Home Theater - Infinity Entra Center Owner's Manual

Infinity Entra Series
The Entra Series of loudspeakers continues Infinity's
longstanding commitment to accurate sound reproduction.
Our patented Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm
drivers, precision dividing networks, and rigid, well-braced
enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised performance in
any stereo or multichannel home-theater system. In addition,
Entra Series speakers are magnetically shielded for safe
placement adjacent to a television.

Before deciding where to place your Entra speakers, survey your
room and think about placement, keeping the following points
in mind, using Figure 1 as a guide:
• For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' apart.
• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately at
ear level.
• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved
closer to a wall or corner.
• Refer to "Home Theater" below if you also plan to use the
speakers for home-theater reproduction.

For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another
on the right along either side of the television monitor. Since the
speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them without
worrying about the field distorting the TV picture.
For rear-channel use, place Entra One speakers on bookshelves
or stands – or Entra floorstanding speakers on the floor –
alongside the listening position. Final placement depends on
room acoustics, availability of space and your listening
preference (Figure 2).
The center channel speaker should be placed on top of or
directly below the television and aimed towards the listening area.
NOTE: An Infinity powered subwoofer will add impact and
realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your Infinity
dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your
application.
