What the Klipsch Fives Updater does

Klipsch The Fives Updater is a one-time setup tool for owners of Klipsch Fives. Its job is to install the update that gives the Fives Virtual Remote and EQ control inside the Klipsch app ecosystem. The listing describes it as a process you complete once, not a tool you keep open.

Because the update reaches the Fives through a USB drive, the app is aimed at owners who are willing to move files between a computer and the Fives. It is not a general-purpose app for everyday listening.

Updating Klipsch Fives over USB

The update starts on a computer or other device with internet access, which downloads the update files and copies them onto a USB thumb drive of at least 1 GB. The drive then goes to the Fives, where the updater installs the necessary files.

The listing puts the whole process at about 20 minutes. It walks you through each stage, so you do not need to know the file structure beforehand.

Virtual Remote and EQ on the Fives

According to the listing, the Fives can be controlled fully from the app once they are updated. The two features the update enables are a Virtual Remote and an EQ, which the listing presents as the reason for the update.

Until the update is installed, these features are not available on the Fives. The updater exists to close that gap and does nothing else for the speaker.

Pairing and future updates after installation

Once the updater finishes, the listing asks you to un-pair and re-pair the Fives with your device. This resets the connection so the new features can be used.

After that, the listing says the updater can be uninstalled safely. Future updates come through the Klipsch Connect app instead, so this app has no further role.

Getting help from Klipsch support

Phone numbers, support tickets and other contact details are inside the app. The listing also points to support.klipsch.com for online help.

The listing states that the Product Support team can walk users through the process if they get stuck partway through the update.
