Klipsch Bar 48 User Manual

BAR 48

The Klipsch BAR 48 is a high performance 3.1 sound bar. It is a plug and play solution
offering a massive upgrade to average TV sound. The Klipsch Bar 48 Soundbar
features a dedicated center channel speaker for enhanced vocal clarity, as well as
surround sound capabilities to take your movies to the next level.

EASY PLUG AND PLAY SET UP

The BAR 48 is designed to quickly connect to your TV. Simply plug in the included
HDMI cable or an optical cable to seriously upgrade your TV sound, using your TV’s
remote to control it.

SLIM PROFILE DESIGN

The BAR 48 is crafted from high-quality wood materials, just like legendary Klipsch
speakers. Measuring only 2.8” inches tall, the BAR 48 is designed to fit below your TV
regardless of wall mounting or table top use.

TRUE 2-WAY BI-AMPLIFIED SOUND BAR

Three 1” tweeters with 90° x 90° Tractrix® horns deliver crisp highs, while four 3”
woofers complete the enhanced sound with clear vocals and dynamic soundtracks.
Horn loaded drivers direct the sound to more efficiently bring the detail to the
listener.

DOLBY AUDIO® AND DTS DECODING BUILT IN

The built-in Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS-HD processing enables powerful
cinema experiences with discrete processing for dialog and (optional) surround
channels. DTS Virtual:X-ready, the Bar 48 will later enable you to add height to your
surround experience via a USB firmware update.

8-INCH WIRELESS SUBWOOFER

The BAR 48 comes with a powerful wireless 8” subwoofer that you can place
anywhere in your room. Wireless 2.4 GHz technology automatically connects the
sound bar and the subwoofer together. There is also a subwoofer output meaning
you can add a second subwoofer to your setup or simply replace the included wireless
subwoofer with the subwoofer of your choice.

BLUETOOTH® WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY READY

Works great with all Bluetooth-enabled smartphones, tablets and computers - allowing
you to play music direct from your device.

BACKLIT WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL

A full-size wireless remote control with discrete source selection and subwoofer
adjustment is included. Grab the remote off the coffee table and see what you’re
pressing with automatically-activated LED backlight.

DIALOG / SURROUND / NIGHT MODES

Klipsch enhanced virtual surround gives you an engulfing surround sound effect
without all the additional speakers and wires. Dialog mode increases dialogue volume
for enhanced vocal clarity without increasing ambient sounds. Night mode adjusts
dynamic range for quieter listening environments.

OPTIONAL SURROUNDS

Add the optional SURROUND 3 speakers to make this 3.1 sound bar into a full-fledged

5.1 surround sound system capable of delivering Dolby and DTS 5.1 formats natively.
