To better understand the thinking, engineering, and vision behind the ProMedia Lumina computer speaker system, we sat down with Ryan Hansen, Product Manager at Premium Audio Company (RH), to talk about how Klipsch is redefining desktop audio for today’s work, gaming, and entertainment lifestyles.

For more than 25 years, Klipsch ProMedia has been synonymous with powerful, high-quality computer audio. As the way we use our desktops has evolved—from gaming and entertainment to hybrid work, streaming, and content creation—so too has the need for a speaker system that can keep up. Enter ProMedia Lumina, a modern reimagining of a classic, designed to meet today’s multitasking, immersive, always-connected lifestyle.

A Modern Vision Built on a Legendary Legacy

According to Hansen, the ProMedia Lumina was created with a clear goal: Bring the ProMedia lineup into the modern computing age. While the original ProMedia systems helped make premium sound accessible to millions, Lumina takes that foundation and enhances it with upgraded audio performance, new connectivity, smarter controls, and software-driven customization.

“ProMedia has been an extremely successful product line for more than 25 years. With Lumina, we wanted to bring that legacy into the modern computing age—new features, upgraded audio, and more control, all built around how people actually use their desktops today.”

It also marks an important return for Klipsch into the gaming space. By expanding on the brand’s long-standing leadership in computer audio, Lumina bridges the gap between work and play—supporting everything from competitive gaming and movie nights to Zoom calls and music listening.

“ProMedia Lumina expands on Klipsch’s long history in computer audio while marking our return to gaming. It’s exciting to grow the brand into this space again and continue shaping Klipsch as a one-stop audio solution.”

Engineering That Goes Beyond Sound

One of the biggest challenges in developing ProMedia Lumina was software. The goal wasn’t just to create speakers that sound great—but speakers that adapt. Paired with the Klipsch Control App for Windows, Lumina unlocks features such as Movie Mode, Virtual Surround, a 6-band EQ, Screen React lighting, and Windows Dynamic Lighting integration.

“Everyone expects a speaker to make sound. What’s even cooler about Lumina is its ability to adapt—both sonically and visually—depending on what you’re doing.”

Evolutionary Acoustic Design

Acoustically, Lumina stays true to the proven ProMedia formula—while refining it for today’s near-field listening environments. The system features a 2-way satellite design with an enlarged MicroTractrix^® horn, an active crossover, and a powerful 6.5-inch subwoofer.

“We approached Lumina with an evolutionary mindset—keeping the core ProMedia DNA while refining the acoustics for near-field listening, better staging, and smoother crossover performance.”

The result is the same signature Klipsch power and detail, with improved clarity and a smoother crossover point optimized for desktop listening.

Tuned for Music, Movies, and Gaming

ProMedia Lumina is optimized for versatility:

• Music Mode delivers a studio-accurate, uncolored response
• Movie Mode enhances cinematic impact and dialogue clarity
• Virtual Surround Mode widens the soundstage for immersive gaming

“Music mode is about accuracy. Movie mode is about excitement. Virtual surround is about immersion. We wanted users to have the right sound for every moment—not just one use case.”

The “Wow” Factor

Right out of the box, ProMedia Lumina is voiced for excitement. Sparkling highs, an expansive soundstage, and a surprisingly powerful subwoofer come together in a cohesive near-field experience.

“Out of the box, Lumina is voiced for excitement. From sparkling highs to a surprisingly powerful subwoofer, it creates a near-field experience that reaches far beyond your desk.”

From Teams calls to Fortnite sessions to movie nights, Lumina keeps users fully engaged.

Looking Ahead

Ultimately, ProMedia Lumina is about more than just a new speaker system—it’s a signal of what’s next for Klipsch in desktop and gaming audio.

“I want users to understand that Klipsch is back in gaming—and we’re building the most complete audio solutions in the space. ProMedia Lumina is dynamic, surprising, and designed to move with you throughout your day.”
