Description
Active subwoofer, 12" driver, bass reflex design (on the rear wall), rated power 200 W (RMS), frequency range: 29 - 120 Hz, inputs: stereo/LFE (RCA), dimensions 356 x 419 x 488 mm, weight 14 ,1 kg.
The active subwoofer Klipsch R-120SW has increased dimensions compared to the younger model in this series, and is designed for use in large rooms. The subwoofer housing is made of selected MDF of increased thickness and is equipped with internal ties. In general, this design has good acoustic inertness, that is, it does not color the sound even at high volumes.
The outer covering of the Klipsch R-120SW case is made of high-quality vinyl film, which very accurately imitates natural wood. In addition, this coating has good mechanical strength.
The Klipsch R-120SW has a 12-inch woofer mounted on the front panel. It is secured with large-headed screws, which gives the subwoofer a brutal appearance. However, the Klipsch R-120SW can be made less noticeable in the interior by simply leaving the removable protective mesh in place. The woofer features an injection molded graphite (IMG) cone and is highly rigid and lightweight. To improve sound output, the speaker is equipped with a lightweight voice coil and a powerful magnet. The anti-resonance cast chassis serves as a reliable support for the woofer. The necessary acoustic load for the woofer is provided by a bass reflex, the output hole of which is located on the rear panel.
The Klipsch R-120SW subwoofer features a 200-watt Class D amplifier that was custom built to Klipsch's specifications. This amplifier has low distortion and is precisely matched to the subwoofer speaker, resulting in high efficiency.
On the rear panel of the Klipsch R-120SW there are controls for signal level, filter setting frequency, and an absolute phase switch. The subwoofer has an automatic switching system when a signal appears at the input (linear or LFE connections are provided), as well as an LED indicator on the front panel. The subwoofer is equipped with damping supports that provide the necessary mechanical decoupling from the floor surface.
