INTERLUDE SPEAKER SYSTEMS ™ Owner’s Guide • IL10 • IL30 • IL40
Infinity Interlude Series The Interlude Series of loudspeakers continues Infinity’s longstanding commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Our proprietary Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm™ (C.M.M.D.) drivers, precision dividing networks and rigid, well-braced enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised performance in any stereo or multichannel home-theater system. In addition, the IL10, IL30 and IL40 are magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to a television.
INSTALLING FEET IL30 and IL40 Refer to Figure 3 as you perform the following steps: 1. Open each accessory pack and locate the following items: four feet (with spike/round ends), four locking nuts, four nylon domes and one wrench. 2. Lay each speaker on its side and locate the four threaded holes on the bottom. 3. For carpets, screw the round end of a foot into each hole and hand-tighten a nut onto each one. Leave a minimum of 5/8" of exposed spike.
WIRING THE SYSTEM IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections. For speaker connections, use a minimum #16-gauge 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. The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors.The most common connection is shown in Figure 4.
BI-WIRING The Interlude Series outer connection panel and internal dividing network are designed so that separate sets of speaker cables can be attached to the low-frequency transducer and midrange/high-frequency 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. + – + 1. Loosen the terminals and remove strapping bars. – 2.
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS Check the speakers for playback first by setting the system volume control to a minimum level, and then by applying power to your audio system. Play a favorite music or video segment and increase the system volume control to a comfortable level. NOTE: You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connections or consult the authorized Infinity dealer from whom you purchased the system for more help.
