TECHNOLOGY
Intermezzo Series loudspeakers incorporate several innovative technologies that, when combined with many hours of subjective listening evaluations and our rigorous engineering standards, result in a loudspeaker that realistically and accurately reproduces the signal source with minimal distortion and coloration.

Completing the Experience

The technology and performance that make Infinity Intermezzo loudspeakers ideal for music listening also make them the perfect digital multichannel loudspeaker system.To complete a home theater system, Infinity has designed, to the same standards as for Intermezzo 2.6p, a matching 3-way center-channel loudspeaker and a 12," 850-watt powered subwoofer. We hope you enjoyed this brief introduction to the technology of Intermezzo loudspeakers. If you would like to further explore their technology and design, please ask your Infinity dealer for the C.M.M.D. and R.A.B.O.S. White Papers.The White Papers can also be downloaded from Infinity�s Web site at www.infinitysystems.com.

Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragms� (C.M.M.D.)
For decades, loudspeaker engineers have known that the ideal transducer should be stiff, yet light, and have high internal damping (damping is a material�s ability to absorb energy). Infinity�s C.M.M.D. transducer is a significant advance in transducer technology. Ceramic, a class of material new to loudspeakers, offers better performance than that of other materials. Ceramic is stiffer than metals and lighter than plastics and typical composite materials; it also offers improved damping. These ceramic-based transducers take us a giant step closer to the ever-elusive �ideal transducer.� In tweeters, C.M.M.D. technology offers stiffness and damping superior to that of traditional metals and soft-dome materials. In woofer and midrange applications, it offers accurate pistonic operation over the entire frequency range of the driver, completely eliminating coloration due to cone breakup and dramatically reducing distortion. And when ceramic-metal-matrix transducers are exposed to moisture, sunlight or extreme temperatures, their performance does not deteriorate. In addition to ceramic diaphragms, all the transducers incorporate magnetic shielding and rigid cast-frames that, through our FEA computer modeling and scanning-laser-vibrometer measurements, have been optimized to reduce resonances.This ensures minimal distortion and incomparable performance.

Unpacking the Product
Finish unpacking the speakers and check the contents. If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.

Room-Friendly Acoustical Design
One characteristic of forward-facing loudspeakers is that the sound output lessens as one moves away from the principal axis. This happens both horizontally and vertically and it means that radiated sounds that are reflected from the floor, ceiling and side walls will be lower in amplitude than direct, forward sound.This is usually a good thing. But, if the dispersion characteristics of the loudspeaker are different at various frequencies, the sound quality of the reflected sounds will be very different both from each other and from the first (i.e., direct) sound.The ears don�t ignore these differences; they perceive them as coloration, or as sound quality that�s been degraded. Intermezzo loudspeakers have been carefully designed to maintain a directional pattern that is similar at every important angle, on and off axis.The positive result is that both direct and reflected sounds arriving at the listeners� ears have similar timbral signatures.
