Product Description

The ProMedia Ultra 2.0 personal audio 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.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.

Customer Reviews

Very good speakers, but...
I would have loved these speakers had I not already owned the Klipsch GMX A 2.1 set. I was willing to sacrifice some bass to ditch my bulky subwoofer, which is why I bought the silver ProMedia speakers in the first place. While they sound good for what they are, they couldn't match the GMX set, which costs about the same but has a sub.

OK, so this wasn't a surprise -- I already said that I was prepared to sacrifice some bass, but the ProMedia speakers didn't sound as good in the mids or highs as the GMX kit. They simply had a lot less depth, no matter how I tried to equalize away the difference. They sound quite good when you are right in front of them, but they can't fill the room like the GMX.

In short, Klipsch spoiled me and I sent the ProMedia speakers back, but I'm still giving them four stars because I can't imagine speakers in this form factor sounding much better -- but if you can spend a few extra dollars and have room for a subwoofer, look at the GMX speakers. You don't have to be an audiophile to appreciate the difference.

great sound but short life
The speakers have great sound but after 6 months the speakers would quit without warning. I checked Klipsch message board and this seemed to be a common problem.

Very good computer speakers
With these speakers, you're not going to get high-volume or house-shaking bass. If that's what you want, buy something else. These are $100 computer speakers, not a replacement for your home stereo.

I chose these speakers over the Bose Companion 2 (exact same price, and arguably the same sound quality) for the following reasongs:
1) The Bose model looks "plasticy", the Klipsch dooesn't (I have the black model, btw)
2) The Bose model doesn't have an on/off switch, the Klipsch does
3) The Bose model's line in is on the back, the Klipsch has it on the front (easier to get to)

I rate sound quality as 8.5 out of 10 (vs. my home stereo at 10/10). Don't expect audiophile sound from these little speakers, and you'll be happy with them.

My only complaint is the volume dial: the knob is solid black and you can't see how high you have the volume turned up. A little white on the knob would be a big help.
