Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 THX Certified Speakers

Product Information

Some of the new high quality personal audio systems are being produced by startup companies, and some by computer accessory companies. This article will cover what is included in the box, as well as how to connect the system together to get rocking fast! The amp cover plate gets a little warm after an hour of hard use (maybe 85 or 90 deg F, slightly cooler than body temp) and gets a little cooler, but still above ambient when the amp is on, but not amplifying anything.

I found that the original polarity on the sub was intentionally reversed (not sure why), so when I reconnected it to the new amp, I tested the phase alignment between the sub and the satellites. At the other end of the frequency spectrum, we can see the extended low end response of an 8 inch 'home theatre' sub compared to a 6.has stuck around since the Creative Megaworks days and survived till now (although I heard that the sound may not be the same in the newer, current revisions). The quick, throbbing bass pushed the rhythm on The War on Drugs’ “Victim” while the distorted guitars were easy to hear above the mix. Main and Subwoofer Volume knobs sit along a plastic panel, along with a green Power LED, below the right speaker's grille. You connect each satellite to the sub with the included speaker wire, and you also plug a wire from the right satellite into the preamp input on the sub. You might want to try using your phone just to test a different device or some other source to rule out your if its the sub or something else.

The picked guitars on Fleetwood Mac’s “Never Going Back Again” sounded warm and realistic, as did Lindsey Buckingham’s voice. The sub was considerably lighter without its electronics, which amounted to more than half of its original weight. The fabric grilles match the company's Heritage speakers, while the luxe "wood grain vinyl" finish comes in black or walnut. Music played through the Klipsch ProMedia system has a more musical sound and a livelier "feel" than music played through any multimedia sound systems I have yet auditioned. To be honest I kind of miss having these connected to my TV, although the Klipsch ProMedia gets a lot more use when connected to my computer in the YT Studio.For people who think lightweight, plastic speakers are normal, and who think speakers are supposed to sound tinny, Klipsch will be a new name. Two medium-sized, shielded, satellite speakers designed to flank the monitor, and a box-shaped, subwoofer intended for floor placement comprise the system. To remove, simply apply a sufficient "push" to the front of the control pod and it will slide off the speaker as you push it back.

All Klipsch® Certified Factory Refurbished audio products pass the same strict performance standards as our brand-new products and carry little or no blemishes or imperfections. The obvious solution was for a company to produce a high quality sound system for use with a computer or other personal audio device, such as a portable CD or MP3 player. I pulled the original plate amp off the sub and replaced it with a sheet of aluminum (I reused the original gasket). In addition, it seems as though the 7cm mid-bass drivers are not carrying enough of the mid-bass; the sub-woofer seems to handle frequencies higher than it should.

incorporates individual ultra-low noise amplifiers that are custom designed to maximise system performance and eliminate the need for separate electronics or amplifiers. I was curious if that would make a difference too, but when I listened to the finished mod, it sounded really good, so I didn't do anything to try to reclaim that volume. While the mid-to-high frequencies sounded crisp and clear, the sub seemed to offer more rumble than clarity--the bass line and the kick drum were nearly impossible to separate, and fiddling with the sub level didn't help clear things up. What's surprising to me that this sub is this very compact compared to a lot of Soundbar subwoofers I have tested in the past.
