Klipsch The Nines II Dolby Atmos® 8″ Powered Speakers

Description About theKlipsch The Nines II Dolby Atmos® 8″ Powered Speakers Each of the Klipsch The Nines II Dolby Atmos® 8″ Powered Speakers uses a 1-inch titanium LTS vented tweeter with Tractrix horn and an 8-inch Jet Cerametallic woofer. Together, the pair delivers a frequency response of 31Hz to 25kHz and up to 107dB maximum output, making The Nines II the most powerful model in Klipsch’s updated powered speaker range. At Rapallo, the Klipsch The Nines II are an excellent choice for customers who want a big, dynamic sound without building a traditional amp and speaker system. They are ideal for modern living rooms. Connect your TV with HDMI eARC, plug in a turntable via the built-in phono input, stream with AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, or Qobuz Connect, and you have a very capable system from just two speakers. The Nines II sit above The Sevens II. The larger 8-inch woofer gives them deeper bass, more scale, and higher output. Therefore, they are better suited to larger rooms, TV spaces, and customers who want a more powerful all-in-one speaker system. We also like the inclusion of Dirac Live. Room correction matters, especially with larger powered speakers. It helps improve bass control, balance, and clarity in real rooms. Plus, The Nines II add DTS:X decoding, which gives them broader immersive audio compatibility than the smaller models in the range. For NZ customers wanting a premium powered speaker system for music, movies, vinyl, and streaming, The Nines II are a serious option. Add a subwoofer, and they become a powerful 2.1 living-room cinema system.     View Specifications >> View Owners Manual >> View Klipsch >>   The Klipsch The Nines II Dolby Atmos® 8″ Powered Speakers are ideal for Larger living-room TV systems Premium powered music systems Vinyl listening setups Streaming-first hi-fi systems Gaming rooms Customers wanting big sound without a separate amplifier   Frequently Asked Questions What are Klipsch The Nines II?
