Most dealers don't have them in yet. If they don't have them now, it will probably be mid-March before they get some. --Amy

Actually, the 4 speaker option will produce 4 distinct channels. I don't know of a software setting that will duplicate what you're trying to do, but you could always get a stereo y-adapter and plug both front and rear into the front channel of the card. --Amy

500W converter is sufficient. The v2-400 and the 4.1 sub are identical. --Amy

I'm glad they were helpful, Mike. BTW, I've been to Connersville...nice town! --Amy

If where you purchased them will take it back, then yes, I'd get the 4.1. As fawwaz mentions, keep in mind the 4.1s are 299 instead of 249, but you also get the new crossover in the satellites. If you have trouble returning them, please let me know and we can try a replacment preamp for you to see if that helps. --Amy

Hi Mike! Have you tried a different preamp yet? How long have you had the speakers? Have you considered a CP-1? --Amy

Send me an email with your tracking number, and I'll try to find out for you. Those scans are not always reliable (as far as where exactly you're package is right now). --Amy promediatech@klipsch.com

Suspicious of what? Here are the differences: 1. CP-1 included New features include: a. Enhanced Direct Path amplifier interface for lower noise, crosstalk distortion, and amplifier compression. b. Headphone jack for private 2-channel listening. c. MP3/Portable Music Player input jack, with front L/R channel soundcard mixing function. d. Speaker Engagement switch with two-color LED status indication (green/red). 2. Upgraded Satellite Speakers: Revoiced crossover networks for both intense gaming and musical reproduction. That's it! --Amy

If you are able to find someone who will ship them to you, make sure any converter you get is rated for 500W. --Amy

Well, I've been back, but I just don't have an answer yet. Go ahead and send me an email, and I'll forward it along to the appropriate sales rep. ------------------ Amy ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com 888-554-5665

We ship the new ProMedia systems from Orange, CA. All of our parts and other speaker products, however, are housed in Hope, Arkansas. The office headquarters are in Indianapolis--no warehouses. --Amy

Paragon, I feel very fortunate that we are all able to share this moment with you. It's a beautiful thing. --Amy

The satellites are shielded, the sub is not. Try moving it a little farther away from the monitor. ------------------ Amy ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com 888-554-5665

Switchblade, If the CP-1 is attached, they are the new 4.1s with the crossover. None of the existing v2-400s were re-boxed with the CP-1, and the CP-1s were not made available to any dealers (except Micron in Canada). --Amy

Since you have the Promedias, it would sound excellent! One problem with a 2-channel card, however, is you cannot get true surround sound from it, just split stereo signals. You'll also loose some quality by having to use a y-adapter, and the newer 4 channel soundcards simply sound better (clearer). --Amy

It is true. Many of our dealers had placed advanced orders, and some of those orders were inadvertantly released early, as I mentioned in a different post. So, if they say they have the new 4.1s, they most likely do. Enjoy!! --Amy

Good response from Movie Freak! I just want to add that you can purchase the satellite grills by calling 888-554-5665. Thanks! Amy

Thanks, Clifford! No, we don't have any speaker wire for sale, but that is something I've been lobbying for. I'll keep on 'em! --Amy

Interference would be louder from the rear sats, as their gain is higher. --Amy

Thanks, troyc642! And welcome! --Amy

Contact me by email about this... --Amy promediatech@klipsch.com

Do they buzz when the computer is off? Have you tried unplugging them (both from the wall and the soundcard) and plugging them back in to see if that helps? Also, check for any cable interference, such as the mouse or keyboard cable. ------------------ Amy ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com 888-554-5665

That's correct. Use the order number or the name of the place of purchase. --Amy

No, the current v2-400 has no "problem" with channel separation. The CP-1 is an upgrade, with inevitable improvements that are bound to arrise with a product almost 2 years old. Bascally, it sounds a little clearer to the trained ear. --Amy

Hi maggotbrain! (nice UserName ) The CP-1 was designed to have better channel separation, but the main features of the upgrade are the headphone jack, auxilary in jack, and disengage button. It's really up to you; if you're interested in these features, then yes, it's worth it, but for sound quality alone, the $ may be a little high. Unless of course, you just have 50 bucks laying around... --Amy
