About the Infinity Reference RC252

Dave Bar

The center of attention

You can count on the Infinity Reference RC252 to deliver top-notch center channel sound for your home theater. This speaker takes advantage of Infinity's exclusive driver technology to ensure that you'll clearly hear movie dialogue with lifelike detail and realism. Its design blends in perfectly with Infinity's line of Reference speakers for creating a seamlessly matched home cinema system.

High-tech CMMD™ drivers for exhilarating performance

Infinity Reference R152

Infinity Reference speakers owe their open, natural sound to Infinity's patented Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm driver material. CMMD combines layers of ceramic with a stiff metal core for crystal-clear sonic performance. It's strong and durable, yet incredibly lightweight and responsive to the audio signal, providing the accuracy needed to hear your music just the way it was recorded.  

The RC252's 1" CMMD dome tweeter delivers crisp, sparkling highs. Its Advanced Waveguide design provides better high-frequency dispersion for smooth, seamless sound across a wide listening area. You'll enjoy outstanding clarity and definition, even when you're not sitting dead center.

The speaker's detailed midrange and dynamic bass come courtesy of dual 5-1/4" CMMD high-output woofers in a sealed enclosure. Infinity carefully computer-optimized the crossover networks, as well as each driver's position within the cabinet to ensure the most precise sound possible.

Build a complete Reference system

The RC252 makes a perfect center-channel match for Infinity's Reference series speakers. Use it with a pair of R152 or R162 bookshelf models or R253 floor-standing towers, then add the RS152 surround channel speakers to create a stunning Reference home theater system. And don't forget to add the perfectly matched Reference SUB R10 powered subwoofer to get deep, accurate bass in the mix.

Features

2.5-Way Speaker Design: The Infinity Reference series RC252 center-channel loudspeaker utilizes a two-and-a-half-way speaker design with a 1" CMMD tweeter that features an advanced image control waveguide and two 5.25" CMMD high-output woofers for natural, balanced sound.

Advanced Image Control Waveguide: The RC252's tweeter utilizes an advanced image control waveguide to deliver, more even high frequency response, no matter what part of the room you're in. The unique geometry of this waveguide delivers remarkable high frequency detail, imaging, and natural balance at nearly any listening position in a broad range of acoustic environments.

CMMD Technology: Infinity utilizes Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm (CMMD) technology in the tweeter and woofers that is much stiffer with more damping than standard metal speaker diaphragms.

  • For the tweeter, CMMD technology offers superior stiffness and damping compared to traditional metal domes, that provides a significant boost to the high frequency range.
  • For the woofers, CMMD offers exceptional pistonic operation over the entire usable range of the driver, completely eliminating unwanted coloration and distortion of the sound.

Acoustic Suspension Cabinet: The Infinity Reference series center-channel loudspeaker utilizes an acoustic suspensions (sealed) enclosure for accurate sound reproduction. The Infinity RC252 employs an extremely low resonance enclosure, so you hear the music exactly as it was intended. The RC252 features a black wood grain vinyl cabinet that matches almost any decor. The speaker comes with a removable black cloth grille with a rigid plastic frame.

Binding Posts: The 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, and dual banana plugs. The speaker's binding posts are color-coded (red/black) for easy identification between positive and negative.

Rubber Feet: The Infinity RC252 comes with four self-adhesive rubber feet to help secure the speaker in place to prevent slippage and vibration, plus protect your AV cabinet, stand, or shelf. The rubber feet add approximately 0.1875" to the overall height of the speaker. There are no threaded inserts or keyhole slots on the back panel of the speaker for wall-mounting. However, you can use PinPoint's adjustable wall-mount bracket (121AM15B, sold separately) to wall mount the center-channel speaker.

Placement: The RC252 center-channel loudspeaker can be placed above or below your television. The speaker should be centered with your TV and aimed at the main listening area. Also, try to position the center speaker at ear level (if possible).
