Infinity QPS-1 – Owner’s Manual
◆1
INTRODUCTION
Infinity QPS-1 speakers are a pair of mirror-imaged, surround-sound speakers with an
advanced quadrapole design that creates a non-specific sound source over a wider-than-
usual listening area. This unique surround speaker design provides greater flexibility in
speaker placement without sacrificing performance.
The QPS-1’s elegant, thin-profile enclosure (in a black or white finish) is made to
complement your home furnishings and its integrated display stand provides easy
placement on a convenient shelf or table. Or, if you prefer, you can mount the QPS-1
speakers on side or back walls by using the built-in, direct-mount keyhole.
Please read the remaining pages before connecting and operating the Infinity QPS-1
speakers. Maximum performance is dependent on following these instructions, as well
as those listed in the owner’s manuals of associated components in your home theater
system. Save these instructions for future reference. These speakers are covered by a
limited five-year warranty, so save the bill of sale to protect your purchase and aid in any
service-related questions.
UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS
Finish unpacking the speakers and check the contents. If you suspect damage from transit,
report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping cartons and
packing materials for future use.

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
To help plan your home theater system, we’ve included two system applications, as
shown in Figures 1 and 2. The first one represents a typical living room where the home
theater system is the main focus. In the second application, the furniture is arranged for
fireplace viewing and the entertainment center is in a corner.
Since QPS-1 surround speakers are a quadropole design, exact placement is not critical.
For best results, position the speakers so they are level with or behind the listeners
(typically seated on a couch). Place them at or above ear level (28" or 0.7m, depending
on the available shelf or wall space). Make sure the speaker marked left (on its rear
label) is on the left side (as you face forward), and the speaker marked right is on the
right side (see Figure 1).
Set each speaker on any convenient shelf or table via a built-in display stand (see Figure
3 on page 4). Or use the built-in keyhole (see Figure 3 on page 4) for a more permanent
mounting method.

Figure 3. Use the built-in keyhole to mount
QPS-1 surround speakers on walls.
NOTE: Be sure to fasten each #8 x 11/2
"
Phillips-head wood screw into a wall
stud before hanging the speaker.
For wall-mounting, you can use the speaker’s keyhole (see Figure 3).
If you are unsure of how to safely and securely wall-mount a speaker, please ask a home
theater or hardware specialist for additional help.

Figure 4. QPS-1 surround speakers feature
gold-plated terminals that can be
connected in several different ways;
e.g., banana plugs, spade terminals
(not shown) and direct wiring.
WIRING THE SYSTEM
After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. First turn off all audio system
power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make the connections. Consult the owner’s manuals
(included with your amplifier, receiver or television) for connection and operation procedures.
QPS-1 speakers have gold-plated terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors (see Figure 4
below). Observe correct polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 5 (on
page 6).
Connect each
+
terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver or television to the respective
+
(red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the
–
(black) terminals in the same way.
Do not reverse polarities (e.g.,
+
to
-
or
-
to
+
) when making connections.
TESTING THE SPEAKERS
After placing and wiring the speakers, turn on audio system power. Follow the
instructions (packed with your A/V preamplifier or receiver) to calibrate the
Dolby
®
Pro Logic
®
or Dolby Digital channels. Most components include a built-in
test tone to help you balance the sound levels to all speakers in your system. During
calibration, verify that each QPS-1 reproduces the test tone. If not, check the wiring
connections and see the Troubleshooting chart (on page 7) for help.

The QPS-1 cabinet does not require any routine maintenance. When cleaning is needed,
first make sure power is off, and then use a soft cloth, pre-dampened with a solution of
mild detergent and water, to remove any fingerprints or to wipe off dust. DO NOT USE
ANY OTHER CLEANING PRODUCTS OR POLISHES.
The metal grille can be cleaned with gentle vacuuming.
