Is the CP-1 Incorporated In New 4.1 Systems?

[jwatkin]

Is the CP-1 upgrade already incorporated into newly manufactured ProMedia 4.1 systems?

If this is true, then what serial number cutoff or packaging label identifies the new system?

Has the ProMedia v.2-400 been officially renamed to Promedia 4.1?

The following was taken from http://www.3dsoundsurge.com/reviews/klipsch/pmv2-400.html

"Update: Klipsch has officially stopped production of the original v.2-400 and has shifted to an updated 4.1 system that uses the updated crossover network found in their new 2.1 system and the new CP-1 pre-amp they

are selling seperately to v.2-400 users for $50 along with a new price of $300. The new crossover network offers significantly better midrange, the major flaw of the original v.2-400 system. The CP-1 pre-amp that are

included in the new system offers the following features:

Enhanced Direct Path amplifier interface for lower noise, crosstalk distortion, and amplifier compression.

Headphone jack for private 2-channel listening.

MP3/Portable Music Player input jack, with front L/R channel soundcard mixing function.

Speaker Engagement switch with two-color LED status indication (green/red).

It's worth noting that upgrading the original v.2-400 with the new CP-1 preamp will NOT upgrade the crossover network. That is the midrange will not be improved. End of update"

It is all in what you pasted.. just read.

"stopped production of the original v.2-400" - translation: The v.2-400 are no longer in production..

"has shifted to an updated 4.1 system" - translation: the 4.1 is the new system

"uses the updated crossover network found in their new 2.1 system and the new CP-1 pre-amp" - translation: It includes the better crossovers and does include the CP-1

The v.2-400 has not been renamed anything since the 4.1 is a different version of it. You will know if you have the 4.1 system: 1) it usually states that you are buying the 4.1 system 2) The Box has 4.1 on it 3) the CP-1 is included
