INFINITY CASCADE SERIES Model Five ™ The Infinity Cascade Series of loudspeakers continues Infinity’s longstanding commitment to accurate sound reproduction.
PLACEMENT Home Theater Stereo Before deciding where to place your Cascade speakers, survey your room and think about placement, keeping the following points in mind and using Figure 1 as a guide: • For best results, place the speakers 6' – 8' (1.5m – 2.5m) apart. • Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately at ear level. • Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner.
ASSEMBLY Model Nine and Model Seven It is strongly recommended that two people assemble the speakers to minimize the possibility of damage or injury. Installing Spiked Feet (Model Nine and Model Seven) 1. Open spike kit and locate the following items: feet (with spike/round ends), four locking nuts, four nylon domes and one wrench. 2. Lay each stand on its side and locate the four threaded holes on the bottom of the base. 3.
WALL-MOUNTING Attaching the Grilles NOTE: The customer is responsible for the correct selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores) that will ensure the proper and safe wall-mounting of the speakers. The Cascade loudspeakers use a unique frameless grille. Each end of the grille cloth contains a magnet.
WIRING THE SYSTEM IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections. For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding.The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +). NOTE: If desired, consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker wire and connection options.
BI-WIRING FINAL ADJUSTMENTS The outer connection panel and internal dividing network of the Cascade loudspeakers are designed so that separate sets of speaker cables can be attached to the low-frequency transducer and midrange/highfrequency transducer portions of this dividing network.This is called bi-wiring. Bi-wiring can provide several sonic advantages and considerably more flexibility in power amplifier selection.
