KLIPSCH | LOBBY SPEAKERS TRACTRIX PORTS Just as the Tractrix curvature decreases reflections back into the horn for greater clarity, the Tractrix ports on all three Klipsch In-Ceiling distributed audio speakers significantly reduce port “chuffing” and allow more output before compression than typical ports.
