Features

Klipsch Reference Wireless: The RW-34C center speaker is part of Klipsch's Refrence Wireless Series allowing you create a wireless multi-channel home theater through the use of the axiim LINK wireless USB audio transmitter and a WiSA Ready LG TV or compatible Xbox One, Windows 10 PC or Mac computer - all without the use of an AV receiver or speaker wires. The sound is optimized with custom digital signal processing and dedicated amplifiers in each speaker that extract maximum performance from each unit. The Klipsch Reference Wireless Series includes RW-51M bookshelf speakers, a RW-34C center channel speaker, and a RW-100SW powered subwoofer (all sold separately). The speakers can be configured in a number of ways, from a two-channel set-up to a 7.1 surround sound system. The system automatically recognizes and connects new wireless speakers as they are added. System configurations include -

  • 2ch: Create a 2ch stereo setup with two RW-51M bookshelf speakers.
  • 2.1ch: Create a 2.1ch stereo setup with two RW-51M bookshelf speakers and a RW-100SW powered subwoofer.
  • 3.1ch: Create a 3.1ch front surround setup with two RW-51M bookshelf speakers, a RW-34C center channel speaker, and a RW-100SW powered subwoofer.
  • 4.1ch: Create a 4.1ch surround setup with four RW-51M bookshelf speakers for front and surround, plus a RW-100SW powered subwoofer.
  • 5.1ch: Create a 5.1ch home theater setup with four RW-51M bookshelf speakers for front and surround, a RW-34C center channel speaker, plus a RW-100SW powered subwoofer.
  • 7.1ch: Create a 7.1ch home theater setup with six RW-51M bookshelf speakers for front / surround / surround back, a RW-34C center channel speaker, plus a RW-100SW powered subwoofer.

Notes:

  • WiSA Ready 2019 LG OLED and NanoCell TVs only support 2.0 and 5.1 channel systems.
  • The axiim LINK supports 2ch PCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, and DTS-HD. It can even upmix 5.1ch content to 7.1ch, as well as downmix 7.1ch content to 5.1ch - depending on the number of WiSA certifed speakers in your system.
  • The axxim LINK does not support Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. However, it will downmix these immersive 3D audio formats to one of the supported formats.

WiSA Technology: Through the use of state-of-the-art WiSa (Wireless Speaker & Audio) technology, the Klipsch Reference Wireless Series delivers unmatched wireless audio performance and ease-of-use. WiSA runs on a dedicated network separate from your in-home WiFi, meaning fewer slowdowns and dropouts. WiSa technology transmits 24-bit/48kHz audio with robust error recovery for uninterrupted listening enjoyment. With extremely low latency (5.1 milliseconds) and negligible speaker-to-speaker delay (+/-1.0 microseconds), it offers flawless wired-quality performance and reliability. WiSa technology reliably transmits uncompressed audio from 2ch stereo to 7.1ch surround, along with system configuration and calibration data - all wirelessly. It has a range of approximately 30'.

  • Required Wireless USB Audio Transmitter: The axiim LINK wireless USB audio transmitter (sold separately) is required to make a wireless connection with a WiSA Ready LG TV or compatible Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, or Apple Mac computer. Connect the LINK to your compatible source device and then use the TV's on-screen menu or the LINK mobile app to configure your wireless speaker system and enjoy immersive surround sound.
  • Compatible WiSA Source Devices: Compatible WiSA source devices include WiSA Ready 2019 LG OLED and NanoCell TVs, as well as the Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, and Apple Mac computer. Xbox One, Windows 10, and Mac devices are not WiSA Ready and may require additional software, firmware, security, and/or hardware to function with WiSA certified speakers. Only one compatible source device can be utilized.

Note: In some cases wireless WiFi routers can cause interference with a WiSA system. One fix for this is to configure your router (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz) to a fixed channel instead of using the default "automatic" setting. In most cases, customers no longer will experience drop-outs after this.

Built-in Amplification: The wireless powered center-channel speaker employs a built-in, ultra-low noise 80W (RMS) / 160W (Peak) amplifier for dynamic, room-filling sound. The built-in amplifier has been custom deigned to maximize driver performance and eliminate the need for external amplification.

Two-Way Driver Design: The Klipsch Reference Wireless Series RW-34C speaker delivers room-filling sound from a two-way driver design. The center speaker includes a 1" aluminum diaphragm compression driver with a Linear Travel Suspensions (LTS) mated to 90° x 90° square Tractrix Horn, and four 3.5" copper spun IMG woofers. The tweeter and woofers are crossed over at 1600Hz.

  • LTS Aluminum Tweeter: Klipsch exclusive Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) aluminum tweeter minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Using Kapton, an extremely light and rigid material, in the tweeter suspension provides high efficiency and improve resolution and detail.
  • 90x90 Tractrix Horn: Klipsch exclusive 90x90º Tractrix horn technology ensures the high frequency energy is aimed at the listener and reduces artificial reverb or filtering caused by indirect sound bouncing off of walls. Using this proprietary focused technology gives you the best clarity, dynamics, and detail from your movies and music.
  • Copper Spun IMG Woofers: Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofer cones are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid - providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion.

Bass Reflex MDF Cabinet: The Klipsch Reference Wireless Series RW-34C employs a bass reflex enclosure with two front-firing ports for greater efficiency and bigger bass response. The ported enclosure features a MDF cabinet finished with a a scratch-resistant, textured wood grain vinyl. The rigid MDF cabinet utilizes internal cross-bracing to minimize panel vibrations that can color sound. The center-channel speaker also comes with a low profile magnetic grille.

LINK Mobile App: The LINK mobile app (for Apple iOS 10.0+ and Android OS 4.4+) provides complete control and fine tune adjustment of your WiSA enabled audio system through your compatible smartphone or tablet device. The app's advanced features allow you to adjust volume trim on each independent speaker, adjust EQ settings, and more. Your compatible Apple iOS or Android mobile device must be wirelessly connected to the axiim LINK via Bluetooth 4.2 LE (Low Energy).

  • Speaker Setup: Indicate the number of speakers you are wirelessly connecting. Choose from 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, or 7.1ch.
  • Volume Level: You can adjust the overall speaker system volume from 0 to 100, as well as adjust the volume level of each speaker in the system independently. There is also a Mute function that is applied to all speakers.
  • Equalizer: A 10-band EQ can be applied globally to all speakers or individually adjusted per speaker. The 10-band EQ consists of 31, 62, 125, 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8, and 16k Hz bands that are adjustable from -10 to +10 dB. There are also EQ presets (such as Rock, Jazz, Klipsch Optimized, Custom, etc.).

Mounting Options: The Klipsch RW-34C can be placed on a stand, table, or other flat surface. The wireless powered center speaker comes with self-adhesive rubber feet to secure the speaker in place and prevent any damage to your stand's or shelf's surface. The rubber feet add approximately 0.3125" to the overall height of the speaker. The RW-34C also features two 1/4"-20 threaded inserts for use with optional wall-mount brackets (sold separately - two wall-brackets will be required).

Power Requirements: The Klipsch Reference Wireless Series RW-34C comes with a detachable 5' AC power cord that will need to be plugged into the back of the speaker and into an AC wall outlet or surge protector (sold separately - see Accessories Tab).
