Infinity Alpha 50 Manual
You're home alone. Now's your chance to crank up your system! But sometimes, even the most capable bookshelf-and-subwoofer combo just can't send out the hair-raisingly huge, top-to-bottom sound you're looking for. However, a pair of really impressive towers can. Case in point: the Alpha 50s.Infinity, famous for years of speaker innovation and research, has pulled technology from much more expensive speaker lines for use in the high-performance Alpha Series. So you get C.M.M.D. (Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm) drivers: they're stiff, for precise, natural sound, but light enough to be very responsive.
Other Alpha highlights include solid, very well-braced cabinets, and high enough power handling and efficiency to permit really big, clean sound. And the Alpha 50 tower is the top of the line!The 50 showcases a 1' C.M.M.D. Tweeter, a 5-1/4' C.M.M.D. Midrange driver, and dual 8' C.M.M.D. Woofers, in an attractive ported cabinet. Together, these drivers produce sound that's crisp and uncolored at the top, full and lifelike in the middle, and stunningly deep and real when it comes to lows. The remarkably wide frequency response is measured at 35-22,000 Hz!

And thanks to the Alpha 50s' sensitivity rating of 91 dB and power handling of up to 200 watts, you can make your system sound gargantuan, without any real loss of accuracy. (Dying to biamp 'em? No problem the 50s offer biwirable, biampable gold-plated 5-way binding posts.)See why music fans love this kind of thing? But don't think music is all the Alpha 50 is good for. Paired with other Infinity Alpha speakers, the Alpha 50 towers make outstanding front left and right speakers in a home theater setup. And if you're not sure about positioning big towers in the middle of your living room, rest easy. These speakers are sleek and sophisticated to view, and available in either a black ash or cherry vinyl finish, for smooth, attractive integration into just about any type of decor.Recommended center channel: Infinity Alpha 37C.Recommended surrounds: Alpha 20 or Alpha 25ES.Read a at CrutchfieldAdvisor.com.
