- General
- Product Name: Reference Series 2.1-Channel Soundbar System with 8" Wireless Subwoofer and Digital Amplifier
- Brand: Klipsch
- Model Number: RSB-11
- Audio
- Number of Channels: 2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
- Surround Sound Supported: Other (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
- High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 28 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 20 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Sampling Rate Supported: 96 (Generally, the higher the sampling rate, the greater the quality of audio and/or video.)
- Peak Power Handling: 200 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Wireless Multi-Room Audio: false (Technology that allows multiple speakers and/or soundbars to be connected wirelessly and play audio in separate rooms.)
- Wireless Subwoofer Connectivity: false
- Satellite Speakers: Not compatible (Using satellite speakers in conjunction with a soundbar allows for a surround sound experience; the soundbar can serve as a center channel speaker while satellites provide rear channel audio or additional front channel audio.)
- HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC): true
- Number of HDMI Inputs (Total): 3
- Number of HDMI Outputs (Total): 1
- Video
- High Dynamic Range Format: Dolby Vision (There are a few HDR formats that tell the TV or other HDR-compatible product how to best utilize its capabilities to display HDR content. HDR technology can support one or multiple formats, each with various benefits to picture quality.)
- Video Pass-through: HDR (Devices with this feature allow video signals to travel from their source to a target device without alteration. For example, a receiver with 4K pass-through would allow 4K video signal from a Blu-ray player to pass to a target TV with surround sound; without the pass-through ability, the receiver would not allow both 4K video and surround sound to be transmitted simultaneously.)

Q: Sound bar will not work with Netflix or Amazon. Dolby light comes on and will not provide sound.
A: I had this exact problem. Only Netflix and Amazon were coming in with static when playing a video. All trailers and selection sounds were fine. I was using Amazon Firestick with AV cables which didn't really work with Dobly Digital Plus. Going into Amazon Fire settings for Audio and was able to turn off Dolby Digital Plus. This stopped the issue.
A: I had a similar experience. Talked to both Klipsch and best Buy. Switched from HDMI to Optical cable and that solved the problem. Also, there is a new firmware update that with retain the sound level and the surround sound features.
A: We lost ours too. We have Cox cable (w/remote) and realized goofing around one night that if you press the music notes on the top of the Cox remote then press ‘volume’ up or down you can get volume whenever you want it. Then it is on whenever the tv is on, and goes off whenever the tv goes off. We have the optical digital connected. (Love it!) We still get up to turn it on- but that’s liveable. At least we didn’t have to buy another remote!
A: I purchased this system about a month ago and I haven't had any issues what so ever; best sound bar by far as far as performance goes. I suggest you contact their engineers and speak directly with them to see if that's a known problem if not they could try and replicate the issue on their end The only problem I have with the system Is when it's turn on there's no indicator lights on letting you know it's powered up; the only way you can tell is if you switch from one setting to the next
Q: I need a replacement remote for this product. What's the best way to get one and where?
A: Klipsch has remotes but they cost over $50.
Q: How hard is this system to hook up to my sony 4 k tv?
A: Not hard at all. I prefer using an optical cable to get the richer sound rather than trying to bluetooth from the TV. If you are going to use bluetooth, use it with your mobile devices.
Q: What’s the difference between the RSB-11 and 14, is it worth the $? Thank you
A: The 11 does not have the WiFi ability to where as the 14 does. The 14 can be set up like a Sonos system.
