TheĀ Infinity Reference Standard (IRS) is an iconic loudspeaker system. Here are the key details:

  • Design: The IRS consists of four towers, standing at an impressive seven feet and six inches tall. Each tower serves a specific purpose.
  • Woofer Towers:
    • Each woofer tower features six 12-inch polypropylene woofers.
    • These woofers are driven by specially designed 1500 watts-per-channel servo amplifiers.
    • The servo system uses military-grade accelerometers and instantaneous feedback loops to minimize distortion and extend bass response.
  • Midrange/Tweeter Towers:
    • There are two midrange/tweeter towers.
    • Each tower contains 24 front-facing and 12 rear-facing EMITs (Electromagnetic Induction Tweeters).
    • Additionally, there are 12 midrange electro-magnetic induction drivers (EMIMs).
    • The beautiful rosewood cabinet wings of these towers are precisely curved to minimize diffraction and are sand-filled for vibration damping.
    • Separate, user-supplied amplification is required for the midrange/tweeter towers.
  • Frequency Response: The IRS achieves an impressive frequency response from 16Hz to 40kHz within plus or minus 2dB.
  • Evolution: The IRS evolved over time, with driver improvements leading to greater transparency and reduced colorations. The IRS V, the final iteration, achieved even greater coherency and seamless transitions between bass drivers and electromagnetic induction drivers.
  • Legacy: The IRS remains a dream for audiophiles, praised for its extraordinary soundstaging, lack of colorations, and fine resolution
