Klipsch Introduces Family of Multi-Room Entertainment

Products With Wireless KlipschCast™ Technology

New wireless multi-room system delivers company’s signature high-performance sound

INDIANAPOLIS (January 8, 2007) — Most home theater products

available today lack expansibility and confine owners to one room of
the house. In response, Klipsch is launching a high-end multi-room
product series that wirelessly streams the company’s high-performance
sound throughout the home.

The new KlipschCast™ family lets users “build” a superior multi-room
audio system for music and movies without having to wire, cut holes or
retrofit in any way.

Kicking off the series is the 2007 CES Innovations Award winning
CS-700 DVD Entertainment System, a 2.1 virtual surround sound
system with a wireless subwoofer. Incorporating 60 years of stringent
engineering and class-leading research and development, this compact
package is designed to deliver the most powerful, most lifelike virtual
surround sound performances on the market. The system’s wireless
subwoofer and easy set up also make it one of the most flexible.

Additionally, the CS-700 serves as a hub for wirelessly transmitting CD­quality audio to not only its local subwoofer, but also other KlipschCast
products such as the new RoomGroove Music Center. Sold separately,
the RoomGroove requires no wiring beyond a power cord and has a
retractable iPod® dock.

“With unmatched wireless competency and dynamic sound
performance, our KlipschCast products fill the market gap for a high­quality multi-room audio system that’s easy to install and simple to
operate,” said Mike Klipsch, president of Klipsch Audio Technologies.
“This platform allows users to easily expand their Klipsch sound from
room-to-room without being tripped up or tied down.”

Alone, each product is designed to be a top performer in its category,
but together the CS-700 and one or more RoomGroove units really
deliver the full-capability of the system – wirelessly sending CD-quality
music, TV or movie sound all over the house.

KlipschCast Basics

Simply, through its KlipschCast™ Technology, the CS-700 sends a
wireless CD-quality audio signal to one or more RoomGroove systems.
This signal can be the same one playing on the CS-700 or something
entirely different: The CS-700 is capable of playing up to two separate
sources at the same time. For example, the CS-700 can play a DVD
movie in the living room, while the RoomGroove broadcasts the CS­700’s AM/FM tuner in the kitchen.

The RoomGroove can also play music locally utilizing its
retractable iPod dock, or through its auxiliary input for
other MP3 players. Since the RoomGroove is a
transceiver, it can transmit as well as receive,
allowing it to send this MP3 music signal to other
RoomGroove units throughout the house. In fact,
users could create a multi-room music system
with just RoomGroove units if they desire. The
robust 2.4gHz wireless technology found in these
products offers unlimited add-on opportunities.

CS-700 DVD Entertainment System

This unobtrusive entertainment system
uses digital processing circuitry to simulate
the effect of a larger, five-speaker system with
only two satellites, a subwoofer and an A/V center.

Each satellite employs dual magnetically shielded 3-inch woofers and a

0.75-inch magnetically shielded tweeter mated to an exclusive 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 cutting­edge research that drives the development of the company’s leading
movie cinema speakers is also applied in the CS-700.

The subwoofer utilizes an 8-inch down-firing woofer and 200 watts
of amplifier power to generate hard-hitting bass response. Due to its
compact size and wireless capability, 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,
including High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). The CS-700
also features an HDMI output for passing digital signals to a 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-and­play, the CS-700 can be operating in as little as 10 minutes. All it
takes is hooking the satellites and TV up to the A/V center using the
color-coded wiring and then plugging in the power cord. A step-by-step
set up guide is included to walk users through the process.

RoomGroove

RoomGroove Music Center

A true two-way design, this music system utilizes dual 2.5-inch high­output woofers in a ported enclosure, premium crossover networks and
dual MicroTractrix™ Horn-loaded tweeters.

While the RoomGroove’s hidden dock accepts and charges all iPods
with 30-pin connectors, it also comes with all current Apple universal
well inserts to accommodate multiple iPod sizes. The dock opens and
closes via the Klipsch logo touch sensor that’s located on the front of
the unit. The RoomGroove is also compatible with other MP3 players
via an auxiliary input.

Available in a black finish, the RoomGroove is ready to perform as
soon as you plug it in and dock an iPod. Additionally, its shallow
enclosure depth allows for low-profile wall mounting using the included
hardware. A simple IR remote control lets users select different
KlipschCast sources.

Price and Availability

Both the CS-700 and RoomGroove will become commercially
available in April. The CS-700 carries a $1,299.99 price tag (U.S.
MSRP), while the RoomGroove will cost $349 each (U.S. MSRP).
A three-room KlipschCast system featuring a CS-700 and two
RoomGrooves will retail for just under $2,000 (U.S. MSRP).
