REAR-PANEL OUTPUTS

1COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT

One component video output is provided to connect to a monitor with a component video input. This output is active only for routing the three Component Video inputs (TV, DVD and Video) connected to component video sources.

2S-VIDEO MONITOR/RECORD OUTPUT

Two outputs are provided for S-video signals to route them to your moni- tor or recording device. The Stage One does not convert composite video input signals to S-video, although both composite and S-video signals can be used simultaneously.

3COMPOSITE VIDEO MONITOR/RECORD OUTPUT

Two outputs are provided for composite video signals to route them to your monitor or recording device. The Stage One does not convert com- posite video signals to S-video, although both composite and S-video sig- nals can be used simultaneously.

4TOSLINK OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT

A Toslink optical digital audio output is provided on the rear panel. The signal from the selected digital source is routed to the Toslink digital out- put for recording purposes.

5ANALOG RECORD OUTPUTS

Two sets of outputs are provided on the rear panel to connect to recording devices, such as VCRs and tape decks. The analog signal from the selected source is routed to both record outputs. (Be careful when connecting these to a VCR line input if the VCR is the currently selected source and line-in is selected on the VCR. This can cause a feedback loop.)

6PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUTS

RCA outputs are provided for each channel. Connect these to the inputs of the corresponding power amplifier channels.

7RS-232 IN/OUT

The RS-232 port enables the Stage One to communicate with external control devices or to connect with expansion boxes for future upgradability. This port also allows for software upgrades to be installed to the Stage One.

812-VOLT DC OUTPUT

The 12-volt DC output can be used to trigger external devices that are driven by a 12-volt continuous DC output (up to 100mA).

THX ULTRA2 specifications

The Klipsch THX Ultra2 system is a premium home theater speaker system that epitomizes high-fidelity audio performance. Designed for enthusiasts seeking a cinematic experience in their own homes, this system excels in delivering powerful, clear sound across a wide frequency range.

One of the standout features of the THX Ultra2 system is its compliance with the THX Ultra2 certification. This certification ensures that the speakers meet rigorous performance standards, making them capable of delivering an immersive audio experience akin to that found in commercial theaters. The system is engineered to produce dynamic range and low-distortion sound at high volume levels, which is crucial for recreating the explosive effects of modern films.

The THX Ultra2 system typically comprises several key components: main speakers, satellite speakers, and subwoofers, all designed to work in harmony. The main speakers are equipped with Klipsch's signature horn-loaded technology, which allows for increased efficiency and better high-frequency response. This design means that listeners can enjoy crisp, clear dialogue and intricate details in music without strain, even at higher volume levels.

In addition to its horn-loaded design, the THX Ultra2 system includes high-performance woofers made from rigid materials. These woofers add depth and richness to the bass response, ensuring that explosions, music, and ambient sounds are felt as much as they're heard. The subwoofer is specifically designed to provide tight, impactful bass that extends down to lower frequencies, ensuring a full-range listening experience.

Klipsch also incorporates a unique technology called "Tractrix Horn," which enhances sound dispersion and efficiency. By directing the sound precisely toward the listener, this technology minimizes distortion and improves clarity, especially in larger rooms where sound can often dissipate.

Another notable characteristic of the THX Ultra2 system is its elegant design, which integrates seamlessly into any home decor. The speakers often feature a sleek finish that not only looks sophisticated but also minimizes resonance, further enhancing audio quality.

In conclusion, the Klipsch THX Ultra2 speaker system represents a pinnacle in home audio technology. With its THX certification, innovative speaker design, and superior performance across music and movies, it provides an unparalleled entertainment experience, making it a top choice for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike. Whether you are watching movies or listening to your favorite albums, the Klipsch THX Ultra2 fully captures the essence of high-quality sound.
