A few select companies are gradually getting AirPlay into products. Now, Klipsch is planning to put the technology into its upcoming Gallery G-17 Air soundbar.
Because the G-17 Air has AirPlay built in, there’s actually no need for any other connected components. The G-17 Air can stream music from the iTunes library that lives on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. We’re guessing that a PC or Mac is also fair game, since the unit can connect via any Wi-Fi network.
If not, you can use the built-in USB and 3.5mm inputs to hook in other non-Apple devices.
According to Engadget, the G-17 Air features two Tractrix-horned 10-watt tweeters and dual 2.5-inch, 20-watt woofers. Because the G-17 Air weighs just 7.5 pounds, it’s easy to wall-mount or place on a bookshelf, in an AV rack, or on any other available surface. It’s also easy to control, via buttons on the actual unit or the included remote.
Klipsch has yet to announce a formal release date for the G-17 Air. However, it should hit sometime this fall with an MSRP of $529.99.

A History of TV Remote Controls
It’s hard to imagine life without remote controls, but it’s been a long, strange path to the modern incarnation we know and love today.
AMAZING. This is the kind of product that revolutionize and slowly change the way we think and do business.
I know that a lot of custom guys are going to frown and disagree with us on this, but watch the industry closely; within the next couple of years and you will see a shift of products.
- RECEIVERS ARE DEAD!
- DISTRIBUTED AUDIO AMPLIFIERS ARE DEAD!
- There is a new way to do things and doesn’t necessarily have to mean that the results are sub optimal. It can really shock and surprise you.
Imagine this, no more construction. You know your costs and the client knows what they are getting immediately.
You are in and out of their house and you provide them solutions that fit their needs, budget and performance level that they are looking for.
I think that though this product is not going to be able to achieve everything for everyone, it is a step in the right direction and there will be a lot more products like it hitting the market.
Be open minded and think about it as an alternative way of doing things.
