About the Infinity Reference RC263
Sound that puts you front and center
Add powerful center channel sound to your home theater with Infinity's Reference RC263. This speaker uses patented Infinity technology to dish out crystal-clear dialogue and potent special effects that will pull you right into the on-screen action. 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 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 RC263'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.
A 4" flat-piston CMMD midrange supplies the speaker's critical mid- and high-frequency sounds. Its unique flat cone design reduces sound diffraction to improve vocal and dialogue intelligibility. A dedicated sub-enclosure around the driver eliminates interaction with the woofers, further enhancing midrange clarity.
The speaker's powerful, dynamic bass come courtesy of dual 6-1/2" 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 RC263 makes a perfect center-channel match for Infinity's Reference series speakers. Use it with a pair of R263 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
3-Way Speaker Design: The Infinity Reference series RC263 center-channel loudspeaker utilizes a three-way speaker design with a 1" CMMD tweeter that features an advanced image control waveguide, a 4" CMMD low-diffraction midrange driver, and two 6.5" CMMD high-output woofers for natural, balanced, and intelligible sound.
Advanced Image Control Waveguide: The RC263'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, midrange, 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 midrange and 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 RC263 employs an extremely low resonance enclosure, so you hear the music exactly as it was intended. The RC263 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.
Dual Binding Posts: The Infinity Reference series center-channel speaker features dual 5-way, gold-plated binding posts that can accept bare wire (up to 8AWG), spade-lugs, pin-connectors, and banana plugs (single or dual). The two sets of binding posts are shorted together by gold-plated jumpers. With the jumpers removed the RC263 can be bi-wired or bi-amplified.
Rubber Feet: The Infinity RC263 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 RC263 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).

The clarity is impressive. Voices are crystal clear. This speaker gives you the sound of much more expensive speakers at an affordable price. Bass is top notch. This speaker is equivalent to a $1,000 center or better.
