ProMedia Ultra 2.0 System

The ProMedia Ultra 2.0 multimedia speaker system is designed to deliver sub/sat level performance from the simplicity and portability of a two-speaker setup. It was created for consumers who want superior, full-range sound quality but do not want to give up the space or run the wire required for a subwoofer.

Features

  • Two magnetically-shielded satellite speakers
  • Exclusive Klipsch MicroTractrix™ Horn
  • Easily connects to Apple iPods and other MP3 players
  • More powerful than anything in its price range

Detailed Description

This speaker system easily connects to Apple iPods and other MP3 players, laptop and desktop computers, and portable audio/video devices such as televisions, CD and DVD players. Listeners can also simultaneously feed a laptop PC signal and an MP3 signal to the speakers for mixed sound playback, making this system an excellent choice for both multimedia presentations and entertainment.

The ProMedia Ultra 2.0 consists of two magnetically-shielded satellite speakers. Each satellite is a highly efficient two-way design that utilizes dual 2.5-inch fiber-composite cone drivers and a 1-inch metalized polymer tweeter. An exclusive Klipsch MicroTractrix™ Horn is coupled to the tweeter for maximum clarity and efficiency. The woofers are long-throw units powered by unique neodymium motor structures. This audiophile design approach provides rich midrange clarity, extended airy highs and a satisfying bass punch, creating balance throughout the audio spectrum.

One of the satellites - the control speaker - hosts a bass level control along with the main volume, a headphone jack and auxiliary input jack for convenience. Each satellite has a sleek appearance with floating grilles and undercone termination, which hides the voice coil leads for a cleaner cone look.

More powerful than anything in its price range, the ProMedia Ultra 2.0 speaker system provides the most satisfying detailed and dynamic sound reproduction available for two-channel multimedia applications.

Reviews

"The bass from these speakers was exceptional for their size and specification; they filled quite a large room effortlessly."
- Nick Mailath, PC User [9/19/2005]

"If you're looking for a truly enjoyable set of speakers that will fit on your desk, won't clutter the area with extra cables and a subwoofer, and won't break your budget ... the ProMedia Ultra 2.0 are highly recommended. I don't think you'll find better sound in a package this size for the price."
- Dan Frakes, Playlist [4/1/2005]

"... if you want a pair of speakers that can stand up to even the closest listening and yet deliver enough clean sound from your MP3 player or notebook computer to raise the neighbors' hackles, this speaker set can't be beat."
- John Quain, LAPTOP [4/1/2005]

"The Ultra 2.0 produces some of the most live-sounding output we've heard from any value-priced two-piece system ..."
- Don Labriola, PC Magazine [3/1/2005]

"All in all, these satellite speakers are just about the best you're going to find at any price. And of course, Klipsch's name backing them up means you won't have to worry about your warranty or the speakers falling apart on you. Sound-wise, the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 2.0 is extremely competitive with anything available on the market at the moment, and at just under $100 for the set, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything of comparable quality for the same price."
- Jason Joyce, About.com [2/1/2005]

"These things, for lack of a better word, rock. In fact, they sound so good we can't refer to them as PC speakers, because it would almost be insulting."
- LIVEdigitally [1/1/2005]

"The Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 2.0 speakers are simply a joy to listen to. You'll be fooling friends and family (and yourself) into thinking that the subwoofer has been cleverly hidden away somewhere in the room. First class drivers and design result in first class sound here — simple as that!"
- Terence Stephen, HWM [1/1/2005]

"Compared with other portable speakers, the 10-inch-high satellites have superior imaging, crisp and detailed high to midrange response, and suprisingly good bass. They faithfully reproduced the airiness of Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah and the detailed sound field on DVDs like The Fifth Element."
- Eric Dahl, PC World [11/1/2004]

“Respected for its accurate and impressive full-sized speaker systems, the company is marketing the 2.0 as a stylish, accurate and low-priced alternative to Altec, Bose, and JBL offerings for the iPod, emphasizing that they provide comparable or greater accuracy and lower-distortion sound than these significantly more expensive competitors."
