Entices You To Listen
The Infinity TSS1100, six-piece, 5.1-channel speaker package will entice you into enjoying your favorite multichannel music and movies over and over again with realistic surround sound, deep, powerful bass, and crisp-sounding dialogue. The four SAT1100, 2-way satellite speakers (two front and two surround) each boast dual 3.5" midranges and a 0.75" tweeter while the voiced-matched center channel speaker features dual 3.5" midranges and a 0.75" tweeter for high-impact on-screen effects. TSS tweeters employ an acoustical waveguide to deliver a wider, more even high-frequency response. The bass is handled by a 12", 250-watt powered subwoofer, and every driver in the package incorporates Infinity's exclusive MMD transducer material technology. The satellites and center channel speakers are housed in high-style, brushed, extruded aluminum acoustic suspension enclosures inspired by Infinity's premium Prelude Series. This all-metal enclosure provides an extremely rigid structure, virtually eliminating cabinet resonances. Place the satellites on shelves or mount them on the wall with the included brackets. The center channel speaker comes with a curved pedestal that allows positioning at the proper angle, either on top of the television or below it. Magnetic shielding on the satellites and center channel speakers lets you place them close to the television without interference. All six speakers work in unison to create a seamless surround sound experience with movies and multichannel music, even the demanding high-resolution sources like SACD and DVD-Audio.
MMD Technology--Infinity Exclusive
Infinity's Metal Matrix Diaphragm (MMD) technology permits you to hear recordings--perhaps for the first time--exactly the way the artist or director intended. What can prevent this from happening are resonances, unwanted colorations, or distortions, of the sound reproduced by a speaker; and every transducer has its own unavoidable set of reasonances based on its physical characteristics. The trick is to build a transducer where the natural resonances are either above or below its audible range. To get this done, Infinity engineers developed Metal Matrix Diaphragm (MMD) transducer material, a sandwich made up of layers of ceramic alumina (5% of the total thickness top and bottom) anodized to a metallic aluminum core (the remaining 90% of total thickness). Among the stiffest materials known, alumina and aluminum were chosen because sound moves through them faster than through conventional transducer materials and the MMD sandwich responds to electrical signals very rapidly without coloring the sound at all. MMD technology is derivative of a similar patented sandwich material used on Infinity's premium speakers. At Infinity, elimination of resonances is paramount, whether at the top of the line or at the entry level. When other manufacturers claim that their transducers are ceramically coated, it's merely a cosmetic surface treatment. The TSS1100 incorporates MMD transducer material because Infinity knows the listener will be able to hear the difference.
Performance and Quality Tested
Before ever putting a speaker into production, Infinity engineers analyze a number of critical parameters, including: frequency response, spatial averages, phase response, and nonlinear distortion. Also analyzed are: sound quality (timbre and bandwidth), spatial quality (how well the speakers spread out the sound), stereo imaging, the multichannel soundstage (how strong the sound image is in front, behind, and to the sides), and dynamic capabilities (sound quality for very loud and very quiet inputs). The TSS1100 speaker package you bring into your home has been subjected to some of the most rigorous testing and analysis in the industry, all to assure you superb performance and superior quality.
You're the Judge
In the final analysis only you, the listener, can judge the performance of any speaker. Infinity does all it can to make certain that your verdict will be a good one. They employ listeners with naturally acute hearing and then train them to express what they hear in ways that help engineers identify what's right and wrong about the speaker. Only after the TSS1100 was rated best-in-class against other manufacturer's comparable products, was it ready for production. Infinity's dedication to creating good sound in any room, anywhere in the room, is a benchmark in the loudspeaker industry. Invisible, uncolored, unchanged, natural sound, exactly as the musician or director meant for you to hear it--that's Infinity.
