Manufacturer description

Why do you need a GMX D-5.1 multimedia speaker system? Because if you're playing Xbox, PlayStation or GameCube games without a GMX, you're missing half of the experience. The GMX D-5.1 is much more than just another video game accessory - it's more like a hidden weapon or savory cheat that helps you clear the level and beat your pitiful roommate for the umpteenth time. What makes Klipsch speakers so special? To begin with, Klipsch is a real speaker company. Klipsch has been making some of the world's most sought after loudspeakers since 1946. And Klipsch is the market leader in high-performance home theater systems as well as a leading supplier of professional theater sound systems to the world's most quality-conscious cinema operators. The GMX D-5.1 system delivers unmatched dynamic sound with an astounding 108-decibel output through its 0.75-inch metalized polymer tweeter and 3-inch metalized fiber-composite midbass woofer. The tweeter is coupled to an exclusive Klipsch MicroTractrix Horn. This advanced horn increases sensitivity while minimizing room interactions that blur the sonic detail and imaging of conventional speakers, and the ported enclosure further reduces distortion while boosting bass output. Each satellite is magnetically shielded to protect your television or monitor from interference. The 6.5" fiber-composite cone subwoofer and built-in 100-watt FTC-rated amplifier round out the high-quality componentry of the GMX D-5.1 system. Together, the sum of all of the GMX parts reproduce video game soundtracks with more power, detail, and absolute surround sound excitement than any other multimedia speaker system available.
