INDIANAPOLIS (January 6, 2005) — In response to dealer and consumer demand, Klipsch will soon launch silver versions of its popular RW-10 and RW-8 Reference Series powered subwoofers to match its silver line of RVX flat-panel audio solutions and RSX satellites.
The RW-10 employs a 10-inch woofer, while the RW-8 uses an 8-inch woofer to deliver deep, driving bass. Both feature silver-colored Cerametallic™ cones made of anodized aluminum, which makes them light and stiff. Giant magnets and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coils ensure efficient, reliable operation and, in combination with the mechanical characteristics of the cones, exceptionally low distortion.
Both of these compact subwoofers incorporate Klipsch's exclusive Corner Port™ technology. This advanced technology lengthens the subwoofer's port tube and smoothes the airflow within it, dramatically enhancing bass extension and output without increasing cabinet size.
These front-firing, front-ported models get their intensity from a newly designed amplifier that brings 400-watts of dynamic power to the RW-10 and 200-watts of dynamic power to the RW-8. Both have a continuously variable phase control, which facilitates ideal acoustical integration of the subwoofers with the other speakers in a system. This variable phase control is not found on many subwoofers; especially models in this price range, but it will increase bass response when properly adjusted. The easy-to-reach, side-mounted volume control on both models is another unique feature that makes both set-up and on-the-fly adjustments easier than conventional back-panel mounted volume controls.
Priced the same as their equivalent black RW subwoofers, the silver RW-10 will carry a U.S. MSRP of $499 and the silver RW-8 will carry a U.S. MSRP of $299.
