A True Icon
For over 75 years, the Klipschorn has been delivering the power, detail and emotion of live music of the concert hall into living rooms across the globe. Defining high-efficiency home audio, the Klipschorn is experiencing a renaissance in the modern era.
Three-Way Horn-Loaded Efficiency
Klipsch couple each driver with a precisely measured horn and optimise it for one of three passbands for exceptional efficiency in the Klipschorn AK7. This design generated greater acoustic power with less wattage and produces crystal clear sound with minimal distortion across the frequency spectrum.
Extended Phase Plug for Heavenly Highs
To optimise high-frequency performance, the K-771 compression driver is paired with a patented, wide-dispersion phase plug. This minimises cancellations and equalises wavelengths, providing a wider, more consistent soundstage. This allows the Klipschorn and La Scala to deliver greater clarity and coverage than ever before.
Tractrix Mids
The AK7 and AL6 now feature Klipsch’s classic Tractrix technology for even greater acoustic precision. The new, patented K-406M modified Tractrix mid-range horn features a shorter 5,1 cm (2") throat that improves time alignment by bringing the exit point of the driver closer to the other. Additionally, Klipsch’s Mumps technology improves coverage across all drive-units, integrating small contours to help maintain an even frequency response to the horn’s edge. The result is a more natural, immersive sound experience. New mid-range compression driver.
Bring out the Bass
The Klipschorn’s fully enclosed low-frequency horn, paired with the powerful K-33-E 38.1cm (15”) woofer delivers deep, rich bass with remarkable clarity and impact. Its innovative folded horn design increases bass extension and efficiency.
Active Crossover
The latest Klipschorn and La Scala models can now be paired with a cutting-edge Heritage Active Crossover expertly tuned by legendary acoustician Roy Delgado. Drawing from the ground-breaking innovations in the acclaimed Klipsch Jubilee, this advanced crossover breathes new life into the DSP active network, delivering superior time and phase alignment, balanced EQ, and true-to-source response. These elegantly styled components fit easily in a rack or neatly on a shelf.
Redesigned Input/Output Panel
The newly designed I/O panel on both the Klipschorn and La Scala 2025 models now includes passive and active inputs, and a passive output. Both speakers are available with the passive crossover network installed; the new panel design makes it easy to switch between passive and active configurations, accommodating the Heritage Active Crossover for a plug-and-play set up.
Made in the USA
Klipsch has always recognised the unique and critical role of a loudspeaker’s cabinet in the sound reproduction process. From the craftsmen in Hope, AR, to the engineers in Indianapolis, IN, Klipsch have always put an extraordinary emphasis on cabinet design.
Every pair of Heritage series loudspeakers is also grain-matched, using wood veneer panels that come from the same timber. The speakers then move seamlessly together through the factory, and each finished product is inspected and labelled with sequential serial numbers for perfectly matched pairs.
