Klipsch Install Story: PGA Golfer Austin Cook's Home


“Our friends and family have said again and again that they love the quality of sound when watching TV or listening to music. I love and recommend Klipsch to everyone!” – PGA Golfer Austin Cook

After playing multiple rounds of golf in the highly stressful PGA tournament environment, Austin Cook was looking for a way to relax and enjoy some music in his Arkansas home.

Being a long-time fan of Klipsch speakers, he knew the kind of premium sound he wanted but wasn’t sure where to start and how to take his dream speaker system from paper to reality.

Sound Concepts in Jonesboro, Arkansas was up to the challenge. Owner Ryan Heringer met with Austin and his wife Crys to craft the perfect sound system that would distribute audio throughout their home. This included two dedicated surround sound areas with an immersive Dolby Atmos and outdoor audio entertainment space.

“Once the design was complete, one of the largest challenges we faced was retrofitting the existing wiring within the home for the new configuration with a turnkey solution within a one-week timeline,” Heringer said. “Knowing the Klipsch speakers would automatically sound incredible and have simple installation processes was invaluable in meeting the deadline”.

The media room included the Klipsch Professional Series Reference Premiere and Reference in-ceiling speakers, but the highlight was the custom-sized, hand-built Heritage Theater Bar in the Walnut Finish. “This sound bar is the perfect blend of premium acoustic performance and design aesthetics. Austin’s wife was thrilled that she could customize the bar to match their furnishings,” Heringer noted.

The Cooks spend a lot of time outside entertaining, so we spent a lot of time designing the perfect outdoor living space with a premium audio system.

The area features Klipsch Professional Series in-ceiling and landscape speakers paired with a 12” full-burial landscape subwoofer. “These are my new favorite Klipsch products,” the PGA Star said of his audio systems. “I can’t believe it sounds this good outside. Our friends and family have said again and again that they love the quality of sound when watching TV or listening to music. I love and recommend Klipsch to everyone!”
