Infinity Kappa 4100msb Soundbar – Detailed Review :

Sound Performance :

The Infinity Kappa soundbar is a 2-channel sound system. Each channel consists of a pair of 4-inch long-excursion midrange/woofers and a single 2-inch high-output edge-driven dome tweeter. The mids and woofers provide crisp midrange and bass. The tweeter delivers soaring highs. The combined effect of the drivers offers a balanced sound with intelligible vocals and rich instruments. The soundbar can be separated into 2 speaker towers. This lets you optimize the sound and customize the installation of the system as per your requirement. To do this, you will need the Harman SK-300 separation kit which you will have to purchase separately. The kit has a 3-meter bridge umbilical cable, and rear and bottom filter plates, which will help you set up your system as 2 separate speakers. The kit will afford you more flexibility in terms of how and where you would like the speakers to be mounted. The Infinity Kappa soundbar has 2-channel full-range left and right audio outputs. You can add a powered subwoofer to jack up the bass, or throw in an external marine amplifier to make the music louder and more intense. The soundbar is powered by a Class D amplifier with multiple inputs. Each channel gets 80 watt RMS power which makes the audio signal more robust. Total power of the amplifier is 120 watts x 2. The soundbar has a frequency response of 50Hz to 20kHz and a maximum SPL (sound pressure level) of 100dB. In our opinion, for outdoor conditions with plenty of wind, water and engine noises, this soundbar is an excellent choice. It checks out all the audio requirements from volume to intelligibility to bass. Its powerful amplified speakers ride over surrounding distortions to give you the best sound possible.

The device is protected against sudden surges in current, overheating and DC offset. An LED indicator flashes to let you know when the amplifier shuts down and goes into protection mode. The speaker bar has a function called Party mode which allows you to pair it with 3 Bluetooth devices at a time so you can share the playlist with friends. Music streams from the last-paired device and pauses other AVRCP-compatible devices. A red LED output display in front of the bar flashes in sync with the music. A dual-level LED down light keeps the deck area lit up. It provides enough ambient brightness to read maps and do small jobs. The amplifier has Bluetooth, 3.5mm AUX and RCA inputs.
