Klipsch THX-8000-S | THX Ultra2 In-Wall Surround Speaker

The Klipsch THX-8000-S is a THX Ultra2-certified in-wall surround speaker designed to deliver immersive cinematic sound while preserving the clean appearance of a custom home theater. Featuring Klipsch's diffuse Tractrix horn array, dual titanium dome tweeters and an 8-inch aluminum cone woofer, it creates an enveloping surround sound experience with precise effects and consistent coverage throughout the listening area.

Unlike a conventional direct-radiating loudspeaker, the THX-8000-S uses two 1-inch titanium dome neodymium tweeters in a diffuse horn configuration to distribute high-frequency sound across a wider listening area. This design helps create the spacious, ambient surround effects essential to convincing multichannel movie soundtracks.

Its sealed enclosure provides predictable acoustic performance, while the shallow 3.88-inch mounting depth and edge-to-edge grille allow it to integrate discreetly into dedicated theaters and premium media rooms. When paired with Klipsch THX-certified front speakers and subwoofers, the THX-8000-S helps create a cohesive cinematic sound system.

Engineered for Immersive Surround Sound

The THX-8000-S is purpose-built for the surround channels of a dedicated home theater. Its diffuse Tractrix horn array distributes high-frequency information across the listening area, helping ambient effects and soundtrack details blend into a spacious sound field rather than drawing attention to individual speaker locations.

This makes it particularly suitable for theaters with multiple seating positions, where consistent surround coverage is essential. The dual-tweeter configuration and 8-inch woofer work together to reproduce everything from subtle environmental effects to dynamic cinematic sequences.

The sealed cabinet simplifies architectural integration by reducing the influence of the wall cavity on the speaker's acoustic performance. Its shallow mounting depth and edge-to-edge grille allow installation in side or rear walls without the visual intrusion of conventional surround loudspeakers.

For a complete THX home theater, the THX-8000-S can be paired with Klipsch THX-8000-L in-wall front speakers and dedicated subwoofers. Proper speaker placement, bass management and system calibration help ensure seamless transitions between channels and a consistent listening experience.
