Klipsch Flexus Core 200, 3.1.2 Dolby Atmos and Bluetooth soundbar

The American manufacturer presented the new Flexus Core speaker series at the CES show in Las Vegas 2024 last January. The latter has two soundbars, the Flexus Core 100 (already presented in our columns) and Flexus Core 200, a pair of wireless surrounds, the Flexus Surr 100, and a subwoofer, Flexus Sub 100. Like its name indicates, this series plays the flexibility card, in particular with the possibility of starting with a soundbar and subsequently evolving towards a true multi-channel system. We continue the presentations with the Klipsch Flexus Core 200 soundbar.

In addition to this ability to upgrade to a [abc]5.1[/abc] configuration offered by the Klipsch Flexus Core series, flexibility also translates into the possibility of a completely wireless configuration allowing easy placement of surround speakers and/or the box.
