WALL-MOUNTING THE PRIMUS 140 AND
PRIMUS 150
WIRING THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any
connections.
The Primus 140 and Primus 150 are designed to mount directly to a
wall. Each satellite speaker has two keyholes on the back. Each speaker
will require (2) 1-1/2," # 10 wood screws fastened to a wall stud. If a
wall stud is unavailable, install an anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2," # 10
screw.
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.
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 speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connec-
tors.The most common connection is shown in Figure 5.
To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the
amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker,

as shown in Figure 6. Connect the (black) terminals in a similar way.
See the owner’s guides that were included with your amplifier, receiver
and television to confirm connection procedures.

IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to or to +) when
making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished
bass response.

Step 1.
Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the mounting
screws.
Step 2.
Fasten two 1-1/2," # 10 wood screws to the wall using the markings
placed in Step 1 as your guide. Leave an 11/16" space between the wall
and screwhead. If a wall stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor.
Figure 5.This example shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals.
Step 3.
(one channel shown)
Place the speaker on the wall by aligning the keyholes on the back of the
speaker to the screwheads on the wall. Once positioned properly, the
speaker should slide down slightly and become secure.
The Primus 140 also allows the use of third-party wall brackets using the
1/4"-20 threaded insert located beneath the keyhole mount. Consult the
wall-bracket manufacturer for selection of proper bracket.ker on the wall
by aligning the keyhole on the back of the speaker to the screwhead on
the wall. Once positioned properly, the speaker should slide down slightly
and become secure.

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.
The amount of bass you hear and the stereo-image quality will be affected
by a number of different factors, including the room’s size and shape,
the construction materials used to build the room, the listener’s position
relative to the speakers, and the position of the speakers in the room.
Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If there is
too much bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if
you place the speakers closer to the walls, there will be more bass output.
Nearby reflecting surfaces can adversely affect stereo-imaging quality. If
this happens, try angling the speakers slightly inward toward the listening
position until the optimum effect is achieved.
CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM
Each Primus series cabinet has a wood-grain-vinyl finish that does not
require any routine maintenance.When needed, use a soft cloth to remove
any fingerprints or dust.
Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming.
NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the cabinet
or grille.
