Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit
Powerful bass is great—powerful bass placed exactly where it performs best is even better. The Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit adds simple, reliable wireless capability to compatible subwoofers with a dedicated “WA Port,” letting you send low-frequency effects (LFE) and bass information from your AV receiver/processor (or a stereo receiver with line-level outputs) without running a long, bulky subwoofer cable across the room.
This two-piece system (transmitter + receiver) is designed for easy plug-and-play operation: complete the quick first-time sync and the system is ready to automatically activate when you want to listen. With 2.4GHz operation, automatic channel selection, up to a 50 ft (15 m) signal range, and a frequency response built for deep bass content, the WA-2 makes cleaner installs and optimal sub placement far easier—especially in home theater, music, and whole-house audio setups. Use up to four WA-2 kits in an average-size household for flexible multi-room or multi-sub configurations (with compatible WA Port subwoofers).
What It’s Great At:
- Enabling wireless subwoofer placement for smoother, more accurate bass in the room
- Replacing long subwoofer cables for cleaner, simpler home theater and music setups
- Quick, hassle-free setup with automatic pairing behavior after the first sync
- Maintaining stable performance with 2.4GHz operation and automatic channel selection
- Supporting multi-sub or multi-zone layouts (use up to four WA-2 kits in an average-size household)
- Fine-tuning input levels with transmitter gain control for better compatibility across receivers/processors
