About the Infinity Primus 253BK
A great blend of style, performance, and value
A great blend of style, performance, and value
The Infinity Primus P253BK's clean styling and dynamic performance make it a great addition to any home audio system. Use a pair of these speakers for stereo listening, and they'll create a large "sweet spot" — you'll enjoy warm sound throughout your entire room. Or make them a part of an Infinity Primus home theater setup for high-impact movie sound effects. Either way, you'll experience precise imaging and a wide soundstage.
Designed and engineered for high-quality sound
The P253BK owes its performance to Infinity's exclusive Metal Matrix Diaphragm™ speaker material. This material uses a stiff metal core to add rigidity to the drivers, for clear, accurate sound. Two 5-1/4" woofers dish out detailed lows and mids, and a 3/4" tweeter produces highs with sparkling clarity. And the speaker's high sensitivity means that you won't strain your amp when you crank up the volume.
Build your own Primus system
A pair of the Infinity Primus P253BK towers will fill just about any room with dramatic, well-defined sound. Match them up with other Primus speakers, plus an Infinity powered subwoofer for deep, accurate bass, and create a stunning home theater system.
Recommended center channel: Infinity Primus PC250, PC251, PC350, or PC351.

Driver Technology
Metal Matrix Diaphragm (M.M.D.): Derived from the C.M.M.D. material used in Infinity's flagship Cascade series, M.M.D. features a stiff aluminum core, anodized on both sides for increased strength and rigidity. M.M.D. transducers conduct sound faster than paper, polypropylene, and Kevlar, pushing unwanted resonances beyond the operating range of the transducer. M.M.D. drivers deliver crystal-clear, distortion-free sound from dynamic digital sources, even at high listening levels.
Dual 5-1/4" Woofers: The dual 5-1/4" M.M.D. cone woofers offer extremely accurate midrange response for cleaner, more realistic sound. For a smoother response and improved durability, the woofers use rubber surrounds.
3/4" Tweeter: The speaker has a 3/4" M.M.D. dome tweeter that offers superior stiffness and damping compared to traditional metal domes.
Acoustical Waveguide: The P253's tweeter utilizes an acoustical waveguide to deliver, more even high frequency response, no matter what part of the room you're in.
Precision Crossover: Network: The speaker features a 2-way crossover system with crossover frequency at 2500Hz. The crossover has a 24dB/octave slope.
Enclosure Design
Wood Grain Vinyl Cabinet: The Infinity P253 features a black wood grain vinyl cabinet that matches almost any decor.
Bass Reflex Design: The Infinity Primus tower loudspeaker utilizes a bass reflex enclosure with a front-firing port for greater efficiency and bigger bass response.
Low Resonance Enclosure: The P253 employs a extremely low resonance enclosure, so you hear the music exactly as it was recorded.
Grille: The speaker comes with a removable black cloth grille with a rigid plastic frame.
Connections
5-Way Binding Posts: The 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, and dual banana plugs.
Color-Coded: The speaker's binding posts are color-coded (red/black) for easy identification between positive and negative.
Mounting Options
Outboard/Inboard Feet: The speaker comes assembled with attractive silver outboard feet. If desired, you can replace them with the supplied, less visible, black inboard feet. The feet can be changed with the use of a handheld Phillips-head screwdriver. The overall width is approximately 1" less, and the overall height is approximately 1/4" less when the black, inboard feet are used, compared to the outboard feet.
