ADAPTABLE.
Infinity doesn’t expect you to
adapt your room to the needs
of your audio system –
quite the opposite,in fact.
Note that the Modulus II
tweeter is mounted below the
woofer. This configuration
places the tweeter at ear
level in more applications,
resulting in better imaging
across a wider listening area.
The R.A.B.O.S. sound-level meter
is used with parametric-equalization
controls located on each Modulus II
subwoofer.
THE MODULUS TECHNOLOGIES.
HIGHLY EVOLVED,HIGHLY RATED.
Infinity’s engineers introduced the CMMD and
R.A.B.O.S.technologies with the company’s
flagship Prelude MTS system.By every
objective scientific measure, these were
groundbreaking innovations.And both critics and
audiophiles concurred with this view.
Prelude was a triumph – the triumph upon which
Modulus II has been built.

RANSDUCERS.
Transducers are the engines of sound in
a speaker system – and the diaphragms
are a transducer’s pistons. Engineers have long
sought an ideal diaphragm material:
stiff enough to provide uniform contact
with room air, extremely lightweight to react
quickly to musical impulses, and acoustically
neutral to eliminate internal resonances at
audible frequencies.
The best traditional materials (felted paper,
polypropylene and even titanium) have
traditionally satisfied only two of the three
criteria.With patented Ceramic Metal Matrix
Diaphragms,Infinity’s engineers have realized
a long-sought goal.
They began with a ceramic compound called
alumina.Three times stiffer than titanium – and
eighty-five times stiffer than felted paper –
alumina is light enough to deliver extremely
accurate pistonic motion in midrange and
low-frequency transducers.Equally important,
it conducts sound at nearly double the speed of
any previous material,rendering natural
diaphragm resonances inaudible.
However, there’s a drawback. Pure alumina is
extremely brittle and would immediately shatter
in normal speaker operation.To solve the
problem, Infinity engineers deep-anodized
alumina to both sides of a low-density
aluminum substrate, creating a matrix that is
extremely rigid, yet lighter than pure ceramic.
For Prelude MTS and now for Modulus II,CMMD
transducers dramatically reduce distortion,
producing a more natural,detailed sound.
ROOM ADAPTIVE BASS OPTIMIZATION

In nearly all environments, the quality of the
bass is determined as much by the room as it is
by the speaker system. Because of their long
wavelengths,low-frequency sounds reflect back
and forth in a room, alternately reinforcing
and exaggerating some frequencies,while
subtracting from and diminishing others.
Of course, no subwoofer can be designed
in advance to anticipate exactly where it will
be used. But with its proprietary R.A.B.O.S.
technology,the Modulus II subwoofer can be
optimized for your room once you get it in place.
After studying literally thousands of real-world
listening rooms,Infinity engineers discovered
that many rooms share a large single
resonance peak, usually between 40Hz and
100Hz. Neither broad-brush tone controls nor
conventional graphic-equalizer adjustments can
properly compensate for it.But parametric
equalization, a sophisticated frequency
adjustment favored by audio engineers, can.
R.A.B.O.S.technology, built into the Modulus
subwoofer, effectively corrects primary
room resonance peaks without introducing
distortion.The three easily adjusted controls on
the subwoofer, a sound-level meter and a special
calibration CD allow you to tailor the subwoofer
to your space and experience deep, detailed
bass.
