Klipsch RP-1000SW Subwoofer
Klipsch are confident that this series of high performance subwoofers is the best they have ever made. Anyone familiar with their previous efforts will know this is a big call but we have come to expect great things from Klipsch and they always deliver. The RP-10000SW featured here is the entry level model which features a 10" Cerametallic bass driver and a 300 Watt amplifier (600 Watt peak) to drive medium sized rooms with ease. Of course if you need even more dynamic bass power you can always use two, or three, or four. Your call.
Hyper-Efficient Balanced Performance: Striking the optimal balance between amplifier power, driver capability and cabinet volume, Reference Premiere subwoofers achieve maximum low frequency extension with great output, accuracy and speed.
Spun Copper Front-Firing Cerametallic Woofers: Newly designed Cerametallic™ woofers are exceptionally light and extremely rigid, providing remarkable low frequency response with minimal cone breakup and distortion for higher, cleaner output using less amplifier power.
High Efficiency Class D Amplifier: The built-in, high efficiency amplifier features an analogue preamp design, which maintains the original signal path for cleaner, true-to-source reproduction. The Class D output stage ensures maximum efficiency for maximum output, detail, and low frequency power.
Front-Firing Slot Port With Exclusive Internal Flare Technology: Proprietary internal geometry with a new Aerofoil slot port design minimizes port noise for clean undistorted low frequencies. The front-firing design allows for placement flexibility.
WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit Capable: The Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit (sold separately) allows high resolution wireless connectivity for easy placement anywhere in your room and optimizes output and low frequency response. Connect up to four WA-2 wireless kits to compatible Klipsch subwoofers in a single room for a completely wireless connection.
Flexible Controls: Low Pass Crossover and Variable Phase control allows you to tune the subwoofer to your Klipsch speakers and to your room, establishing the ideal level of bass. Line Level / LFE RCA inputs ensure compatibility with home theatre receivers.
½ Watt Standby Mode: Exceptional efficiency on or off. Meets global efficiency standards - reducing energy costs for the user.
Use Inputs Simultaneously: Both the RCA and wireless inputs can be utilized, giving you the ability to use a single subwoofer with multiple system in the same room. For example, you can use the wireless input for your home theatre set up and the RCA input for your 2-channel system, without needing to switch inputs when changing between systems.
Ultra-Durable Ebony Finish: Scratch resistant ebony vinyl finish looks like real wood and covers the entire cabinet.
Detailed Design: Rounded corners, shock-absorbing rubber feet, steel grille posts and a woven cloth grille ensure a premium look and feel.
5 Year Warranty: Pound for pound better sound and built to last.
