Know before you buy
Yes, this speaker is specifically engineered to function as a left, center, or right channel, making it a versatile choice for the front stage of your home theater system.
Yes, this is a passive speaker, meaning it does not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect it to an external AV receiver or power amplifier to drive the audio.
THX Ultra2 certification ensures that the speaker meets rigorous performance standards for output, frequency response, and distortion. It guarantees that the speaker is capable of delivering reference-level cinema sound in larger rooms.
Yes, the included grille is paintable, allowing you to blend the speaker discreetly into your wall décor for a clean, minimalist look.
While it is optimized for cinema, its horn-loaded compression driver and aluminum woofer provide excellent clarity and impact for music as well. It is timbre-matched to other Klipsch speakers, allowing you to integrate it into a high-performance multi-channel music or movie system.
Because this is an in-wall speaker, you should ensure your wall cavity is deep enough to accommodate the unit's housing. We recommend consulting the official installation template and manual to confirm the specific depth requirements for your wall construction.
