Harman International CEDIA 2008 booth tour


Harman International is comprised of a great many companies, so it's no surprise that it took two CEDIA booths to hold 'em all. We took our trusty camera through the both of 'em to check out the latest from the likes of Infinity, JBL, H/K and Mark Levinson, and we spotted JBL's fresh LS Series, Infinity's wireless subwoofers / Prelude Forty and a $15,000 SACD player from Levinson that made Sony's new $1,500 SCD-XA5400ES look dirt cheap. Have a walk around, the gallery's right down there.

Infinity's new subwoofers cut the cord

Infinity PSW310W subwoofer
Infinity is looking to clip that lonely cable that snakes from your audio rack to the subwoofer with its new lineup of PSW310W, PS212W and PS210W subs. The top model PSW310W (pictured) gets treated to a 10-inch ceramic-metal driver and 10-inch passive radiators, a 400-Watt amp and room tuning to tame nasty modes. The other two models make their way with 12- and 10-inch metal-matrix drivers for the PS212W and PS210W, respectively. Most importantly, though, all three models share the ability to beam your bass from the equipment rack to the sub via 2.4GHz transmitter. All models are available now for $1,199, $679 and $549 for the PSW210W, PS212W and PS210W, respectively.

Infinity debuts new flagship Prelude Forty speaker

Infinity Prelude Forty speakers
In case we forgot to mention it, CEDIA plays host to some seriously expensive toys -- take the new flagship speaker from Infinity, dubbed the Prelude Forty, for instance. The venerable brand from even before our audio-only days has churned out this new model for its 40th anniversary, and based on what we see, Infinity is not suffering from being "over the hill." The stops have been pulled out for the Prelude Forty, which sports exotic ceramic-metal composite construction across all the drivers, including the array of flat panel units on the front baffle. Coming in at heavy $6,000 each, you get your choice of black, cherry or rosewood finishes; but letting your dog in on audio fun with those 40kHz tweeters is priceless.

Infinity begins shipping Classia Series loudspeakers


Remember those toothsome Classia Series loudspeakers that Infinity introduced us to just before CES? Yeah, those beauties are finally making their way from the labs and into eager hands everywhere. The C205 bookshelf loudspeaker, C336 floorstanding speaker, CC225 wall-mountable center channel speaker and C255ES wall-mountable surround loudspeaker -- all of which boast "selectable monopole / bipole / dipole / dual-speaker operation" -- are shipping now to those in need. Oh, and if you didn't get your pre-order in, fret not, as Infinity would love to accommodate your audio wishes now for $349 to $899 per speaker.

Infinity intros Classia Series loudspeakers


Infinity is hitting us up with a new line of loudspeakers just in time for CES, and we must say, these beasts are quite the attractive bunch. Included in the family is the C205 compact bookshelf monitor, a wall-mountable center channel speaker (CC225), floorstanding tower (model C336) and a wall-mountable surround speaker with selectable monopole / bipole / dipole / dual-speaker operation (C255ES). Each of the aforementioned speakers utilizes CMMD driver technology, and while there's no word on the frequency response / power handling figures, we do know that the whole range -- which will be priced between $329 and $899 -- will be available in glossy black and cherry-wood veneer in "early 2008." Another shot after the jump.

Infinity and JBL's PS212W and CSS10W wireless subwoofers


Although the humble subwoofer is probably the least likely to require placement inside a space that's beyond cable reach -- or concealment -- thanks to its non-directional sound frequencies, JBL and Infinity have teamed up to solve the problem anyway. The PS212W is a 12-inch $679 400W sub with an included 2.4GHz wireless transmitter / receiver bundled: yes, that's 2.4GHz, the same frequency nearly all your other wireless kit uses. JBL's Cinema Sound CSS10W also uses this overused frequency for its wireless, but it's only 10-inch and 300W, and will retail at the lower price of $559 when it launches in January next year.

Harman Consumer Group's CEDIA booth tour


Harman Consumer Group, which holds H/K, Infinity, JBL, and Audioaccess under its umbrella, erected an expansive booth at this year's CEDIA. Unsurprisingly, home theater and in-wall speakers dominated the space, but quite a few amplifiers, receivers, and home control units were seen posing, too. Most notable among the noise was Infinity's PS212W (its first wireless subwoofer), Audioaccess' revamped W.H.E.N. (Whole-House Entertainment Network), an absolutely gigantic JBL loudspeaker, and a demo station that highlighted the H/K DMC 1000 media PC's ability to control content in four separate zones. Enough chatter, why not take a peek for yourself?
