Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black)

After many years of beautiful sound, my Bose Companion 5 system gave up the ghost. It was a very sad moment. I loved those speakers. The sound was exquisite. Unfortunately, the Companion 5 system is no longer available new, only used. So, I set out on a lengthy search to find something I felt I would appreciate as much as the Bose system. I read and watched tons of reviews for various speaker systems. I stuck to established brands that I've known for years. I've never had Klipsch speakers before, but I've heard various sets of them since the 1980s and have always been impressed by them. I don't want to write a long-winded review, so I'll just say that while I don't feel like they present the same expansive soundstage that my Bose Companion 5 system did, they are EXCELLENT. And they cost considerably less than the Bose Companion 5 did. They produce a very pleasant and dynamic sound, whether I'm gaming, watching a movie, or just listening to music. For music, they're well balanced, in my opinion. They sound good with Classical, Jazz, Rock, whatever. That's not always easy to find in a speaker system. I've been enjoying them for nearly a year. As others have noted, they are very loud. When I first set them up, there was terrible distortion. Turns out, the output from my computer was just too high. I turned down the Windows volume level to 20% and that completely resolved that issue. I just control the volume from the knob built into the right speaker. Speaking of controls on the right speaker, I REALLY appreciate the subwoofer volume control being on the right speaker instead of on the subwoofer itself (as it was on my Bose system). It's nice to be able to adjust the bass without having to crawl under my desk. To be honest, if I could have bought a new set of Bose Companion 5 speakers, I would have. And I never would have discovered these Klipsch speakers. Do I think they're as good as my Bose? No. But I do think they're excellent speakers at a very good price. I'm pleased and would make the same purchase again. I should note that the very good price to which I’m referring was $117.50 almost a year ago.

I just got this and Installed it on my wife's computer. Will say that it is Thunderous. Her office is in an aprox 14'x12' room. So it really fills it with sound. She had a real old cheap 5 speaker system that I had kept fixing and tinkering with. Basic $ 50 sound system with splices in the wires and basic crap. She wanted something better. The old one had a hum and buzz at times. So I started to investigate something better. I kept looking at this one but also others. For us, a 5 speaker system was kind of impracticable because we have 3 cats and they have beds on top of her cabinets/filing cabinets...etc. So placement would have been an issue. But, I kept coming back to this one. I'm 57 and Klip has always been a better product and good quality. So, I bought it. You have to remember at times... you get what you pay for and cheaper is usually what you get.... This is a really nice Plug and Play speaker system. Great sound quality. Really good Bass, Deep and loud if you want it that way. The satellites produce a very nice sound and are well above what I think you would need. Here are a couple of things I found out about it I wanted to mention. Each Satellite speaker has about 8 ft. of wire to attach to the subwoofer. So placement is a factor or you will have to splice onto the existing wire to extend it, which I did not want to and did not in the end. The main wiring harness has EVERYTHING you need to run this. And this will save you $10 to know this. Nowhere did I find in the description or reviews did I see that the 1/8 headphone wire plug is included. So I ended up buying one thinking it is not included....it IS included. This entire system is Plug and Play. The main wiring harness off of the subwoofer is about 6ft long to reach your computer, then about 8 ft. of wire to each speaker. If your computer desk is basically uncluttered and organized....LOL, not my wife. Then this is a no-brainer 10 min max install. Mine took me about 30 min to get through and around some of her crap to hide the wires and make it look "tidy". Also, the control module is connected to the main wire harness and it splits off of it so it lays on your desk for volume and base. If I were to "knock" this in any way it would be the module. Its made to be either mounted under a shelf (no hardware / clip provided) or laid on the desktop. If it's laid on the desk the words are upside down. Volume and Bass. separate control knobs. But that is really ticky tac and will be easily learned. There is a headphone and a mic jack on the module. I got the headphones to work well but did not test the mic jack. She doesn't have one. One note on the headphone jack that I found was that if you use the headphone jack you may have to increase the volume up a bit. So remember that when you pull out the headphones....you may get "hit" with a Thunderous wall of sound because the sound was turned up for the headphones...not the speaker system. All in all, we are pleasantly surprised and happy with it. It offers superior sound and quality at an affordable price. Would not hesitate to buy another if the need requires it or if somebody asked.

Excelente sonido lo recomiendo

Todo bién, todo dentro de lo esperado Gracias

Estou IMPRESSIONADO com a qualidade do Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX! As caixas tocam muito, com a característica assinatura sônica da Klipsch de realçar as altas frequências/alta sensibilidade. Esse Kit está no mercado há muito tempo (antes também tinha a versão 5.1), e brigava com o Creative Megaworks 550 THX, o Logitech Z-5500 THX e outros top de linha. Destaque para o Klipsch que tem Tweeter dedicado, ao contrário dos kits da Logitech (até os mais caros). Acredito que não tem nenhuma opção no mercado brasileiro que chega perto da qualidade desse kit da Klipsch (considerando o preço). Simplesmente incrível. Tenho as Edifier 1280DB, e gostei mais do Promedia 2.1 para usar no PC (nearfield). As caixas são bonitas e ocupam pouco espaço na mesa (ao contrário da 1280 DB/tamanho), e o Sub faz toda a diferença. Embora seja pequeno e use um falante de 6.5, o Sub é bem musical e bate forte em jogos e filmes. O Crossover está muito bem regulado com as caixas frontais. Tenho um Home Theater com 2 Subs (Klipsch RP 1400SW e o Polk HTS-12) e estou curtindo muito o Sub do Promedia. O Kit é bem sensível e tem potência de sobra, deve funcionar bem com qualquer aparelho que tenha saída P2. Aqui uso uma SoundBlaster AE-7 e não passo de 20% no botão de volume da caixa. Melhor compra Custo X Benefício que já fiz aqui na Amazon! Não tem botão de liga/desliga, voltagem 110V. Edifier, Logitech e derivados que se cuidem! High Five pra você que pegou esse kit aqui na Amazon por esse preço camarada (+- 400,00), e bem vindo ao mundo do aúdio de qualidade. =) EDITADO EM 18/11/2024 - Gostei tanto do Promedia que comprei outro kit e liguei em 4.2 no PC, em Surround, mantendo o timbre. Para uso no PC a caixa central não faz falta. Meu plano era fazer essa ligação com 2 kits 1280DB e o Sub T5 V2, mas o preço de 02 kits Promedia ficam mais em conta que 01 par de 1280DB. Aqui uso uma Soundblaster AE7 mas qualquer placa de som onboard da Realtek permite fazer essa ligação em Surround, basta ligar um par de caixas no canal FRONT (conector verde) e outro par no canal REAR (conector preto) e configurar a placa para 4.0 (já que o KIT controla o sub/crossover/bass redirection). Em jogos fica muito TOPPER com o som surround. Já tive o Megawork 550 THX e o Logitech Z-5500, mas o Promedia é consideravelmente melhor, possivelmente pela presença do Tweeter. Os cabos são longos e facilitam a ligação em Surround, ainda mais com o módulo de volume que é destacável. Consegui deixar o controle de volume de ambos os kits ao alcance. OBS- O segundo que comprei tem diferença no Sub. É mais pesado, e as etiquetas e os parafusos traseiros estão em posições diferentes, indicando que usam uma placa de amplificação distinta. O mais pesado esquenta mais, porém não observei diferença na qualidade do aúdio ou potência. Muito satisfeito com a compra.

Excellents hauts parleurs pour ordinateur et aussi pour servir de système cinéma maison 2,0. Je ne suis pas un Samer mais vu le rendement sonore lors de l'écoute de la musique (Jazz, blues et même classique), je pense que les gamers seront pleinement satisfaits avec ce produit. J'aime aussi beaucoup leurs rendement lors du visionnement de filmes. Attention, le subwoofer est puissant, il est capable de vous faire vibrer.

Love this system. Sound quality is awesome for it's intended use. It is THX certified. For the price they are fantastic. Just make sure it's not a chinese knockoff. Our previous pc system was also a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX. It lasted for 12 years before the subwoofer foam finally failed. The fact that this system has been in production for 24 yrs speaks for itself. Going to refoam the old subwoofer bet it goes another 10 yrs.
