Frequently Asked Questions - TSS-4000 INFINITY

What is the Infinity TSS-4000?

The TSS-4000 is a speaker system from Infinity's Total Speaker Solutions series, including satellite (TSS-SAT4000) and center channel (TSS-CENTER4000) speakers designed for in-wall or on-wall installation using the TSS-FMK4000 flush-mount kit.

What is included in the flush-mount kit?

The TSS-FMK4000 kit includes: 2 End Brackets, 2 Mounting Blocks, 4 #8 x 1" Flat-Head Wood Screws, 4 #8 x 1-1/8" Pan-Head Wood Screws, and 2 1/4-20 x 3/4" Flat-Head Machine Screws.

Can I install the TSS-4000 speakers myself?

Yes, if you are comfortable with drywall cutting and basic wiring. However, for center channel installation with standard 16" stud spacing, modification (horizontal braces) may be required, which should be done by a licensed professional to comply with local building codes.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a screwdriver, a level, a drywall saw or jigsaw, a pencil for marking the template, and a drill for pilot holes if necessary. The template is not included in the content but is referenced in the manual.

How do I connect the speaker wires?

Speaker wires should be connected as described in the speaker's owner's manual (separate). Typically, you strip the wires and connect them to the speaker terminals before mounting the assembly.

Is the TSS-4000 suitable for use as bookshelf speakers?

No, the TSS-4000 is designed for in-wall/on-wall flush-mount installation. It is not intended for freestanding bookshelf placement.

How do I ensure the installation is level?

Use a level when positioning the template and ensure the brackets and speaker assembly are aligned horizontally. The manual emphasizes using a level for proper alignment.

Can I paint the frame to match my wall?

The frame is probably paintable, but the manual does not specify. It is recommended to test on a small area first or use paint compatible with plastic.

What is the warranty on the TSS-4000 speakers?

Warranty information is not provided in the manual. Contact Infinity or your dealer for details. Standard Infinity warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship.

Where can I download the full manual?

The manual is available for free download on notice-facile.com or other manual repositories. Search for 'Infinity TSS-4000 manual' to find the PDF.

Owner's Guide

INTRODUCTION

The TSS-FMK4000 allows you to recess a TSS-SAT4000 or TSS-CENTER4000 into the wall. When installed, the speaker will extend beyond the wall approximately 1."

Unpacking the Components

Finish unpacking the flush-mount kit and check the contents. If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.

Contents

Please verify that the package contains the following items:

(2) End Brackets

(2) Mounting Blocks

(4) #8 x 1" Flat-Head Wood Screws

(4) #8 x 1-1/8" Pan-Head Wood Screws

(2) 1/4-20 x 3/4" Flat-Head Machine Screws

Important Notes:

1) In order to horizontally flush-mount the TSS-CENTER4000 in a wall with standard 16" spacing between the studs, some modification to that area of the wall will be necessary. This type of installation will require a professional licensed contractor to install horizontal braces that comply with the customer's local building codes.
2) For a satellite installation, follow all the steps but cut the hole in a vertical direction, perpendicular to the floor. See exploded view on page 7.

Step One

Remove both end caps of the speaker by unscrewing the single center screws.

Step Two

Attach both of the end brackets to the speaker ends with the 1/4-20 x 3/4" flat-head machine screw, as shown.

Step Three

After you have found the correct placement on the wall for the speaker, use the template provided to draw the exact-sized hole required. Make sure to use a level when positioning the template to ensure that your installation is level. Then cut out the drywall to create the hole.

Step Four

Place the mounting blocks inside the hole at either end. Use two #8 x 1" flat-head wood screws to secure them in place.

Step Five

Attach speaker wires as described in the speaker's owner's manual and, using four #8 x 1-1/8" pan-head wood screws provided, screw the speaker assembly into place, making sure that the screws anchor themselves into the mounting blocks behind the drywall.

Step Six

Apply the sealing strips to either side of the speaker to cover the remaining openings of the cutout in the drywall.

Step Seven

Remove the paper cover from the gasket on the speaker-facing side of the frame. Place the frame over the in-wall assembly and snap it into place.
