Klipsch has announced the release of its latest Heritage series audio device. The new Heritage Theater Bar blends classic design with modern tech.
The sound bar features three channel support with left, center, and right channels. With that said, this is a passive speaker device so users will need a separate amplifier or receiver to power it.
