Klipsch promedia 2.1 no sound one speaker10/31/2023 This is what connects the controls on the satellite to the amplifier, so if you bend a pin or something, you’re out of luck. It doesn’t seem to want to sit in the connector. It’s an 8-pin jack that I’m not familiar with, and doesn’t have the sturdiest feel to it. One thing I don’t like about this system is the preamp connector Klipsch decided to use. And if you want to wall mount these, be prepared to shell out another $22. Plus, moving anywhere away from your desk will put out of the sweet spot of the speakers. The only other place in my room I sit with my computer is on my bed, and having a USB dongle in is a bit annoying. The range on the transmitter is only 30 feet, and isn’t designed to go through walls. And if you’re playing MP3s, it wont make a difference anyway.īut do you really need wireless desk speakers? If you’re keeping your computer at your desk, absolutely not. If the wireless transmission inherently compresses your audio to stream it, it wasn’t immediately apparent to me. Good news though, is that it’ll work when connected to an unpowered hub. The dongle is slightly oversized though, so if your USB ports are horizontally configured, prepare to lose one. I just plugged in the wireless USB dongle, set my audio output to the new speakers, and I was bothering my roommates in no time. That being said, the wireless system is a breeze to set up. This rig only eliminates one line from the monstrosity of cables you probably have to deal with. So if you were hoping to reduce the wire clutter on your desk, you’re out of luck. There are still wires running from the satellites to the amplifier, which is in the subwoofer enclosure. Now “wireless” is a bit of a misnomer with speaker systems. But you’re not running a dance club on your desk are you? The frequency response on the subwoofer only drops down to 31 Hz, so you won’t get that extreme rumble on the low end of the spectrum. The sound quality out of this rig is fantastic. The only difference being the addition of wireless capability. This particular model however, is new this year. Review: Klipsch released these speakers back in 2000. Independent volume and subwoofer control.But the wireless capability is rather limited in its application, and the price runs a little high for a 2.1 system. The Short Version: You’ll be hard pressed to find a higher fidelity desktop audio rig than this.
