Klipsch’s latest soundbars offer 8K HDR and Dolby Atmos passthrough

Klipsch has a reputation for delivering soundbars that will stand the test of time, and its latest models certainly do. The audio veteran has launched four new soundbars with the Cinema 1200 (above) and Cinema 800 (below) headlining. The 54-inch and 48-inch bars offer 8K HDR passthrough and decoding for 7.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos respectively, not to mention a WiFi connection that supports Alexa, Google Assistant and Spotify Connect. You will get a pair of additional HDMI inputs on each bar to help your home theater grow as well.

The differences, as you might expect, boil down to the raw horsepower. The Cinema 1200 distributes its 1,200W namesake over a 5.1.4-channel system with a 12-inch wireless subwoofer, while the Cinema 800 is a simpler 3.1-channel platform with a 10-inch wireless subwoofer. .

Both soundbars are available now, with the Cinema 1200 selling for $ 1,699 and the 800 for a more modest price of $ 879.

There are two options for modest setups and smaller TVs. The 45-inch Cinema 600 delivers 3.1-channel sound with a 10-inch wireless subwoofer and supports modern basics like Dolby Audio, Bluetooth, and HDMI-ARC for $ 499. If you only need the essentials, the 40-inch Cinema 400 offers 2.1-channel sound with an eight-inch wireless subwoofer, Dolby Audio, Bluetooth, and HDMI-ARC. It sells for $ 299.
