The Klipsch ProMedia Lumina updates the company’s desktop speaker design with a slim, side-firing subwoofer, USB-C audio, Bluetooth 5.3 and app-controlled rear lighting. The wired 2.1 system consists of two satellite speakers connected to a powered subwoofer.
Reviewer Sarah Jacobsson Purewal identified bass response as the system’s main limitation, while assessing its midrange and highs more favorably.
Design and connections
The satellites have black woodgrain-finish vinyl over ABS enclosures, silver-trimmed drivers and integrated tilting stands. Each speaker has six rear-facing LEDs designed to cast a diffused glow behind it.
The subwoofer replaces the older ProMedia design’s cube-shaped enclosure with a narrower cabinet. It measures approximately 14 by 13.88 by 6 inches, while each satellite measures 9.75 by 6.5 by 4 inches.
Each satellite connects to the subwoofer through a 6.5-foot (2-meter) cable with a proprietary DB9 connection. The subwoofer houses the amplifier, main inputs and a gain adjustment knob. Purewal described the thick cables as difficult to organize and noted that the proprietary connections prevent a straightforward swap to a third-party subwoofer.
Audio inputs include USB-C, 3.5mm auxiliary and Bluetooth 5.3. The right satellite carries volume and multifunction buttons, a source-selection and Bluetooth-pairing button, an indicator light and a 3.5mm headset passthrough. The left satellite has a USB-C charging passthrough.
Listening assessment
Purewal described the midrange as solid and well-rounded, with highs that avoided excessive brightness. She also reported that footsteps and gunshots were easier to hear in games.
Her criticism centered on the subwoofer’s contribution: bass remained lackluster to her even after she raised both the system volume and subwoofer level. She said the strong lower midrange kept most media sounding good, but the low end lacked the impact she expected from a 2.1 system.
Software and specifications
Klipsch offers mobile app controls and the Klipsch Control desktop app for Windows. The company says the PC software includes a six-band equalizer, virtual surround, lighting presets and a screen-reactive lighting mode. It also lists Windows Dynamic Lighting support for synchronizing the speaker LEDs with compatible RGB peripherals on Windows 11 and above.
Klipsch’s support documentation describes lighting brightness controls and the option to switch the LEDs off. The company says night mode reduces subwoofer output by 50%, while auto standby can be adjusted or disabled.
Each satellite uses a 1-inch Mylar tweeter and a 3-inch midrange driver; the subwoofer has a 6.5-inch side-firing woofer. Klipsch rates the frequency response at 40Hz to 20,000Hz at -6dB and maximum output at 98dB SPL.
