PLACEMENT

Since the installation of a subwoofer can be somewhat more complicated than installing full-range speakers, it is essential that you read this section very carefully prior to connecting the subwoofer to your system. Should you have questions relating to your installation, it is advisable 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 and how you align the subwoofer with its satellite speakers. Setting the volume of the subwoofer in relationship to the left and right speakers is also of critical importance because it is essential that the subwoofer integrates smoothly with the entire system. Setting the subwoofer’s volume level too high will result in an overpowering, boomy bass. Setting the volume level too low will negate the effect of the subwoofer.

SOFA

Generally speaking, the closer the subwoofer is placed to a room boundary (walls and corners), the more bass output there will be. If you are hearing too much low-frequency sound in relation to the rest of the program material, move the subwoofer further from the corner or wall. Conversely, if, after making all adjust- ments, there is still not enough low-frequency energy, move the subwoofer closer to a wall or corner.

Here are several additional facts on installation that may prove useful. It is generally believed by most audio authorities that low frequencies (below 125Hz) are nondirectional and, therefore, placement of a subwoofer within any listening room is not critical. While in theory it is true that the larger wavelengths, of extremely low frequencies, are basically nondirectional, the fact is that when installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a room, reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the room will strongly influence the performance of any subwoofer system. As a result, specific location of the subwoofer becomes important, and we 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 (for example, whether or not your room permits placement of the subwoofer near either satellite).

1.2s specifications

The Infinity 1.2s is a revolutionary advancement in the world of audio technology, specifically designed for audiophiles and sound enthusiasts who demand superior sound quality. This state-of-the-art speaker system boasts a range of features that ensure impeccable audio performance, making it a popular choice among professionals and casual listeners alike.

One of its standout characteristics is its exceptional frequency response. The Infinity 1.2s is engineered to deliver a wide frequency range, allowing it to reproduce both deep bass and crisp treble with remarkable accuracy. This enables listeners to experience music as it was intended by the artists, with each instrument and vocal nuance clearly pronounced.

Incorporating advanced driver technology, the Infinity 1.2s features a combination of woofers and tweeters that work in harmony to create a balanced sound profile. The woofers are crafted from high-quality materials to minimize distortion while maximizing bass response, ensuring that low-frequency sounds are powerful yet controlled. Meanwhile, the tweeters employ cutting-edge technology to deliver high frequencies that are both detailed and smooth.

Another significant technology embedded in the Infinity 1.2s is the innovative crossover design. This sophisticated crossover network effectively divides audio frequencies between the woofers and tweeters, which enhances the speaker's overall performance by ensuring that each driver operates within its optimal range. The result is a seamless transition between low and high frequencies, producing a cohesive sound that is rare in many consumer-grade speakers.

The build quality of the Infinity 1.2s is also noteworthy. Constructed from durable materials, the cabinets are designed to minimize resonance and vibrations, which can muddy sound quality. This focus on sturdy construction not only enhances audio fidelity but also contributes to the longevity of the speakers.

Furthermore, the Infinity 1.2s is equipped with versatile connectivity options. It can easily adapt to various audio setups, whether wired or wireless, offering compatibility with a range of devices and systems. This flexibility makes it a great choice for both home theater systems and high-fidelity audio playback.

In conclusion, the Infinity 1.2s stands out in the crowded audio market due to its impressive sound reproduction capabilities, advanced technologies, and rugged construction. Whether for professional use or personal enjoyment, these speakers offer a remarkable listening experience that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning audio enthusiasts.
