Among the many demonstrations attracting sound and image enthusiasts at the Paris Audio Video Show 2025 (PAVS), Klipsch took center stage. A private cinema, a fully-equipped American pick-up truck, new hi-fi products… Visitors discovered spectacular sound installations, backed by the expertise of the American brand. Here’s an overview of the experiences offered this year by Klipsch and its partners.
A private cinema with a professional look
For the first time in France, Klipsch presented its Real Custom Cinema (RCC) system in a private room custom-designed with AV Concept Products. Located on the third floor of the Palais des Congrès, this Dolby Atmos 7.4.4-channel installation offered a sound experience worthy of the greatest movie theaters. The acoustics were meticulously planned, with an acoustically transparent screen and perfect integration of the speakers behind it.
The RCC-122 system used for the occasion is the largest model in the range. It comprises LCR modules and two subwoofers. The whole system is driven by the Integra DRX-8.4 AV receiver. The result was striking in its power, precision and ability to immerse PAVS audiences in an enveloping world of sound.
Sacha Tabarly, co-founder of AV Concept Products, sums up the scope of this installation: “We named the Klipsch room “You’re Not Ready.” Why? Because their Klipsch RCC speakers deliver a wall of sound with such emotional intensity that even the most seasoned movie buffs have never experienced it at home.”
RAM 1500 Tungsten 2025
Another must-see at the Paris Audio Video Show was the RAM 1500 Tungsten 2025 pickup featuring a Klipsch Car Audio system. Visitors to the show were able to climb aboard the 2.6-ton vehicle to discover a Klipsch Reference Premiere in-car audio system developed with Panasonic Automotive. The system features 23 speakers throughout the cabin, including titanium tweeters, a 12-inch subwoofer and high-power midbass drivers in each door.
This system totals over 1,200 watts. It uses Panasonic’s DJX 3D Surround algorithm to recreate an immersive soundstage, optimized by active noise cancelling. The design of the components is inspired by the Klipsch Reference Premiere audiophile series, with metal grilles integrated into the motifs of the interior.
The sound experience offered on board the RAM combined clarity, dynamism and immersion. It illustrated Klipsch’s determination to broaden its scope of application in the automotive sector, while maintaining audiophile standards.
Exclusive Heritage hi-fi demonstrations
Last but not least, hi-fi enthusiasts also visited room 343, where Klipsch held exclusive demonstrations throughout the weekend. The American company unveiled the new speakers in its Heritage range: the Klipschorn AK7 and La Scala AL6.
These iconic speakers, modernized in their latest version, remain true to the Klipsch DNA: high efficiency, horns, and artisanal design. They complete the brand’s top-of-the-range hi-fi offering, aimed at the most discerning enthusiasts.
Summary
At the Paris Audio Video Show 2025, Klipsch illustrated its mastery of sound in all its forms: private cinema, in-car audio, high-end hi-fi. The RCC installation demonstrated that a domestic living space can reach the acoustic level of a professional room. The RAM 1500 pick-up proved that high-fidelity can now be found in cars. Last but not least, the new Heritage references testified to the continuity of a long-standing tradition of excellence. Visitors to the show could experiment with a variety of configurations, all driven by the same ambition: to push the limits of immersive sound.
