Klipsch introduces new compact size Home Cinema solution at CES.
With just two satellites, a subwoofer and an A/V center, the compact CS-500 uses digital processing circuitry to simulate the effect of a larger, five-speaker home theater system. “The cinematic depth of this little system is so great, you’ll find yourself scanning the room for the hidden center channel and rear speakers,” said Tony Ostrom, director of product planning.
Each satellite employs dual magnetically shielded 2.5-inch high output woofers and a 0.75-inch magnetically shielded tweeter mated to an exclusive Klipsch Tractrix Horn, a design that delivers genuine lifelike sound as well as produces more output using less energy. Klipsch is the only speaker manufacturer to utilize horn technology in all of its product lines. In fact, the cutting-edge research that drives the development of the company’s leading movie cinema speakers is also applied to the CS-500.
The down-firing subwoofer utilizes a 6.5-inch woofer and a built-in Class D amplifier that distributes 35 watts of power to each satellite and 100 watts of power to the subwoofer. Due to its compact size, this subwoofer can easily be hidden away while still delivering dramatic low-end effects.
The CS-500 system will become commercially available in April and carry a U.S. MSRP of $999.99.
