New wireless whole-house system delivers company’s signature high-performance sound

There is a problem that many music and home theater fans share: where to put all those wires. Unless you are building a brand new house, running wires throughout your dwelling is a nightmare, so most music and home theater enjoyment is usually confined to one room in your house. In response, Klipsch is launching a high-end multi-room product series that can wirelessly stream high-performance sound throughout your home.

The new KlipschCast family lets you “build” a superior multi-room audio system for music and movies without having to wire, cut holes or tear up your house in any way.

Two products that Klipsch wowed the critics with at the giant CES Convention in January are the Klipsch RoomGroove Music Center and the 2007 CES Innovations Award winning CS-700 DVD Entertainment System. Read more

May 9, 2006 -- Following the success of its award-winning original silver iGroove, Klipsch is introducing the new iGroove HG.

Available in June, this system will be sold at mass and A/V specialty retailers for $249.99 (U.S. MSRP).

Unlike other docking speaker systems on the market, the Klipsch iGroove speaker system works with most all MP3 player brands, as well as devices that have audio out or headphone jacks utilizing standard miniplugs. All third and fourth generation dockable iPods dock into the iGroove for charging. The system comes with special iPod mini and nano adaptors for sturdy and secure docking. The shuffle may also be connected to the iGroove via the included J-cup adaptor. The Klipsch iGroove is also easy to operate – just plug it in, pop in an iPod and hit play. The included remote handles full system control. Read more
