Klipsch R-12SWi review

Klipsch R-12SWi vs Klipsch R-112SW is a wireless subwoofer. The R-12SWi delivers incredible bass without the need for a subwoofer cable. Just plug the R-12SWi into a wall outlet, then plug in the compact transmitter and enjoy your home theater. This is a 12-inch active subwoofer with an output of 200 (400) watts.

The device is made in an MDF case with a finish of matte polymer veneer. The appearance of the copper subwoofer and the box construction is solid. There is a phase inverter with one slotted frontal port. Inputs and outputs are located on the rear metal panel.

Klipsch R-112SW review

Klipsch R-112SW has 300 W power vs Klipsch R-12SWi has 200 W. A built-in digital amplifier provides ample power and fidelity. Its rich deep bass amazes you as soon as you press play. A magnetically shielded 12-inch woofer with a ceramic-metal diffuser provides accurate bass reproduction in the frequency range 24-125 Hz.

Having a moderate body size and weight of 22.1 kg, the column is placed on the floor. Due to the massive MDF walls, the speakers do not twitch. The phase inverter on the front panel is designed to form a three-dimensional scene with a dense and deep bass.
