Klipsch The Fives speakers are dressed in the colors of the McLaren team

Klipsch has introduced a new edition of its popular active speakers, the Klipsch The Fives. Taking advantage of its association with the McLaren Formula 1 team, the well-known manufacturer has launched a special edition of its loudspeakers in the renowned orange color of the British team. Don’t worry, they are not totally orange speakers, as they would be excessively flashy. The new model combines matte black with some McLaren orange details.

The Klipsch The Fives are very versatile active speakers. They have various inputs so that we can connect all kinds of devices to them. Including the television, which will allow us to opt for this type of speaker instead of a sound bar. This new edition not only includes novelties at an aesthetic level, since Klipsch engineers designed the high-excursion carbon fiber woofer cone from the ground up to ensure maximum power with minimal cone breakage, for detailed, deep and dynamic bass with less distortion.

Even if you’re not a Formula 1 fan, the Klipsch The Fives McLaren Edition might also catch your eye. Although it is true that the American manufacturer has placed the logo of the Formula 1 team in various parts of the speakers, the truth is that the color combination proposed by this model is quite interesting.

The Fives McLaren Edition speakers feature a hand painted matte black finish. McLaren’s signature papaya color can be found on the upper control panel, inside the cone, in the McLaren logo that appears on the acoustic fabric covers and in the braided cable that accompanies the speakers. We also have a nod to Formula 1 in the rubber that equips the speakers in their lower part so that they do not slip, which has a finish that simulates a tire from the highest competition.
