Klipsch announces the addition of a smart assistant in the next generation Heritage Wireless tabletop speakers-- specifically Google Assistant, providing voice control together with assistant functionality.
The Heritage Wireless speakers come in two flavours. The Three is a stereo tabletop with an integrated subwoofer for enhanced bass, while The One is a smaller, semi-portable tabletop speaker with a rechargeable battery. Both models feature a mid-century modern design, premium materials including a real wood veneer and copper switches and knobs, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity.
The main cylinder making the Ensembl as as the main speaker unit, but the addition of different modules turn into nothing less than a "smart wirelessly charged home entertainment system," at least according to the company. Actual modules were not available at the show, but the Ashley Chloe says these can include a 360-degree IP camera, glowing lantern disc, Qi charging base, battery and even a pico projector.
The major cabinet change in the smallest Helium and Argon models involves the repositioning of the reflex tube behind the woofer. According to the company the change improves bass response and enhances the clarity of the midrange.
The SF 3PT features a 3-inch full-range driver for speech reinforcement and music playback. It includes a 6.1m PendantConnect speaker cable, an Extron development combining speaker wires and a steel safety cable within a single outer jacket for a clean and secure installation.
Both described by the company as able to deliver ultra-sensitive, hard-hitting, accurate sound, the two speakers carry a new tweeter. It features a 1¾-inch titanium driver with an enhanced phase plug design able to improve sound pressure linearity at high frequencies. A Tractrix horn further improves high-frequency response and extension, while proprietary Cerametallic woofers minimise distortion and, when paired with the Tractrix horn, provide ultra-high sensitivity and high efficiency.
