l would like to share my experience after comparing and testing two soundbars – Klipsch Cinema 1200 vs Klipsch Cinema 400. The Klipsch Cinema 1200 was rated 8.4, while the Klipsch Cinema 400 has a rating 4.6.
Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. A noticeable difference is the number of channels that Cinema 1200 has 5.1.4 and Cinema 400 has 2.1. These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 1200 (overall) versus 400 (overall) according to devices. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models. An external subwoofer connects to the Cinema 1200 via wireless, but Cinema 400 has wired connection type. Rate 7 out of 10 received the Klipsch Cinema 1200 for audio features and specs, but the Klipsch Cinema 400 received 5 out of 10.

There are 2/1 HDMI inputs/outputs in the Klipsch Cinema 1200 versus 1/0 HDMIs in the Klipsch Cinema 400. As in the Cinema 1200, so in the Cinema 400 there is the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). The connectivity of each of the models was estimated at 8/10.
The manufacturer of the Cinema 1200 provides a device control application. The Klipsch Cinema 1200 equipped with a microphone. The models under consideration cannot become part of a multiroom system.
Dolby Atmos audio decoder is onboard the Cinema 1200. Devices from this comparison cannot process surround sound due to lack of DTS:X. The Cinema 1200 was rated 8/10, while the Cinema 400 received a mark of 6/10 for multichannel surround.
