Page 3: Introduction
RODUCT You have invested in one of the finest audio/video speakers available. Your Infinity Omega speaker employs new technology in driver, crossover and cabinet construction, which places it at the forefront of current speaker design. As with any high-quality product, special care must be taken to install and operate your new speaker. -
Page 4: Associated Components
If you are replacing existing speakers with an Infinity Omega System, there should be an audible improvement in sonic quality, assuming your other components are at least on a par with the Omega speaker in terms of low dis- tortion, phase linearity, frequency response and so on. -

Infinity Omega. If inferior wire is used, sonic quality will suffer and the degra- dation of sound will be readily audible. For best results, do not use wire that is thinner than 16 gauge. - Page 6 LEFT channel output terminals in a similar manner. (See fig- ure 2.) OMEGA Figure 2. – Speaker connection.

Page 7: Connection For Bi-Amp Operation
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com ONNECTION FOR PERATION Your Infinity Omega speakers permit you to employ two power amplifiers in a bi-amp configuration. One amplifier feeds the woofer (the signal passes through the speaker’ s crossover network to feed the woofer) and the other amplifier drives the remainder of the speaker system. -
Page 8: Bi-Wiring
Many audiophiles recommend using two connecting wires instead of one because two wires share current through a greater conducting area. If you wish to bi-wire your Omega speaker with a single power amplifier, remove the two shorting straps on the rear of the speaker that separate the woofer and midrange/tweeter sections of the crossover network. -

If the only inverting component in your system is the preamplifier or CD play- er, all of the speaker leads (when using a single amplifier or two separate ones) must be reversed at either the amplifier output or speaker inputs.

Page 14: Adjusting Your Emit™ Level
DJUSTING EVEL Your Omega loudspeaker allows the EMIT tweeter to be adjusted to one of three settings (boost, flat, cut). Start with the flat setting and compare to the boost or cut setting. Trust your ears and select the setting that is most pleasur- able for your listening room. -
Page 15: Acoustic Feedback
In turn, this vibration is fed back to the electronics and speakers. Since Omega speakers extend to very low frequencies, isolating the turntable from vibrations becomes an important procedure. The turntable should be placed on a heavy, solid support located as far from the speaker as possible. -
