Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. ( See how we test everything we review (Opens in a new window).) But its size might overwhelm a purse or small bag, and it's not a pocketable option.
#AUDIOTEST KLIPSCH GIG PORTABLE#
In other words, the rounded rectangular contour, with its built-in, swivel stand that allows for various speaker angles, is portable in the sense that you can move it around and it runs on an internal lithium ion battery.

Measuring 3.6 by 7 by 2.1-inches, the 1.4-pound speaker, like the Bose SoundLink Mini ($169.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), is on the larger end of the portable Bluetooth speaker scale. The Gig is offered in a cream-colored motif as well as a black-and-silver model if those two schemes are insufficient, Klipsch sells a range of additional color bands for $24.99 each. Regardless, at moderate to high volumes, the distortion can be avoided, and the portable Gig provides a very sculpted listening experience that will appeal to fans of rich lows and crisp highs-though it may be a bit too sculpted for purists to enjoy. However, on tracks with seriously deep bass, it can often distort at top volumes, which is a bit disappointing considering its pricing.

The Gig can get quite loud for its size, and delivers a more powerful sense of bass than most wireless speakers in this price range.

Klipsch's latest portable Bluetooth speaker, the Gig, is a well-designed $199.99 (direct) option that features a swiveling kick stand so you can angle the drivers to face various directions.

I guess a Chorus would need about 50 watts and a Forte would fall short just like its cousin the Hersey. That's about 10 watts for a Corner horn, La Scala and Belle, you'd need about 25 to 30 watts for a Cornwall, and to much power for a Heresy consumer version. Now most speaker manufacturers, Klipsch, Bozak, EV, Altec, JBL when running tests use 110 db as a barometer level of performance. So what does that mean? For a Corner horn 105 db 1 watt 1 meter, - 5db 100 db add 3 db of power to reach 103db= 2 watts of power. So because of the directivity of the average klipsch you might loose 4 to 6 db in level between the speaker 1 meter rating and your listening position. This not amplified concerts, just good old fashioned sysmphonic band, orchestra, massed choir and organ type. If you figure a 10 db peaking factor or 103 db which is 4th to 10th row concert level. Never thought my first would be with a Klipsch.įor average listening most folks listen around 85 db with enthusiasts and professioals around 90 to 93 db. First and only time this ever happened to me in some 55 years. When it happened my next door neighbor ran out thinking it was a gunshot. I tested this theory on them by accident and it turned out to be true requiring me to recap but it saved the drivers.

On mine the cap voltage was 50 volts so an estimate based on the formula on the web, the max wattage the cap would take before blowing is around 70-100rms but only for a short time. If the Klipsch specs are right, those thinking they are pumping gigawatts into theirs should double check.especially if they still have the original caps. This is on the Crites crossover rebuilt kits and bis titanium diaphragms. 004 watts and using the the Shure Audio Test record, the peaks hit at 2.5 watts. Using am interstation noise my average level sucks up at. Most of the time the HIIs are on my 20watt Sherwood S9500c ss amp.īut whether using my smallest amp, a DynaSCA35 or my largest, a Philips 5781 200 Watters, my RS peak meter shows the same. Depending on what is hooked up anywhere from 10 watts to 60 watt amp.
