Infinity Classia loudspeakers share a
heritage of technological and design
excellence dating back 40 years.
In multichannel home theater systems
and stereo systems alike, they bring real
power and exceptional sonic fidelity to
both movies and music, elevating the
home entertainment experience to a
new level of realism.
Infinity Classia loudspeakers deliver
the resonance-free, full-spectrum
performance needed to accurately
reproduce today’s high-definition
digital sources. And their graceful,
low-profile design, inspired by the
Infinity Cascade™ Series, makes them
an ideal complement for today’s high-
definition flat-panel monitors.

Infinity Classia speakers were developed
with high-definition programming in
mind, delivering audio performance that
enhances today’s stunning video images.
A complete 5.1- or 7.1-channel system
won’t just surround you with clear, precise
ultrahigh-frequency effects, distinct
center-channel dialogue and the kind of
bass you feel, as well as hear – it may
actually improve your perception of the
video itself. And Infinity Classia systems
are likely to uncover subtleties even in
music you know by heart. Available in
high-gloss black or real-wood cherry
veneer, these speakers are an elegant,
captivating choice for people who take
their movies and music seriously –
and who can handle the truth.

All Infinity Classia transducers
feature patented Infinity CMMD
technology. Manufactured of a
ceramic compound bonded to a
metallic substrate, they are at once
strong, rigid and fast – everything
the ideal diaphragm should be.
Delivering accurate pistonic response
across the full frequency range of
the driver, CMMD transducers
produce a dramatically natural,
distortion-free sound.
Ultrathick baffles provide a rigid, stable platform
for the drivers while simultaneously minimizing
unwanted edge diffractions off the baffle.

40kHz re s P o ns e .
The audio portion of today’s high-
definition digital sources is pushing
consumer audio beyond the limits
of the human ear.
But Infinity Classia speakers feature
high-frequency drivers that extend
to 40kHz, delivering nuances you
may never have experienced before
in recorded audio.
With the Constant Acoustic Impedance (CAI)
waveguide, the full effect of the CMMD tweeter
can be realized, resulting in cleaner, more uniform
sound throughout your listening environment.
CaI™ wa v e g uI d e s.
Acoustic waveguides can improve
a loudspeaker’s on- and off-axis
high-frequency response. But Infinity
Classia Series speakers feature
patented Infinity Constant Acoustic
™
Impedance
which create more dynamic hea-
droom by increasing the sensitivity of
the high frequencies. That allows for
a simpler, more effective crossover
design, enabling a seamless sonic
transition between the tweeter and
the lower-frequency transducers
in both two- and three-way designs.

The C255ES offers selectable
monopole/bipole/dipole settings.
The C255ES allows you to connect each side
separately, giving you two discrete speakers
from a single enclosure.
sP e CI a l au d Io eff e C ts .
In addition to bookshelf and
floorstanding loudspeakers, the
Series includes the uniquely versatile
C255ES surround speaker. Wall-
mountable, with selectable monopole,
bipole or dipole configurations, the
C255ES is capable of reproducing
two discrete audio channels at
once. So it can act as a single-point
2-channel loudspeaker in smaller
rooms, or upgrade a 5-channel home
theater to 7 channels all by itself.

The Infinity Bass Optimization System™
delivers deeper, more detailed
low frequencies by reducing the
exaggerated bass peaks that some
listening rooms produce. Add the
optional R.A.B.O.S.™ kit to more
precisely calibrate bass response for
your particular room.

Deep, realistic bass is an essential
element of the cinematic experience.
But it’s just as essential in dupli-
cating live musical performances.

Crossover design can be optimized with shortened
signal paths, yielding cleaner sound reproduction.
All models utilize heavy-duty, gold-plated binding
posts to ensure long-term signal transfer and
easy connection to any system. The C336 is also
bi-wirable.
The sophisticated Infinity 72-point frequencyresponse measurement, conducted in one of our
four anechoic chambers, allows for accurate
analysis of a speaker’s total performance before
the listening tests even begin.
