    Product Description

    The Reference R-12SW subwoofer uncovers what you've been missing in your music, movies and games -- clean chest-thumping bass. The high performance subwoofer provides deep bass and placement flexibility thanks to its front firing driver and all digital amplifier.

    That Quiver You Feel Is Love. And Bass.
    The R-12SW features a 12-inch copper-spun IMG driver that provides remarkably low frequency response with minimal cone breakup and distortion. The built-in all-digital amplifier delivers ample power with high efficiency and true-to-source accuracy in reproduction. The low pass crossover and phase control allows you to blend the subwoofer's low-frequency tones with other Klipsch speakers as well as establish the ideal level of bass.

    The R-12SW is housed in a durable MDF cabinet and finished with a brushed black polymer veneer. The front-mounted LED power indicator lets you know when the system is powered on or off. You've been warned.

    Spun Copper IMG Woofer
    Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofers are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid - providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion.

    All-Digital Amplifier
    The built-in all-digital amplifier delivers ample power with high efficiency and true-to-source accuracy in reproduction.

    Front-Firing Driver
    The high performance driver provides deep bass and placement flexibility.

    Low Pass Crossover and Phase Control
    Allows you to blend the subwoofer's low-frequency tones with other Klipsch speakers as well as establish the ideal level of bass.

    Line/LFE Inputs
    Ensures compatibility with old and new receivers.

    MDF Cabinets with Brushed Polymer Veneer Finish
    Contemporary aesthetic with absolute durability that results in a seamless integration into any decor.

    Front-Mounted LED Power Indicator
    Let's you know when the system is on or off.

    Strong, Flexible, Removable Grille
    Adds a rich, refined look that is acoustically transparent.
