Since the installation of a subwoofer can be somewhat more complicated than installin full-range speakers, it is essential that you read this section very carefully prior to connecting th subwoofer to your system. Should you have questions relating to your installation, it is advisab to call either your dealer or Infinity’s Customer Service Department for advice.

The performance of the subwoofer is directly related to its placement in the listening room an how you align the subwoofer with its satellite speakers. Setting the volume of the subwoofer i relationship to the left and right speakers is also of critical importance because it is essential th the subwoofer integrates smoothly with the entire system. Setting the subwoofer’s volume lev too high will result in an overpowering, boomy bass. Setting the volume level too low will nega the effect of the subwoofer.

We recommend placing the subwoofer at least 2 to 3 feet away from a television or a computer disc-drive system to prevent smearing the colors of the TV picture or erasing of the magnet drive.

Here are several additional facts on installation that may prove useful. It is generally believed b most audio authorities that low frequencies (below 125Hz) are nondirectional and, therefor placement of a subwoofer within any listening room is not critical. While in theory it is true th the larger wavelengths, of extremely low frequencies, are basically nondirectional, the fact is th when installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a room, reflections, standing wave and absorptions generated within the room will strongly influence the performance of an subwoofer system. As a result, specific location of the subwoofer becomes important, and w strongly recommend that you experiment with placement before choosing a final location.

Placement will depend upon your room and the amount and quality of bass required (fo example, whether or not your room permits placement of the subwoofer near either satellite The HPS-500 utilizes a downfiring woofer with a hyperflared port at the rear of the enclosur Be sure to leave a minimum of six inches between the wall and the port on the HPS-500, or si inches between the wall and the passive radiators on the HPS-1000.

HPS-1000, HPS-500 specifications

Infinity HPS-500 and HPS-1000 are two innovative power supply units designed to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and advanced features for a wide array of applications. These models are particularly popular among professionals in sectors like telecommunications, data centers, and industrial automation, where consistent power delivery is crucial.

The Infinity HPS-500 offers a maximum output of 500 Watts, while the HPS-1000 is equipped to handle up to 1000 Watts. Both models are designed with flexibility in mind, boasting a wide input voltage range that allows them to function effectively in diverse environments. This adaptability makes them suitable for use in various geographic regions with varying power standards.

One of the main features of the Infinity HPS series is the incorporation of high-frequency switching technology. This technology not only enhances efficiency but also reduces heat generation, which is vital in preventing component wear over time. In addition, both models are equipped with a built-in active power factor correction (PFC) system, which optimizes energy usage and decreases energy costs by ensuring that the power drawn from the grid is utilized effectively.

Both the HPS-500 and HPS-1000 models come with comprehensive protection features, including over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit protection. These safety mechanisms help safeguard connected equipment and enhance overall system reliability. Furthermore, their compact design facilitates easy integration into various systems, making installation straightforward and efficient.

Another notable characteristic of the Infinity HPS series is their ability to operate at high efficiencies, often exceeding 90%. This not only translates to lower operational costs but also aligns with environmentally conscious practices by reducing overall energy consumption. Moreover, the models feature built-in monitoring capabilities that allow users to track performance metrics and health status in real-time, thereby streamlining maintenance and ensuring optimal operation.

In summary, the Infinity HPS-500 and HPS-1000 power supply units exemplify modern engineering with their high efficiency, robust safety features, and versatile application potential. Their design not only meets but often exceeds industry standards, making them a top choice for organizations seeking reliable power solutions.
