Klipsch THX-8000-S In-Wall Speaker (Each)

THX Ultra2 Certified • Wide Dispersion Surround Technology • dual 1" titanium tweeters • diffuse Tractrix horn array • 8" aluminum woofer • 100W continuous / 400W peak • sealed in-wall enclosure

The Klipsch THX-8000-S In-Wall Speaker is a purpose-built surround loudspeaker designed to deliver immersive cinema sound while disappearing almost completely into the room. THX Ultra2 Certified and engineered around Klipsch Wide Dispersion Surround Technology, the THX-8000-S combines an 8-inch aluminum woofer with two horn-loaded 1-inch titanium tweeters to create an expansive sound field for side- and rear-surround applications. Rather than directing all high-frequency energy toward a single listening position, the THX-8000-S uses a diffuse Tractrix horn array to distribute surround information throughout the seating area. This helps create the enveloping ambience and spacious effects expected from a dedicated cinema system while retaining the dynamics and clarity of Klipsch's THX architectural speaker family. A sealed enclosure provides predictable acoustic performance within the wall, while the shallow installation depth and paintable magnetic grille allow the speaker to integrate discreetly into a dedicated theater.

Key Features & Innovations

  • THX Ultra2 Certified performance — the Klipsch THX-8000-S In-Wall Speaker is engineered for demanding home cinema applications and is part of Klipsch's THX Ultra2 architectural speaker family.
  • Wide Dispersion Surround Technology — Klipsch WDST is designed to create an enveloping surround field while preserving the localization of individual movie effects, making the THX-8000-S especially well suited to side- and rear-surround duties.
  • Dual 1-inch titanium dome neodymium tweeters — two high-frequency drivers provide the foundation for the speaker's specialized diffuse surround pattern while offering the efficiency and detail required for cinema playback.
  • Diffuse Tractrix horn array — the vertically stacked horn-loaded tweeters disperse high-frequency information over a wider listening area than a conventional forward-firing design.
  • 8-inch aluminum cone woofer — the rigid, lightweight aluminum driver provides dynamic midbass and midrange reproduction for effects, ambience, music, and other surround-channel information.
  • 90dB sensitivity — efficient driver and horn technology allows the THX-8000-S to produce substantial output while making effective use of available amplifier power.
  • 100W continuous / 400W peak power handling — substantial dynamic capability allows the speaker to reproduce demanding cinematic effects when paired with a capable AV receiver or multichannel power amplifier.
  • 80Hz–20kHz frequency response — the THX-8000-S is designed to reproduce the primary surround-channel range while handing deeper bass to a properly configured theater subwoofer system.
  • Sealed enclosure — the integrated enclosure creates a controlled acoustic environment for the drivers, reducing dependence on the size and construction of the surrounding wall cavity.
  • Vertical or horizontal installation — Klipsch specifies that the THX-8000-S can maintain its performance when installed horizontally or vertically, providing additional flexibility during theater design.
  • Sure-grip mounting system — integrated mounting dogs apply even pressure against the drywall for a secure, long-term architectural installation.
  • Edge-to-edge magnetic grille — the low-profile grille uses neodymium magnets for easy installation and removal and can be painted to coordinate with the surrounding wall.
  • Timbre-matched THX Cinema Series — the THX-8000-S is designed to integrate with Klipsch THX LCR, architectural, and subwoofer products for a cohesive concealed theater system.

FAQ — Klipsch THX-8000-S

What is the THX-8000-S designed for?

The THX-8000-S is primarily designed for surround-channel applications in a high-performance home theater. Its wide-dispersion architecture makes it particularly well suited to side- and rear-surround positions where an enveloping sound field is desirable.

What is Klipsch Wide Dispersion Surround Technology?

Klipsch Wide Dispersion Surround Technology, or WDST, uses multiple horn-loaded high-frequency drivers to distribute surround information across a broader listening area. The goal is to create an enveloping sound field while retaining enough localization for individual movie effects to remain convincing.

How is the THX-8000-S different from the THX-8000-L?

The THX-8000-S is optimized for surround applications and uses two 1-inch titanium tweeters in a diffuse Tractrix horn array. The THX-8000-L uses a single compression driver with an 80° × 80° Tractrix horn and is designed primarily for left-, center-, and right-channel duties. Both use an 8-inch aluminum woofer and sealed in-wall enclosure.

How much amplifier power can the THX-8000-S handle?

The THX-8000-S is rated for 100 watts continuous and 400 watts peak. Its 90dB sensitivity helps it achieve substantial output with compatible AV receivers and multichannel power amplifiers.

Does the THX-8000-S need a subwoofer?

A dedicated subwoofer is recommended for a complete theater system. The THX-8000-S has a specified frequency response of 80Hz–20kHz ±3dB, allowing the surround speaker to concentrate on effects and ambience while the subwoofer system reproduces deep bass and low-frequency effects.

Can the THX-8000-S be installed horizontally?

Yes. Klipsch specifies that the THX-8000-S can deliver its intended performance when installed either horizontally or vertically, providing useful flexibility when working around wall construction, seating positions, or other architectural considerations.
