KI SERIES PERMANENT INSTALL SPEAKERS
When Paul W. Klipsch introduced speakers such as the Klipschorn
®
, LaScala
®
, Heresy
®
and Cornwall to the
world, they not only became popular for home audio enjoyment but were utilized in many permanent
commercial installations such as houses of worship, schools, studios and music clubs - due to their
clean, high output/ low-distortion sound signatures. Today, our new KI line of Permanent Installation
speakers is built not only to the Klipsch standards of high efciency and low distortion but to address
the specic needs and performance standards of the commercial industry with rock-solid reliability.
Tractrix

Horn-loaded Titanium compression drivers deliver detailed high and midrange frequencies in
specically controlled patterns. Woofers with large motor structures provide tight, musical-quality low
frequencies. High current full-range passive crossovers allow high performance, while our exclusive
KLIP-Circuit driver protection provides day-in/day-out reliability. Multiple ypoint cabinets are built
for both resonance-free response and years of premium performance with dado lock-joint and rabbet
construction. And little to no added equalization is needed for a KI speaker’s prime sound quality to
shine through.
KI Series low frequency systems are built to provide superior musical reinforcement and are capable of
maximum driver excursion with very high output without undue stress on their drivers.

geometry on its distributed audio speakers which
gains the benets of three distinct horn types and
allows the sound wave to release from the horn with
minimal reections back into the horn. This, combined
with the reduced depth of the Tractrix
®
horn in relation
to others, further reduces distortion and improves
frequency response and overall sound clarity, even at
low background volumes.
