INDIANAPOLIS (January 8, 2007) — Designed for users who want
high-performance surround sound minus the hookup hassle, the new
straightforward Klipsch CS-500 DVD Entertainment System is the
ticket to dynamic music and movie sound with fewer wires and
less components.
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-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 A/V center features Dolby® Virtual Speaker technology along
with a progressive scan DVD player, AM/FM tuner and three auxiliary
inputs. The CS-500 also has the ability to pass high-definition signals
through a component output and can simplify all of the auxiliary input
connections into a single convenient output to the TV. An easy-to-use
universal IR remote control directs all system functions as well as
those of the TV and other entertainment devices.
Available in a black finish, this system offers a clean, modern design
that fits comfortably into any living environment. Essentially plug-and-
play, the CS-500 can be operating in as little as 10 minutes. All it takes
is hooking the satellites, subwoofer and TV up to the AV center using
the color-coded wiring and then plugging in two power cords. A step-by-
step set up guide is included to walk users through the process.
The CS-500 system will become commercially available in April and
carry a U.S. MSRP of $999.99.
