Klipsch Promedia 4.1 Review

Comparison

Double Take

At first glance, the Promedia is strikingly similar to the original v2.400. The dual six-inch subwoofer of the Promedia 4.1 remains identical, complete with the BASH amplifier and now-famous thundering bass. The four satellites also look the same, complete with the gold and black THX badges on the removable grill. Underneath the stealthy satellites of the Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 are the new and improved crossovers which debuted with the Klipsch Promedia 2.1. If you're not up to your audiophile lingo, the crossover is the circuit that separates the high and low frequencies of an audio signal so that the tweeter and woofer receive an appropriately narrow band of audio. Good crossovers will have the different elements of the speaker working in harmony, sounding as if they were one unit. There shouldn't be an audible transition between the frequencies reproduced by the tweeter and the woofer.

The major difference between the Promedia 4.1 and the Promedia v2.400 is the control pod. In the original Promedia, the control pod had the dual stereo mini-jack plugs for connecting to the sound card and three volume knobs - one for the subwoofer, one for the rear speakers, and one for the front speakers.

The Promedia 4.1 still retains these original elements, but adds a standby or "complete mute" switch and two stereo mini-jack plugs on the right side. The first plug is an amplified headphone jack and its neighbor is a line-in plug for easily attaching a portable music player such as a MiniDisc or MP3 player. The control pod is available to current v2.400 owners for $50.
