TSS-1200 (120V)
Left and Right Front Channels
For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left
and another to the right of the television, as shown in Figure 1.
S
ince the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place
them very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic
field distorting the picture.
Center Channel
F
or the center channel, place the speaker directly on top of,
or below, your television. Use a shelf or one of the included wall
brackets if the television does not provide a stable platform.
Surround Channels
For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the
left and another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the
listening area.The surround speakers should be mounted at a
height of between 5 ft. (1.5m) and 7 ft. (2m).
Subwoofer
Since the installation of a subwoofer can be somewhat more
complicated than installing full-range speakers, it is essential
that you read this section very carefully prior to connecting the
subwoofer to your system. Should you have questions relating to
installation, it is advisable to call either your dealer or Infinity’s
Customer Service Department for advice.
The performance of the subwoofer is directly related to its
placement in the listening room and how you align the subwoofer
with the satellite speakers. Setting the volume of the subwoofer
in relation to the left and right speakers is also of critical
importance because it is essential that the subwoofer integrate
smoothly with the entire system. Setting the subwoofer’s volume
level too high will result in an overpowering, boomy bass. Setting
the volume level too low will negate the benefits of the subwoofer.
Here are several additional facts on installation that may prove
useful. It is generally believed that low frequencies (below
125Hz) are nondirectional and, therefore, placement of a
subwoofer within any listening room is not critical.While in
theory it is true that the larger wavelengths of extremely low
frequencies are basically nondirectional, the fact is that, when
installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a room,
reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the
room will strongly influence the performance of any subwoofer
system.
As a result, specific location of the subwoofer becomes
important, and we strongly recommend that you experiment with
placement before choosing a final location. Placement will
depend upon your room (for example, whether or not your room
permits placement of the subwoofer near either satellite) and
the amount and quality of bass r
equir
ed.

Mounting on Floor Stands
Optional TSS-STAND1200 floor stands are available, should you
p
refer to place your TSS-1200 satellites on the floor; see your

T
he TSS-1200 satellites and center channel are designed to also
be mounted on the wall.There is a fixed-mount wall bracket and
a
n adjustable wall bracket provided for each satellite and the
center channel. Each speaker bracket will require up to four
1-1/2"#10
wood screws; each screw should be fastened to a
wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable, install an anchor appropriate
for a 1-1/2"
#10 screw.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: The customer is solely responsible
for proper selection of mounting hardware not included with the
speakers,and for proper assembly and installation of the wall
brackets, including but not limited to the selection of appropriate
weight-bearing supports and proper use of the bracket. Infinity
