A Legend in Sound, A Tradition of Progress
Klipsch’s 56-year history is a chronicle of audio innovation, beginning with the company’s foundation
product, the revolutionary Klipschorn
®
. This astounding loudspeaker enabled people, for the first time
ever, to experience at home the power, detail and emotion of a live performance.
It is also a legacy — a legacy that has guided Klipsch speaker engineering throughout the years.
Every Klipsch loudspeaker is designed to the same live-sound philosophy that inspired the Klipschorn.
Each speaker must recreate sound true to the original in every respect: its tonality, its dynamics and its
emotional intensity. The Reference Series is our highest expression of that philosophy.
The key underlying technology remains the horn, which offers unparalleled advantages for sound
reproduction. Klipsch Tractrix
®
Horns are responsible for the high efficiency and controlled directivity
that give Reference Series speakers their unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless power.
Behind those horns are titanium-dome compression drivers of the same type used in our professional
cinema loudspeakers. These advanced-technology tweeters ensure low distortion and smooth, accurate
high-frequency reproduction. The woofers feature a new, stronger version of our distinctive copper-
colored Cerametallic™ cones, which combine lightness, rigidity and low resonance — ideal characteristics
for speaker drivers.
