Klipsch

Klipsch this week launched its highest performance subwoofer to date – the SW-115.

Built to deliver booming bass with low distortion, this subwoofer features a front firing 15-inch extra-long-throw driver and a BASH Digital Hybrid Amplifier for efficient, reliable power. Speaking of power, this baby can deliver as much as 400 watts of continuous power, with a bass response below 20 Hz. The subwoofers' front-firing port allows the SW-115 to blend into any setup without any loss of sound.

The SW-115 weighs in at a massive 69 pounds and can be fitted into a recess or cabinet for maximum output with minimal resonance. In addition, a WA port is located on the rear amp panel, which can be used with the Klipsch WA-2 wireless kit, allowing you to place the subwoofer almost anywhere in the room.Read more

Available in fall 2011, the Gallery G-17 Air delivers signature Klipsch sound via its two Tractrix Horn tweeters and dual 2.5-inch 20 watt woofers, while AirPlay technology allows for wireless iTunes streaming. Simply plug the G-17 Air into the wall, connect it to your wireless network, and you're ready to listen to content from your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (running iOS 4.2). The G-17 Air is also compatible with Android smartphones and tablets using the Android music player application. In addition to built-in Wi-Fi, it includes a 3.5mm input and USB port.

Also announced at the show is the brand's first active noise-cancelling headphones, Klipsch Mode M40; its only for-Android headset, the Image S4A; and a specialty headphone line inspired by the Klipsch Reference speakers.

First showcased at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Klipsch is happy to announce that its ultra-thin Klipsch Gallery speakers will be available on June 1, 2011. Offered in four passive models, these speaker systems deliver the same power and legendary Klipsch sound as the company's horn-loaded speakers, but feature a more modern look while at the same time, occupy less space.

The four new Klipsch Gallery speakers include three satellite models (G-12, G-16 and G-28, utilized as left, center, right or surround speakers (LCRS)) and one integrated LCR 3-channel soundbar (G-42), with the names representing their size in length in inches. Each speaker can be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical position.

The Klipsch Gallery speakers are produced with a titanium tweeter with linear travel suspension, loaded behind a new 90 x 90 Tractrix horn - all working together to offer reduced distortion, deep bass and an open, natural sound.Read more
