GLORIOUS BASS.

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.

mounted atop the
optional floor stand.

Satellites and center channel
shown installed in the wall using
the optional flush-mount kit.

The Infinity R.A.B.O.S.kit is included
with every TSS-4000 subwoofer.

ALUMINUM RIGIDITY.

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®RESPONSIVENESS.

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.

The Infinity
Metal Matrix Diaphragm

™

(MMD).

BUILT ON THE TRADITIONS

OF

PRELUDE.

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.

THEE

LEMENTS OF

E

XCEPTIONALSOUND.

Four woofers at the top and
bottom surround a pair of
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.

TSS-4000 satellites and center may be wall-mounted
with included brackets,which allow you to aim the sound
at your listening area.

If in-wall installation is for you,
an optional flush-mount kit
makes it easy.

The included base for the center
channel allows you to direct the
sound toward the listening area
whether you place it above or
below the television.

Raise the height of your speakers to match
the height of your display on a shelf,table or
credenza with three included bases.

Available floor stands continue the contours of
your speakers for attractive floor placement.

COMPLETE.AND
COMPLETELY FLEXIBLE.

With a unique array of
advanced, high-performance
drivers housed in rigid extruded
aluminum enclosures, Infinity’s
TSS-4000 system will fill any
room with brilliant, distortion­free sound.

On the wall, on a table or in
the wall, the satellites and
center channel are designed
to perfectly complement the
look – and even the height –
of today’s latest 30," 42" or
50"+ plasma, LCD and DLP
displays.The satellites may
also be placed on floor stands
that are visual extensions of
the speakers themselves.In
short, the TSS-4000 system
is very accommodating of
a room and its aesthetics...
and the desire for outstanding
performance.

And because each TSS-4000
speaker is sold individually,
customizing the system to your
unique requirements is easy.
