Key Features & Innovations
Integrated Dolby Atmos® Decoding & Virtual Height Processing — the Klipsch The Nines II Dolby Atmos® 8" Powered Speaker (Pair) decodes discrete Dolby Atmos bitstreams directly over HDMI-eARC, utilizing advanced DSP algorithms to project an immersive 3D acoustic bubble with realistic overhead dimension.
High-Output 260W RMS Dedicated Bi-Amplification — incorporates independent, ultra-low-noise Class D amplifiers individually dedicated to each transducer (100W per woofer, 30W per tweeter), delivering 520W peak dynamic output and effortless clarity up to 115 dB SPL.
8-Inch High-Excursion Long-Throw Woofers — deploys large 8-inch composite fiber cones ported via rear-firing Tractrix ports to deliver subterranean, distortion-free low-frequency extension down to 34 Hz without taxing external components.
1-Inch Titanium LTS Tweeters on Tractrix® Horns — Klipsch’s proprietary Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) minimizes phase distortion, while the 90° x 90° silicone composite Tractrix horn focuses high frequencies directly into the listening area for laser-sharp dialogue and micro-dynamics.
Complete Universal Connectivity Suite — seamlessly integrates smart televisions via HDMI-eARC, vinyl turntables via the switchable Moving Magnet phono/line RCA pre-out with ground terminal, computers via 192kHz/24-bit USB, digital streamers via optical TOSLINK, and mobile devices via Bluetooth 5.3.
