Klipsch Audio is an American firm that specialises in home theatres, cinema installations and portable audio. The Indianapolis-based company has partnered with the Surrey-based McLaren Formula 1 team on limited series editions of its wireless headphones, but this new powered speaker system are the first standalone products to bear the McLaren Racing name.

Klipsch is an all-American brand, with 75 years of history and a proud record of building its products in the US, starting out in Arkansas (now the home of the Klipsch Museum). Indeed, the company still manufactures its Heresy IV floorstanding speaker in Hope, 65 years after the original was introduced as the first centre channel speaker.

Designed to be multi-purpose speakers that can bolster a TV set-up, stream from mobile devices via Bluetooth, or output to a subwoofer to be part of a larger set-up, The Fives McLaren Edition incorporate a high-resolution audio DSP. The woofer cone is former from carbon fibre, which the company’s audio engineers creates a ‘detailed, deep, dynamic bass [with] decreased distortion [and] a big, bold sound stage.’

The speakers have a hand-applied matte black finish, with McLaren’s vibrant Papaya Orange incorporated into the design, including on the tweeters, control panel and cables. There’s another nod to the F1 paddock, with a stability pad that mimics racing tyre tread patterns. Klipsch also has its own Connect app, which gives you a bunch of different sonic options, as well as over the air firmware updates.
