Infinity TSS-SUB4000 - Manual (Page 3)

G LORIOUS B ASS .
The 400-watt TSS-4000
powered subwoofer features
a 12" MMD driver and
Infinity’s remarkable Room
Adaptive Bass Optimization
System ™ (R.A.B.O.S. ™ ), which
precisely tunes bass output to
the acoustic characteristics
of any room.
As the quality of low bass is
determined as much by the
room as it is by the loudspeaker
system, R.A.B.O.S. takes the
all-important low frequencies
to new depths.
Due to their long wavelengths,
low-frequency sounds reflect
back and forth in a room,
alternately reinforcing and
subtracting selective
frequencies. These room
resonances can create
exaggerated “boomy” bass
and/or diminished bass
output, depending upon
the listening position.
The TSS-4000 subwoofer system
uses a refreshingly simple and
effective approach to achieving
smooth bass response. In effect,
it’s optimized it to the listening
room once it’s in place.The
TSS-SUB4000 will sound better
in more typical listening room
configurations than any other
subwoofer in its class.

The solid, extruded-aluminum
enclosures of TSS-4000
satellites and center channel
speakers are more than just
a design statement; they’re
a performance enhancement.
Highly rigid, they reduce
unwanted resonances even
at high listening levels.
MMD ® R ESPONSIVENESS .
TSS-4000 drivers use Infinity’s
proprietary MMD ® cones
throughout. Derived directly
from Prelude MTS technology,
the drivers are arrayed in a
unique three-way design to
maximize both frequency
response and power handling.
Infinity’s high-frequency
waveguides deliver more
accurate sound across a
larger listening area.
Stiffer, lighter, stronger.
The MMD cone is superior
to other commonly used
materials in virtually
every performance
characteristic.
MMD cones. They conduct
sound faster than paper,
polypropylene and Kevlar,
®
pushing unwanted
resonances beyond
the operating range
of the transducer.
Highly evolved.
MMD cones are derived
from the same technology
used in Infinity’s flagship
Prelude MTS.

Metal Matrix Diaphragm

Infinity’s TSS-4000 system
didn’t begin with a clean sheet
of paper. It began with the
groundbreaking technologies,
materials and manufacturing
techniques of Prelude ® MTS,
Infinity’s critically acclaimed
flagship system. For more than
35 years, Infinity has built on
the innovations of its landmark
loudspeaker systems to set
new, ever-higher standards of
performance, simplicity and
design. With TSS-4000,
Infinity’s engineers continue
the tradition, creating a total
home entertainment system of
exquisite performance and
uncommon beauty.

midrange drivers and an
MMD-dome tweeter in the
center. Utilizing a three-way
design improves performance,
delivering clean, detailed mid
and high frequencies with
added bass impact, even from
modestly powered amplifiers.
