Infinity® PS210W/PS212W Powered Subwoofers

The PS210W and PS212W powered subwoofers continue the long- standing Infinity commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Proprietary technology and engineering resources work together to deliver uncom- promising low-frequency performance in any stereo or multichannel home theater system. Now, that same exceptional Infinity low-frequency performance is available wirelessly.

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 your dealer or visit www.infinitysystems.com for assistance.

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 relation to the left and right speakers is also of critical importance because it is essential that the subwoofer integrate 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 benefits of the subwoofer.

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 sub- woofer 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, the specific location of the subwoofer becomes important, and it is strongly recommended that you experiment with placement before choosing a final location. Since your new wireless subwoofer does not need to be physically connected to your receiver or processor, this process is now even easier.

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). Be sure to leave a minimum of six inches between the wall and the port on the subwoofer.

PS212W, PS210W specifications

The Infinity PS210W and PS212W are two standout speakers designed to deliver high-quality audio, making them ideal for both home theater systems and music playback. These two models reflect Infinity’s commitment to superior sound performance combined with modern technological advancements.

One of the main features of the PS210W and PS212W is their advanced driver technology. Both speakers employ a powerful 10-inch subwoofer in the PS210W and a larger 12-inch subwoofer in the PS212W, allowing for deep, rich bass response that enhances the overall listening experience. The subwoofers are designed to produce low-frequency sounds with precision, which is critical for both movie soundtracks and music.

Another characteristic of these speakers is their Enclosure Design. Both models utilize a ported design that significantly reduces distortion while enhancing the efficiency of sound delivery. This design allows for a refined output and ensures that the bass remains tight and controlled without becoming overwhelming.

In terms of connectivity, the Infinity PS210W and PS212W feature versatile options for integration into various audio systems. They come with line level inputs, speaker level inputs, and RCA inputs, making it easier for users to connect them to receivers or amplifiers. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment.

The PS210W and PS212W also incorporate advanced user-friendly controls, allowing listeners to tailor their audio experience. Built-in volume control, phase switch, and a low-pass filter enable users to adjust the sound output according to their preferences and room acoustics. This customization feature ensures that both models can be optimized for different environments, whether it be a cozy living room or a dedicated home theater.

Moreover, the sleek design of the Infinity PS series speakers enhances their aesthetic appeal. Clad in a modern finish, they not only perform well but also blend seamlessly with contemporary home decor. Their compact form factor makes them easy to place without occupying too much space.

In summary, the Infinity PS210W and PS212W speakers stand out for their deep bass response, versatile connectivity, advanced user controls, and elegant design. They are perfect choices for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience, whether it be for movies or music, providing rich, immersive sound that captivates listeners.
