New Klipsch Subwoofers Go Digital

I really wasn't sure a subwoofer could "go digital". As it turns out, the marketing department of Klipsch has proven me wrong. In a sense, Klipsch has installed a tiny receiver to better manage the sound coming from your subwoofer. Each new speaker allows for equalization settings and acoustic room correction. I found the triangle shape and the supposed six decibel increase by placing it in a corner very intriguing. Space management and aesthetics are very important in the WAF department, the added boom also helps.

From the press release: 

The flagship, triangular-shaped RT-12d
and RT-10d subwoofers are small footprint, high-output models with
powerful front-firing Cerametallic™ woofers and dual rear-firing
passive radiators. These subwoofers easily fit into corners where they
are less intrusive. This unique enclosure style also allows the passive
radiators to face both corners of a wall for maximum bass performance.
In fact, corner loading a subwoofer creates a six-decibel increase in
output without an increase in power.

Through Digital Signal
Processing (DSP), the RT subwoofers give users more control and
flexibility with different source material. They both feature
a top-side digital control panel that allows users to quickly and
easily adjust all functions. The RT-12d and RT-10d also offer three
equalization modes (flat, depth and punch) and five user-adjustable
presets (music, movie, night and two name-your-own settings) to
establish specific listening preferences. By utilizing a patent-pending
auto room correction process, formally known as Adaptive Room
Correction™ or ARC, and the included calibration microphone, these RT
models ensure ideal performance in every listening area. They also come
with an IR sensor for operation from any learning remote or control
system.
