To Infinity and beyond! Infinity by Harman now at SSV!

Does anyone remember how popular Infinity Kappa speakers were back in the day? Well now they are back and better than ever! So if you are in Melbourne and looking for a vibrant audio product to add to your setup, look no further than the Infinity range at Street Sound & Vision.

Now a little bit about the Infinity brand and why we love it. Founded in the USA in 1968, Infinity has always been renowned for performance, technology and design. Their passion and enthusiasm to create the best audio systems only got greater when they were acquired by Harman in 1983. That seems like a familiar name doesn’t it? If you have ever experienced a great OEM audio system in a car, then you may have also noticed the Harman logo on the speakers. That’s right, worldwide there are now over 50 million vehicles getting around that feature a product from the Harman range in one way or another. And for good reason, the speakers are phenomenal and audiophiles are going crazy for them!

Why are we telling you all this? We at SSV are excited to reveal that we are now the exclusive authorised dealer for the Infinity range of car audio speakers and amplifiers in Melbourne and are fully stocked at all SSV locations (Thomastown, Keilor Park and Mitcham). We’ve got you covered Melbourne!

Let's take a quick look at some of the new and exciting products destined for your car audio system:

Infinity KAPPA Perfect 600

 Introducing Kappa Perfect, Infinity’s flagship line of Super-Accurate, Super High-Performance speakers. Kappa Perfect component speakers deliver high power handling, high SPL capability, and unparalleled response. They also feature high-end industrial design and available three-way configuration. With just the flick of a switch, you can transform a 2-way system into a 3-way system by adding the Kappa Perfect midrange speaker.

Harman-proprietary Plus One™ carbon fibre cones are specifically engineered to achieve the optimum blend of rigidity and sensitivity. The result is remarkably accurate sound, as well as exceptionally high SPL performance and low distortion.

The Lightweight yet rigid, high-definition edge-driven 30kHz polyimide tweeter in the Infinity Kappa Perfect component speakers reproduces high frequencies with meticulous detail—an Infinity hallmark. This not only brings out more of the music’s true character, it also improves sound staging capabilities.

With brushed metal with premium finishes, Kappa Perfect speakers and crossovers are as pleasing to the eyes as they are impressive to the ears.

Getting down to the nitty gritty with the specs of these guys, we have the power handling listed at 100wrms, with a sensitivity of 90db which makes for a killer combo if you want volume, yet the speakers manage to stay really refined and delicate. The sneaky part about these speakers is that the resting impedance is only 3.5 ohms, which allows these speakers to squeeze every little drop of power from the amplifier in use.  The frequency response covers all bases from 60 Hz right up to 30 kHz

If you are looking for a high end speaker that will wow you, head into any of the three SSV stores located around Melbourne, or grab them directly from our online store here:

Amplifiers just receive signal and you know ‘boost it up’ right? Infinity Kappa amplifiers offer Clari-Fi™ Technology which is a proprietary DSP technology which analyses music files and improves highly compressed digital music files in real time. A predictive algorithm restores audio content that is discarded in the compression process. Clari-Fi™ works with all playback devices and audio sources. It extends high-frequency bandwidth, restores the natural warmth of vocals and widens the sound stage. In short, Clari-Fi™ gives your digital music back its soul. Ensuring that their products are future proof, Infinity have included a mini-usb port for firmware upgrading your amp, so you know the backend support is available.

Every Kappa amplifier, including the full-range model, is a Class D. These high-efficiency, low-heat amps generate a lot of power without drawing much current and feature small footprints. Aesthetically this amp is as stylish as it is powerful. With brushed steel and screwdriver access concealed by a magnetically attached panel, Kappa amplifiers have a clean, streamlined industrial design.

Now for the hardcore guys here, let's check out some of the specs; boasting a decent 75 Wrms at 4 ohm on its for speaker channels (with a low <0.1% THD+N), and then the dedicated mono subwoofer channel reaches 200 Wrms at 4 ohm, with a hell of punch of 350 Wrms at 2ohms. The Signal-to-noise ratio is a neat >80db (ref 1W output @ 2Ω).
