DESCRIPTION
The IPS10E-I is an self-powered and internally Infra™ processed single 10” bass
system designed for permanent installation. The internal Bag End® Minima 3™
amplier and Infra™ processing provides for convenient implementation and wiring.
The internal Infra™ integrator, amplier and loudspeaker process the full range signal
into a at response low frequency acoustic output. The Dynamic Filter™ protection
threshold is internally preset to eliminate distortion or accidental overload. This insures
the maximum output and robust system protection with virtually no audible effect.
The audio input incorporates an InGenius® balanced line receiver, providing very high
common mode rejection, to eliminate noise often present in systems with less
optimized grounding and wiring schemes.

IPS10E-I INFRASUB
ABOUT INFRASUB™ TECHNOLOGY
Almost all designs and specications for subwoofer
systems are xated on the frequency response domain.
However, the impression of power and quality of a
loudspeaker is equally related to the time domain. The
long wavelengths associated with low frequencies make
this particularly true with subwoofers. Likewise, the
maximum SPL is not a very reliable way to judge the
impact of a subwoofer. A poor time domain performer
will not have the same impact or natural musically
connected sound as a Time-Aligned™ Infra™ system.
The reason that an Infra™ subwoofer sounds
dramatically better is because of their superior time
domain performance, as well as their extended low
frequency response. The Infra™ subwoofer maintains
the bass energy in a tight packet, aligned with the upper
range signal, providing a greater body impact and a
seamless musical connection with the main
loudspeakers. Conventional subwoofer designs perform
so poorly in the time domain because designers have
used methods that sacrice the phase response for more
control over the frequency response (e.g.: steep low pass
lter slopes, vented speaker enclosures, and narrow
bandwidth systems). With the Infra™ technique, we do
not degrade the phase response while extending the
frequency response.
While the Infra™ dual Integrator does function as the
system crossover, it does so without using a
conventional low pass lter. The Infra™ integrator
applies an inverse electrical response to the acoustical
response of the Infra™ loudspeaker in its sealed
enclosure. This provides the extended frequency
response while maintaining the hi sound quality often
associated with a sealed box design. This design
approach requires the most amplier power to be used
at the lowest frequency, thus we implement the
Dynamic Filter™ technology to protect the system from
the bottom up, affecting the lowest frequency rst and
leaving the middle and upper bass unaffected. The
Dynamic Filter™ is a complimentary technology to the
Infra™ system taking unique advantage of the Infra™
design approach, to implement a reliable protection
scheme that is transparent and inaudible to the listener.
When comparing a genuine Bag End® Infra™
loudspeaker system to any other, our technology and
design is easy to hear and appreciate. The dramatic
clarity, realism, and overall pleasant sound of an Infra™
system is well noted throughout the world.
ABOUT MINIMA 3™ SELF POWERED
The Minima ™ amplier is both a high delity and a high
efciency amplier. With efciency well over 80%, it
provides more power to the loudspeakers, and creates
less heat in the amplier. In real world applications there
is practically no heat emitted from the amplier and thus
it requires no cooling fan. The AC power input
automatically adapts to any voltage between 88 and 270
volts.
ABOUT DYNAMIC FILTER™
The Dynamic Filter™ is a complimentary technology to
the Infra™ system taking unique advantage of the Infra™
design approach, to implement a reliable protection
TM
scheme that is transparent and inaudible to the listener.
Systems using the external rack mount Infra-MXB
processor require an appropriate threshold adjustment
that sets the ampliers power and sensitivity to the
Infra™ loudspeakers in use. When a system is asked to
do more than it is capable of, or if an accidentally large
signal is presented the threshold of the Dynamic Filter™
is crossed and the system protects itself from the bottom
up by reducing the lowest frequencies rst. Since the
most power and excursion is always required at the
lowest frequency, reducing the level of the lowest
frequencies rst avoids an overload, while at the same
time the system is able to reproduce the middle and
upper bass and leave the upper crossover region
unaffected. This is a very natural and inaudible method
to protect the system and unique to the Infra™
technology.
ABOUT BAG END® LOUDSPEAKERS
Bag End loudspeakers began in 1976 in a small shop by
people dedicated to the pursuit of making high quality
loudspeaker systems. Over the decades Bag End® has
employed the very best construction techniques and
innovative acoustical designs into their products. The
ground breaking introductions of the Time-Align® and
ELF™ Technologies into sound reinforcement and studio
monitor loudspeakers in the 1980’s was followed by
Minima One™ self-powered systems and the highly
unique E-Trap™, electronic bass trap. Over the decades,
Bag End® has been a leader in providing uniquely good
sounding products and extraordinary service to our
customers world wide.
