Before deciding where to put your RS Series floorstanding speakers, survey your room and
PEAKER
think about placement, keeping the following points in mind:
...
Take care in placing the RS-8s in their correct left and right orientation (side-firing 8" sub-
woofer facing out).
For best results, try placing the speakers 6' – 8' apart.
Optimum listening position is achieved by sitting at the vertex of an equilateral traingle
formed by the speakers and the listening position (see Figure 2).

Refer to Figure 3 when placing speakers for best bass level and stereo image (see Final
Adjustments on page 9).

RS-8 floorstanding speakers are also suitable for use in reproducing home-theater sound from
...
front left and right channels.
Place one RS Series floorstanding speaker on the left and another on the right, along either side
of the television monitor. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can set them in
very close without worrying about the field distorting the TV picture.
NOTE: For maximum home-theater enjoyment, your audio system should also include a center-
channel speaker and a pair of rear-surround speakers. Contact your local Infinity dealer for recom-
mendations on adding these home-theater speakers to your system.
