The Reference Series brings a new dimension of
reality and convenience to surround sound with our
proprietary Wide Dispersion Surround Technology
(WDST). WDST provides Reference Series
performance even in listening areas with less
than ideal configurations.
Effective surround sound requires two key, yet
opposite attributes. The sound must be enveloping to
place you in the middle of the action, as well as
correctly localize specific sounds so what you hear
matches what you see. Few ordinary rear surrounds
can deliver both qualities, and even then only when
they are perfectly placed.
Our Reference Series Tractrix Horns deliver a 90°
wide by 60° high dispersion pattern. By aligning two
horns at 90° with respect to each other, along with
a front-firing woofer, WDST surrounds smoothly cover
a 180° horizontal arc. The surround points at you
no matter where you are seated, drawing you into
the middle of the action. This makes WDST ideal
for every surround sound format and for music as
well as movies. WDST surround speakers also
provide the greatest variety of effective placement
options, enabling them to work well in virtually any
room configuration.
WIDE DISPERSION SURROUND TECHNOLOGY™
WDST™ Surrounds
Using the same titanium-dome, Tractrix Horn
tweeters and Cerametallic cone woofers as other
Reference Series designs, sonically matched Klipsch
WDST loudspeakers are perfect surround-sound
complements. Exclusive Klipsch Wide Dispersion
Surround Technology makes them equally (and
uniquely) adept at establishing enveloping ambient
sound fields and localizing specific surround effects.
A complete Klipsch system with WDST surrounds
provides the ultimate you-are-there experience,
the speakers melting away into the world they
create around you.
The RS-35, RS-25 and RS-10 WDST surrounds
have more compact horns, allowing a significant
reduction in cabinet width. Side ports, back-panel
keyholes for flush wall-mounting, and threaded
inserts for popular wall and ceiling brackets further
simplify installation. Like other Reference Series
speakers, they incorporate crossovers made with
premium-quality components and internal wiring
for optimum signal transfer.
