THE INFINITY PRIMUS SERIES.
PREPARE TO RAISE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
Experience home entertainment at
a new level of clarity and realism.
Let your favorite movies and music
capture you as never before.This
is where Infinity begins, and it’s
well within your reach.
PURE INFINITY PERFORMANCE.
Sound that commands your
focused, undivided attention,
transforming the act of listening
from passive to engaging.That’s
the Infinity heritage – and the
Infinity Primus promise.
A NEW BENCHMARK FOR VALUE.
The Infinity Primus Series is
designed to deliver a listening
experience unlike anything in its
price class, but we confidently
encourage you to reach your own
conclusion.
The MMD tweeter and waveguide deliver
wider,more even high-frequency response.
THE MMD®DIFFERENCE.
Unlike the paper,polypropylene or
Kevlar®cones found in similarly
priced speakers, MMD®cones
consist of a stiff aluminum core,
anodized on both sides for
increased strength and rigidity.
The result is extremely fast,
extremely accurate transducers,
producing a distinctly cleaner,
more realistic sound.
MUSIC,MOVIES…OR BOTH?
From unobtrusive bookshelf music
systems to dazzlingly powerful
home theaters, there’s an Infinity
Primus system that’s right for
every purpose and room in your
home.And you can choose from
three powered subwoofers, all
of which perfectly complement
the Infinity Primus speakers and
allow you to truly duplicate the
cinematic experience at home.
TECHNOLOGY,PERFORMANCE,DESIGN.
Performance, simplicity and style have
always been the hallmarks of Infinity
speakers. Now,the brand’s unchallenged
leadership in loudspeaker design
extends to the stylish new Infinity
Primus Series loudspeakers,inspired
by the award-winning Infinity
Cascade™Series models.
A HERITAGE OF EXCELLENCE.
The road to the Infinity Primus®
Series – a road lined with dozens
of audio milestones – stretches
back 40 years.
40 Years in which innovative
Infinity®technologies, materials
and manufacturing techniques
have advanced the science of
sound, again and again.
Infinity Primus Series speakers
benefit from every Infinity innovation
that has come before.They also
embody everything the brand has
learned about making captivating
sound affordable.
The brand’s flagship system,the Infinity Cascade Series.
Add the PS28,PS 210 or PS212 powered
subwoofer for incredible music and home
theater excitement.
Five-way binding posts provide secure
connection and easy setup.
