F igure 5. This example shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals.
FIGURE 4.
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.
Step 3.
Place the speaker on the wall by aligning the keyholes on the back of th\
e
speaker to the screwheads on the wall. Once positioned properly, the
speaker should slide down slightly and become secure.
T he 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.

W IRING THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any
connections.
F or 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.
T he 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 owners 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

W ALL -M OUNTING THE PRIMUS 1 40 AND
PRIMUS 15 0
T he 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.
NOTE: T he 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.
