AN LCR IN A COMPACT, STYLISH CABINET
Klipsch Gallery Speakers are a sonic compliment to the legendary speakers 

that have always made Klipsch the most lifelike sounding speakers available, 

using much of the same technology and all of the same passion that goes into 

our larger, more expensive designs. A perfect solution that can replace the 

poor-quality sound of today’s flat-panel TV’s, create a very sleek and stylish 

surround sound system or be added to multiple rooms of the house as part 

of a great-sounding whole-house audio system. And since all the speakers 

in the Klipsch Gallery Series share the same components and exceptional 

aesthetics, you can mix and match them as you wish. Combine them with a 

new Klipsch subwoofer with wireless connection capability (using the optional 

WA-2 wireless kit)* for an incomparable experience!    

FLAT-PANEL TV’S OR STANDS ALONE TO BLEND WITH ANY DÉCOR 
The elegant, injection molded polymer cabinet has a front baffle that curves 

to the rear on both sides to create both a highly aesthetic appearance and 

a solid, low-resonant structure. The detailed, twelve-step cabinet finishing 

process achieves a sleek, high-quality piano black high gloss luster that 

perfectly blends into any interior setting.

AN “LCR” DESIGN
The Klipsch Gallery G-42 (42 signifying its 42-inch horizontal width) is a passive 

“soundbar” design with a separate Left channel, Center channel and Right  

channel speaker all built into separate chambers in one aesthetic cabinet. 

TRACTRIX® HORNS
Proprietary Klipsch technology with a refined 90° x 90° dispersion pattern 

expands the prime listening area and improves dynamics, increases 

soundstage dimension and produces pinpoint imaging for an enhanced 

listening experience. The three horn-loaded drivers, one each for the left, 

right and center channel provide a powerful and detailed sound from a very 

slim cabinet that is less than two and one-half inches deep.   

WITH LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS)
Combined with the Tractrix Horns, the one-inch, solid-formed, very 

lightweight metallic diaphragms (one for each channel) work in conjunction 

with precise phasing plugs at the horns throats to create highly efficient 

drivers with excellent transient response and lack of distortion. The new 

Linear Travel Suspension assures the most precise diaphragm excursion, 

increasing high-frequency detail and smoothness.  

LONG-THROW INJECTION MOLDED GRAPHITE WOOFERS 
Four total woofers (one each for the left and right channels and dual 

woofers for the center channel) with light, yet very stiff diaphragms combine 

with large motor structures to produce surprising bass output.

THREE INDIVIDUALLY PORTED CHAMBERS 
Each channel is housed in a separate acoustic chamber in the G-42 passive 

soundbar, with each chamber individually ported. A design that provides 

for the best overall sound with the least interference between channels, the 

individual ports are perfectly matched with the cabinets and woofers and 

precisely flared to minimize turbulence and distortion. 

HIGH QUALITY, HIGH DEFINITION NETWORK
Increases overall speaker efficiency while reducing distortion.

UNIQUE FRAMELESS, ACOUSTICALLY INVISIBLE GRILLE
With the thinnest grille ever to come from Klipsch (one-half the thickness of 

a credit card), the sound is equally detailed with the grille on or off. With it 

off, the high gloss appearance and fine lines of the speaker are preserved 

due to the lack of visible fasteners on the speaker baffle made capable by a 

unique magnetic grille rod attachment. 

HIGH QUALITY DARK TINT, TEMPERED GLASS BASE
Allows placement on stands either in front of, or below a television. 

EXCLUSIVE CHANNELED WIRE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Wall-mounted, keeps wiring flush with the back of the speaker for perfect surface 

alignment…on its base maintains a clean, uncluttered appearance from front to back.

DUAL KEYHOLE MOUNTS, MOUNTING BRACKET AND TEMPLATE
Easy wall-mounting capability.

5-WAY BINDING POSTS
Provide maximum connection flexibility, 3 sets (one for each channel).

*Klipsch WA-2 wireless kit, available summer 2011. 
Works with select Klipsch®, Energy®, Mirage® and Jamo® subwoofers equipped with a “WA Port.”
