The Klipsch Synergy Series SS-1 surround speaker is the first model to use Klipsch's exclusive Wide Dispersion Surround Technology (WDST), which provides superlative performance even in listening areas with less than ideal configurations. The SS-1 uses two 1-inch magnetically shielded aluminum dome compression drivers with 90 x 60-degree Tractrix Horns and a 5.25-inch magnetically shielded woofer to deliver high output with low distortion, broad dynamics, and controlled coverage. It boasts a sensitivity of 94 dB, which puts it at the head of the class in output capability. Other benefits include a 5-inch square Tractrix Horn for sonic harmonization with every Synergy system, multi-way, gold-plated binding posts, and simplified keyhole wall attachment slots.
Effective surround sound requires two key, yet opposite attributes. The sound must be enveloping to place you in the middle of the action, as well as correctly localize specific sounds so what you hear matches what you see. Klipsch Tractrix Horns deliver a 90-degree wide by 60-degree high output pattern. By aligning two horns at 90 degrees with respect to each other, along with a front-firing woofer, WDST surrounds smoothly cover a 180-degree horizontal arc. The surround points at you no matter where you are seated, drawing you into the middle of the action. WDST is not only the most effective surround technology, but also allows the greatest number of placement options available.

Klipsch Synergy Series Technology
The Klipsch Synergy Series is a complete, matched family of high performance loudspeakers that offers superior home theater and two-channel performance. This series offers a choice of two bookshelf speakers, the SB-2 and SB-3, and three floorstanding main channel speakers--the SF-1 and SF-2 and a model with a built-in powered subwoofer, the SP-1. The voice-matched companion SC-1 center speaker and SS-1 surround speakers complete the family. A smaller version of our newest square Tractrix Horn, driven by an aluminum diaphragm tweeter, is paired with high output woofers featuring glass fiber-reinforced cast polymer frames and graphite-stiffened, injection-molded, polypropylene cones.
The rear soundfield, in a full surround system configuration, is provided by the Klipsch SS-1 Wide Dispersion Surround Technology speakers. These speakers contain an array of three drivers that flood the back of the listening room with high quality direct and reflected sound, providing both pinpoint rear channel imaging and ambient envelopment.
