About the Klipsch Cinema 600

Klipsch style and sound quality
Klipsch style and sound quality
The Cinema 600 sound bar has a low-profile design that will fit easily into your living room. It also has some premium touches — wooden endcaps, a wraparound grille cloth, and Klipsch's signature Tractrix® horn-loaded tweeters at each end for a hint at what's under the hood.
The bar's built-in amplification powers seven drivers for an audio upgrade that will definitely make a noticeable impact on movie night. The Cinema 600 also comes with a wireless subwoofer in an attractive wooden enclosure. It's larger than the subs that are usually included with sound bars, with a 10" down-firing driver for deeper, harder-hitting bass.

Cinema 600's low profile and wide design complement today's large flat-screen TVs.
Follow the plot
It can sometimes be hard to hear dialogue over background sounds in shows and movies. The Cinema 600's dedicated center channel can help with that. This system also comes with three levels of dialogue enhancement, so you can choose the setting that's just right for you.
Surround yourself
The Cinema 600 is compatible with Klipsch's optional Surround 3 wireless rear speaker kit for a complete surround sound upgrade.
Bluetooth streaming
Whether you want to stream your favorite Spotify® playlist, shuffle all your Pandora® stations, or listen to your downloaded podcasts and audiobooks, this sound bar has you covered with Bluetooth built in.

Features
3ch Active Soundbar Speaker: The Klipsch Cinema 600 active soundbar employs a 3-channel speaker configuration with dedicated left, right, and center channels to create a cinematic soundstage. The front left and right channels provide true stereo imaging, while the discrete center channel delivers enhanced vocal clarity. The left and right front channels each consist of a 3" fiber composite woofer and a 1" LTS soft-dome tweeter paired with 90° x 90° Tractrix horn. The center channel consists of two 3" fiber composite woofers and one 1" LTS soft-dome tweeter paired with 90° x 90° Tractrix horn. The tweeters and woofers are bi-amplified and utilize a DSP-controlled crossover network.
- LTS Tweeter w/ Tractrix Horns: The three 1" LTS soft-dome tweeters with 90° x 90° Tractrix horns deliver crisp highs. The Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) soft-dome tweeters minimize distortion for enhanced, detailed performances; while the 90° x 90° Tractrix horn technology offers controlled dispersion that directs the sound more effectively at the listening area.
- Fiber Composite Woofers: The four oval 3" fiber composite woofers deliver clear midrange, detailed vocals, and a dynamic range to complete the soundbar's enhanced audio performance.
Wireless Powered Subwoofer: The included wireless powered subwoofer can be placed practically anywhere in the room for deep, room-filling bass response. The wireless powered sub houses a down-firing 10" fiber composite woofer with rubber surround inside a bass reflex enclosure with a down-firing slot port and driven by a built-in amplifier. Wireless 2.4 GHz technology automatically connects the soundbar and the subwoofer together and has a wireless range up to 30'. You can control the output level of the sub from the included IR remote. There is also a mono-RCA subwoofer output meaning you can add a second powered subwoofer to your setup or simply replace the included wireless powered sub with a powered subwoofer of your choice.
Optional Wireless Surround Speakers: Add the Klipsch Surround 3 speaker (sold separately) to the Cinema 600 for discrete 5.1ch Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound. The Surround 3 speakers connect to the Cinema 600 wirelessly, so there are no cables to run from the soundbar to the speakers. However, each Surround 3 Speaker will require an AC power outlet connection. A USB transmitter is included with the Surround 3 speakers that plugs into the USB port of the Cinema Series soundbar (the USB port is hidden behind the soundbar's right wood end-cap), which allows for wireless pairing. The Surround 3 speakers can be placed on a table-top or stands (sold separately), or mounted on the wall using an optional bracket (sold separately).
Dolby Digital Decoding with Sound Modes: Support for Dolby Digital (up to 5.1ch) enables a powerful cinema experience. The Klipsch Cinema 600 also lets you choose from four Sound modes - Surround, Dialog, Night, or Off.
- Surround: Surround mode gives you an immersive virtual surround sound effect without the additional rear speakers and wires.
- Dialog: Dialog mode increases dialogue volume for enhanced vocal clarity without increasing ambient sounds. The all new custom-tuned dialog modes not only raise the volume of the dialogue in your TV shows and movies, but also optimize the EQ setting of the system, to ensure the dialogue is crisp, clear, and exceptionally intelligible no matter what’s happening on screen. Three levels of dialog mode ensure that you can find the perfect setting for your needs.
- Night: Night mode adjusts the dynamic range for quieter listening environments.
- Off: When the Sound mode is set to Off, the soundbar will playback in 2ch stereo.
Note: The Cinema 600 is not compatible with DTS.
HDMI ARC Output: The Klipsch Cinema 600 features one HDMI ARC output to connect the soundbar to your TV's HDMI ARC input. The Cinema 600's HDMI ARC output allows audio from your TV to be sent through the soundbar system. The HDMI ARC output supports Dolby Digital (5.1ch) and PCM (2ch).
- Some televisions will only pass 2ch PCM through the ARC-enabled HDMI input from devices connected to the TV via HDMI or analog, and will only pass Dolby Digital via the TV's built-in tuner, network apps, or USB.
- The HDMI ARC Output only supports audio transmission and does not support any type of video signals.
- Does not support HDMI eARC, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD, Dolby Atmos or DTS:X.
Digital & Analog Inputs: In addition to HDMI ARC connectivity, the Klipsch Cinema 600 is outfitted with both digital and analog audio inputs. The optical (toslink) digital input supports Dolby Digital (5.1ch) and PCM (2ch). The Cinema 600 is also equipped with an analog Aux (3.5mm) input for connecting legacy source devices.
Note: The optical digital output terminals of many flat-panel TVs only send an audio signal in 5.1ch when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device; and will output only 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA (like your Blue-ray player or satellite/cable box).
Built-In Bluetooth: The Klipsch Cinema 600 features built-in Bluetooth with support for A2DP and AVRCP which allows you to wirelessly stream and control audio from your Bluetooth-enabled source device (such as your TV, smartphone, tablet, or computer) to the soundbar system. The Cinema 600 supports Bluetooth's standard SBC audio codec (not compatible with Dolby Digital/DTS, AAC, or aptX). The soundbar's remote can control the Volume Up/Down and Play/Pause functions of your Bluetooth source device (in some cases you may need to still use your Bluetooth source device's volume control). You can pair multiple devices (up to 8) with the soundbar, but only one device can be used at a time.
- The soundbar system does not support Fast Forward/Rewind, Previous/Next Track, Random/Repeat or Music Browsing functions. You'll still need to use your Bluetooth source device to control these playback and search functions.
- The soundbar and your connected TV will not display song/artist/album info. This will still need to be done from your Bluetooth source device.
- The Cinema 600 does not support Bluetooth hands-free communication for making or answering phone calls.
- Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the soundbar system.
Remote Control: The included IR remote control provides full wireless operation of the soundbar speaker system. It features an automatically-activated LED backlight, so its easy to use in the dark when watching your favorite movie. You can also program the Cinema 600's Volume Up/Down and Mute functions into your existing TV or satellite/cable box remote for further ease-of-operation.
- Many newer TVs are coming with RF remotes and don't offer IR functionality. In this case, you would not be able to program the soundbar and TV or satellite/cable box remote to work together.
- The Cinema 600 does not support HDMI-CEC.
Klipsch Connect App: The Klipsch Connect app (for Apple iOS 12.4+ & Android OS 7.0+) lets you control certain functions of the Cinema 600 from your compatible smartphone or tablet. Your compatible Apple iOS or Android OS device will need to be connected wirelessly to the Cinema Series soundbar via Bluetooth. The Klipsch Connect app provides control functions, such as Sound Modes and Volume Level.
Mounting Options: Measuring less than 3" tall, the soundbar speaker easily fits below your TV regardless if you are placing it on a table-top or mounting it on a wall. The soundbar includes two wall-mount brackets with keyhole slots and comes with a wall-mount template (wall-mount screws not provided). Because the powered sub is wireless, it can be positioned almost anywhere up to 30' from the soundbar speaker. It is recommended that the subwoofer be positioned on the same wall as the soundbar.
Power Requirements: Both, the active soundbar & wireless powered sub, will require AC power. Each one comes with a detachable 6.5' AC power cord that will need to be plugged into an AC power outlet or surge protector (sold separately - see Accessories Tab).

Excellent Product. Klipsch never disappoints. Before buying this for 2nd time, I tried Bose. This one wins at the cost of the quality available.
