Unboxing the Klipsch Cinema 400
The best part about reviewing any product is the unboxing process. It feels like a surprise coming our way that is about to change our entire perception. That’s what happened when the Klipsch cinema arrived.
The Klipsch Cinema 400 comes in a well-designed and stylish box, with the soundbar and wireless subwoofer securely packaged inside. The package includes a remote control, HDMI cable, and a power cord.
The unboxing experience is smooth and provides a good indication of the quality of the product you are about to use.
Size and Design
The Klipsch Cinema 400 soundbar has a stylish yet handy design, measuring only 38.5 inches in length. We recommend mounting the bar under the 50 to 65 inches TV, as it would look great.
The soundbar has a sleek design with a brushed black finish that will blend well with any home decor. The wireless subwoofer is only 8 inches and can be positioned anywhere in the room for optimal sound performance.
However, it has a black texture that looks unusual but attractive for a subwoofer.
Channel Configuration
The Klipsch Cinema 400 soundbar features a 2.1 channel system, with the wireless subwoofer delivering deep and powerful bass. The channel system suggests only dual full-range drivers placed at the front and a built-in woofer.
The subwoofer is equipped with one woofer that solely focuses on lower frequencies for the bass reproduction, making it more profound and thumpy for the listeners.
Connectivity Sources
The Klipsch Cinema 400 soundbar comes with different connectivity sources allowing you to connect a variety of devices and expand the soundstage at home. We tried connections with HDMI ARC and optical digital.
HDMI is a perfect input to connect soundbar with TV or DVD/Blu-ray players. Gamers also prefer HDMI ARC over optical or Bluetooth for the next-level sync properties.
Additionally, the Bluetooth addition is valuable, making it a plug-and-play wireless device for all your music, podcast, and eBook listening. It instantly connects with smart devices and starts performing.
The soundbar also has the ability to connect to other Klipsch devices, such as the Klipsch Bar 40 or the Klipsch Reference RSB-11, to create a full surround sound system.
Controlling and Navigation
Like other entry-level soundbars, the Klipsch Cinema 400 also tried its best to keep the controlling and navigation properties simple, so many users can opt for the device and enjoy their favorite content hassle-free.
We found a handy remote control in the kit that has some dedicated buttons at the front, helping with quick access to different functions. It helps with volume management, bass boost, switching connections, etc.
You can also factory reset the soundbar when needed using the remote.
Sound Performance
The Klipsch Cinema 400 is highly regarded for its impressive audio performance. With its powerful speaker system, the soundbar delivers clear, immersive audio that enhances the overall watching and listening experience.
Additionally, whether you’re listening to music or catching up on an episode of your favorite show, its rich and dynamic sound quality brings life to the content. The mids are crispier, and the higher ones are super immersive to envelop you in the content.
The wireless subwoofer also plays its part and produces deep bass with great clarity and expands the soundstage, creating a spacious and engaging audio experience. It is perfect for different types of content, especially with the dialogue enhancement mode.
