HPS-1.5 bookshelf speakers are suitable for use in reproducing sound from front left channels
and front right channels, as well as for use as rear surrounds (see Figure 3).
For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the right (on bookshelves
or stands) along either side of the television monitor. Since the speakers are magnetically
shielded, you can set them very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic field
distorting the TV picture.
For optimum surround-channel performance, place speakers on bookshelves or stands
alongside or behind the listening position. Ideally, the surround speakers should be placed
6 feet to 7 feet from the floor, facing the listening area. Final placement depends on room
acoustics, availability of space and your listening preference.
NOTE: You can add an Infinity HPS Series subwoofer for deep-bass impact on sound effects and music.
Contact your local Infinity dealer for recommendations on the best subwoofer model for your
application.
For optimum performance, the center-channel speaker should be placed as close to the front of
the TV as possible. The tweeter height of the center channel should be within 2 feet of the front
left and right loudspeakers’ tweeter heights.
