Klipsch PRO-1200SW 12-inch In-Wall Subwoofer

Klipsch PRO-1200SW In-Wall Subwoofer

The Klipsch PRO-1200SW is a hidden, high-performance in-wall subwoofer designed for premium custom installations where deep bass is essential—but floor space and visible gear aren’t. Its ultra-slim enclosure installs neatly in a standard stud bay before drywall goes up, delivering clean, dynamic low frequencies for both music and movies while staying completely out of sight. A 12” long-throw Cerametallic™ woofer and a rigid sealed MDF cabinet provide tight, accurate impact without the boom. Finish the install with a magnetic, bezel-free, paintable square grille that blends seamlessly into luxury living spaces and dedicated home theaters. The Klipsch PRO-1200SW is part of ListenUp's Klipsch In-Wall Speakers Collection.

What It's Good At:

• Producing powerful, controlled bass from a fully hidden behind-the-drywall design
• Fitting in-wall installs where space is limited thanks to a very shallow cabinet depth
• Delivering tight, accurate low end with a sealed MDF enclosure for clean transient response
• Integrating cleanly into luxury rooms with a magnetic, paintable, bezel-free grille
• Handling demanding cinema dynamics with high output capability and strong power handling
• Pairing especially well with Klipsch KDA Series DSP amplifiers using PRO-optimized presets

Klipsch PRO-1200SW Q&A:

Does the PRO-1200SW have a built-in amplifier?

No—this is a passive in-wall subwoofer and requires an external subwoofer amplifier to power it.

What type of wall construction is it designed for?

It’s designed primarily for new construction installs before drywall goes up, and it’s also described as installable for retrofit/new construction using included wood screws.

Will it fit in a standard stud bay?

Yes. It’s designed to install directly into a standard 16" on-center stud bay.

How deep is the enclosure inside the wall?

It’s built to be ultra-slim for in-wall installs; the product materials list a very shallow depth, with mounting depth around 3.4–3.47 inches and an MDF enclosure depth feature called out at 3.75 inches.

What cutout size is required to expose the driver?

Cutout dimensions are listed around 14.1"–14.25" square, depending on the document reference.

Is the grille visible, and can it be painted to match the wall?

The grille is designed to disappear visually—it’s a magnetic, bezel-free, paintable square grille for a clean, seamless look.

What kind of bass performance should I expect?

It’s rated down to 21Hz–100Hz (±3dB) with high output capability (up to 112dB @ 70Hz), delivering impactful low frequencies for both movies and music.
