help Infinity RS1B FAQ

What kind of speaker system is the Infinity RS1B?

The RS1B is a high-end Infinity reference system rather than a conventional small bookshelf speaker. Its design separates the upper-range panel section from the dedicated bass modules.

What are EMIM and EMIT drivers in the Infinity RS1B?

EMIM refers to Infinity's electromagnetic-induction midrange ribbon, while EMIT refers to its electromagnetic-induction tweeter. A reviewed RS1B upper-range column used seven EMIM drivers and four EMIT tweeters, including a rear-facing tweeter.

Why does the Infinity RS1B need careful setup?

Its planar midrange and tweeter panels interact strongly with room placement and level adjustments. The upper-range columns include controls for low-tweeter and high-tweeter output, so positioning and calibration affect the final balance.

Is the Infinity RS1B a late-1970s speaker?

The RS1B is generally associated with Infinity's 1980s reference line rather than the late 1970s. Its EMIM and EMIT technology reflects the company's planar-driver development that began in the 1970s.
