The Klipsch The Sevens pair, which is a tandem of active (active monitor) and passive (passive monitor) bookshelf speaker systems, is positioned by Klipsch as an alternative to modern soundbars.\u00a0The speakers have a neat design with retro elements and are equipped with removable grills with magnetic fastening.<\/p>\n

The Klipsch The Sevens feature a 1-inch LTS compression tweeter with linear displacement technology and a titanium dome.\u00a0The tweeter is housed in a proprietary Tractrix horn, which guarantees an accurate polar pattern and detailed sound.\u00a0Transmission of the mid\/low frequency range is handled by a 6.5-inch speaker with a long-throw cone made of fiber composite.<\/p>\n

The active speaker has built-in D-class amplifiers with low noise levels, allowing to provide a power of 100 W per channel (biamping connection, two 60-watt for mid\/low-frequency drivers and two 20-watt for tweeters).\u00a0The passive speaker is connected to the active one using a special cable with 4-pin connectors.<\/p>\n

On board Klipsch The Sevens there is a MM phono stage for connecting turntables, a high-performance DSP processor, a dynamic low-pass equalizer for bass enhancement (analogous to loudness) and a DAC with PCM support up to 24 bit\/192 kHz when connected via a USB input.\u00a0The model also received a Bluetooth receiver with support for AAC and aptX HD codecs for wireless audio streaming from Bluetooth devices.<\/p>\n

The Klipsch The Sevens acoustic system is assembled in a well-damped bass reflex housing made of MDF.\u00a0The body has a bass reflex port built into its rear part with an output pipe in the form of a Tractrix horn.\u00a0Available in two finishes (natural walnut veneer or matte black).\u00a0Two miniature metal \u201cwheels\u201d are integrated into the top panel of the active speaker for adjusting the volume level and selecting a source.<\/p>\n

The rear panel of the active speaker has a built-in panel with a set of switching connectors, among which the HDMI port with support for the ARC return channel, which is ideal for connecting to a TV panel, should be highlighted.\u00a0There are also RCA connectors, which can be used in two ways – as a regular line input or as phono preamplifier connectors.<\/p>\n

A 3.5 mm Aux jack is used to connect portable sources.\u00a0There is an optical input and a USB port for connecting to a computer.\u00a0You can also connect an active subwoofer to the Klipsch The Sevens, for which the Sub Out output is used, and a small standard remote control is provided for remote control of the speaker systems.<\/p>\n

The difference between the Klipsch The Nines and The Sevens speakers is the caliber of the woofer: it is an 8- or 6.5-inch long-throw woofer with a composite cone.\u00a0Because of this, the dimensions of the case, the low-frequency limit and the total power of the built-in amplifiers differ – 240 and 200 W, respectively.\u00a0Otherwise, the Klipsch The Nines and Sevens are identical.<\/p>\n
