Klipsch Releases Reference Premiere Subwoofers
Klipsch has released four new subwoofers explicitly designed to match the performance of its top-selling Reference Premiere speakers.
Said to be "hyper-efficient with the optimal balance between amplifier power, driver capability and cabinet volume", the new Reference Premiere subwoofers achieve maximum low-frequency extension with great output, accuracy and speed.
The four models consist of the 16-inch RP-1600SW (£1,849/ €1,999), 14-inch RP-1400SW (£1,399/ €1,499), 12-inch RP-1200SW (£1,099/ €1,199) and the 10-inch RP-1000SW (£899/ €999).
All models utilise a front-firing spun copper Cerametallic woofer, which the company says "delivers remarkably low-frequency response with minimal distortion. The built-in, high-efficiency Class-D amplifier features an analogue preamp design, "which maintains the original signal path for cleaner, true-to-source reproduction". Proprietary internal geometry with a new Aerofoil slot port design minimises port noise for clean, undistorted low frequencies.
The RCA and WA-2 wireless inputs can be used simultaneously, enabling a single subwoofer to connect to multiple speaker systems in a room.
The Klipsch Reference Premiere subwoofer range is finished in a scratch-resistant ebony vinyl finish that looks just like real wood and covers the entire cabinet. Additional features include rounded corners, shock-absorbing rubber feet, steel grille posts and a woven cloth grille offering a premium look and feel.
Peter Shamoon, Director of Sales at Premium Audio Company, told StereoNET:
We're very proud of this latest Reference Premiere subwoofer range. Thanks to ongoing research and development by Klipsch engineers, it's easily the biggest and most highest-performing range of subwoofers to date.
All Klipsch Reference Premiere subwoofers come with a five-year warranty and are available from March/ April 2023.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
