Klipsch's first Dolby Atmos soundbar packages a 5.1.4 system with wireless surround speakers and a 12-inch wireless subwoofer. The bar's rear panel is generous: two HDMI inputs alongside a dedicated HDMI eARC output, an optical TOSLINK input, a 3.5mm analog stereo input, and a wired Ethernet jack for IP control. HDMI passthrough is rated HDMI 2.0b with HDCP 2.3, capable of 4K@60Hz Dolby Vision/HDR10 and 8K@30Hz at 4:2:0 chroma — but it is not a true HDMI 2.1 panel, so it does not pass 4K@120Hz to a gaming console.
Klipsch’s 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system with wireless surrounds and 12-inch sub. Two HDMI inputs, HDMI eARC out, optical, 3.5mm analog and Ethernet.
