coded terminals. This example shows the
most common way of connecting speaker
wire by directly inserting into terminals.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
For speaker connections, use #18 gauge speaker wire (or #16 for runs over 25 feet) with
polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered negative
polarity (i.e.,
-
).
NOTE: If desired, consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker wire and connection options.
RS Series speakers have color coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors. The most
common connection is shown in Figure 3.
To ensure proper polarity, connect each
+
terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver, or
television to the respective
+
(red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in Figure 4. Similarly,
connect the
-
(black) terminals in the same way. Also, see the owner’s manuals that were
included with your amplifier, receiver, or television to confirm connection procedures.
Do not reverse polarities (i.e.,
+
to
-
or
-
to
+
) when making connections. Doing so will
cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.
