The Klipsch Gallery G-17 Air is the result of one of the most comprehensive projects in the brand's history, with design and acoustic engineers working together to create an audio system with a stunning appearance that seamlessly integrates into any setting. This device not only maintains Klipsch's renowned lifelike sound quality but also redefines standards in style, technology, and performance, delivering a unique and enduring audio experience.

The G-17 Air allows you to stream music in high-quality Apple Lossless sound via your home Wi-Fi network. It is compatible with iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices running iOS 4.2 or later, without requiring cables or docking stations. Additionally, music can be streamed from iTunes on a Mac or PC to one or more G-17 Air units to create a simple and effective multiroom audio system. The device also offers a USB input for direct digital connection and charging of 30-pin Apple devices, as well as a 3.5 mm analog input compatible with most available music players.

The injection-molded polymer cabinet features a front baffle curved on both sides, combining an elegant design with a solid, low-resonance structure. The cabinet’s finish, achieved through a unique twelve-step process, delivers a sleek, high-quality piano black gloss, akin to that of a fine musical instrument.

Each driver in the G-17 Air is powered by separate, high-quality digital amplifiers: 10 watts x 2 for high frequencies and 20 watts x 2 for low frequencies, ensuring balanced and precise sound reproduction.

Thanks to Klipsch's proprietary Tractrix Horn technology, the G-17 Air delivers dynamic and lifelike sound from a compact cabinet. The tweeters feature solid, lightweight aluminum diaphragms paired with precise phase plugs, providing excellent transient response and minimal distortion.

The two woofers, equipped with lightweight yet rigid diaphragms and paired with large motor structures, are designed for maximum controlled excursion. Combined with a precisely tuned, flared port, they produce tight and balanced bass.

The G-17 Air’s grille, the thinnest ever produced by Klipsch (half the thickness of a credit card), is acoustically transparent, maintaining detailed sound and an elegant look whether the grille is on or off. The absence of visible screws on the baffle is made possible by a unique magnetic grille attachment system.

The dark-tinted, tempered glass base perfectly complements the glossy cabinet and allows the G-17 Air to be placed on desks, nightstands, tables, or countertops. Alternatively, the device can be easily wall-mounted via integrated dual keyhole mounts.

The Klipsch G-17 Air exemplifies the perfect union of advanced technology, refined design, and superior sound quality, making it a system that complements both modern and traditional environments.
