![]() ![]() Setup was foolproof: You simply connect your input(s) and power cables, power on both the subwoofer and the soundbar. A rear LED shines blue when powered on and wirelessly connected, and red when in power save mode. The only controls on the subwoofer are a power switch and gain control as the subwoofer connects wirelessly with the soundbar. It's finished in a near-seamless matte black vinyl with rounded corners. The down-firing subwoofer is 13 inches wide x 13.5 inches deep x 14.5 inches tall and weighs 25lbs. On the right end of the soundbar is a third input, a 3.5mm jack for easy connection of a phone or music player. On the back, there were connections for power, RCA and Optical inputs, and a power switch. There is no power button the soundbar sleeps automatically after approximately 10 minutes without a signal. The control panel consists of a multi-color status LED for 3D mode and remote programming, buttons for source, mute, volume up and down, and a 2nd multicolor LED for identifying the selected source.

Integrated keyhole mounts on the SB 3 can be used to mount the speaker on the wall. Included are power cords for both the subwoofer and sound bar, mounting feet and template, a 5 foot RCA cable, and a 5 foot optical TOSlink cable. The subwoofer and sound bar were each clad in styrofoam and a poly-bag for secure shipping. The box was larger than I expected, mostly to accommodate the 10" subwoofer enclosure. In the HD Theater SB 3, Klipsch has taken their trademark horn design, coupled it with a wireless subwoofer, and cooked up an easy way to improve sound with minimal impact on aesthetics. #RCA SOUNDAR REVIEW FREE#Free-standing speaker advocates are free to cast their derision, but for folks looking to improve on the anemic sound baked into modern flat-screens, without giving up that near-zero footprint, soundbars are an intelligent choice. Every speaker has its place, whether large or small. ![]()
