeakers can withstand a great deal of power, as long as the signal is
undistorted. You can safely use an amplifier or receiver with a power rating greater
than a speaker system’s recommended power, as long as you don’t overdrive the
amplifier. When amplifiers are overdriven, they “clip” the signal, creating distortion that
appears as high energy high frequency signals. These distortion products are directed
to the high frequency transducer by the crossover network, thereby creating a
dangerous condition for the smallest driver in the system. The smaller the amplifier
you use, the greater the danger of overdriving the amplifier or receiver, and conse-
quently the greater the potential danger to the high frequency transducer. Further
excessive boost by the amplifier or receiver’s tone controls can aggravate the
situation. Our advice is always to use an amplifier or receiver that will make your
KAPPA speakers play reasonably loud, and at the same time sound clean and
undistorted.
CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM
Your Infinity speaker cabinets are in genuine wood veneer which requires very little
maintenance. Dust the enclosures with a name brand furniture polish. The grilles may
be cleaned by using a vacuum cleaner on the low power setting.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE IN YOUR STEREO SYSTEM
Before consulting your dealer, Infinity service facility or the Infinity distributor in your
country, there are tests you can perform to locate and solve possible problems in your
speakers. You can use your stereo system’s two channels of information for simple
trouble-shooting. If the sound quality is distorted, listen to each speaker separately to
check if the fault is present in both.
If it is, then the trouble is likely to be elsewhere in your system. If the fault is in one
channel only, reverse the outputs of your amplifier to the speakers. If the distortion
moves to the other channel, the fault is not in your speaker.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SPEAKER
If a driver (tweeter, midrange or woofer) in your system is not working:
• Remove the driver from its enclosure and check to see if the wires are connected
firmly on the driver’s terminals.
• If the wire has come loose, reconnect it and crimp it so it does not loosen again.
• If the connections are correctly made and the speaker still does not play, you may
have a damaged or defective driver. Consult your dealer (see below).
SERVICE
Should your loudspeaker system ever need service, return it to the Infinity dealer from
whom it was purchased. If for some reason this is impractical, contact your local
Infinity Distributor.
