Indianapolis, Ind. (June 5, 2019) — Klipsch®, a tech-driven audio company, announces the debut of two new premium, easy to use sound bars that are designed with quality materials and horn-loaded technology to look and sound like the brand’s premium Reference^TM speakers.

The Klipsch BAR 48 and BAR 40 sound bars with wireless subwoofers are a true upgrade to television sound, enhancing movies and music with clarity and realism. The sound bars and subwoofers are made from wood like the brand’s legendary, premium loudspeaker lines to deliver impressive acoustic performances.

The Klipsch BAR 48 is a high performance 3.1 sound bar, featuring a dedicated center channel speaker for enhanced clarity, a wireless 8” subwoofer for powerful, deep bass, and built-in surround sound processing technologies such as Dolby^® Digital audio technology, Dolby^® Digital Plus technology, DTS^® technology and DTS®-HD technology to deliver cinematic performances. Designed to fit discreetly below the TV screen, the slim profile BAR 48 sound bar measures 48” in length and just 2.8” tall and can be wall-mounted or placed on a table. Optional SURROUND 3 speakers are easy to set up and use, turning this 3.1 sound bar into a full-fledged, dedicated 5.1 surround sound system capable of delivering Dolby® and DTS® 5.1 formats natively. BAR 48 U.S. MSRP is $499 each. Optional SURROUND 3 speakers U.S. MSRP $249/pair.

The BAR 40 features legendary Klipsch acoustics, a built-in Dolby® Audio decoder and enhanced virtual surround sound modes for a cinematic experience. While it measures just 40” in length and 2.8” high so it can be added discreetly to any room, its performance allows listeners to hear every detail of their favorite shows and music. BAR 40 U.S. MSRP is $299 each.

The Klipsch BAR 48 and BAR 40 work seamlessly with Bluetooth^® wireless technology enabled devices and come with remotes to control sound and subwoofers levels independently.
