Premium Fully Horn-Loaded Loudspeaker
The Klipschorn®, the first Klipsch speaker ever produced, is bolder and more beautiful than ever. The new Klipschorn AK7 Premium Loudspeaker features book-matched veneers in Black Ash, American Walnut, and new American Auburn colorways, as well as a new extended phase plug, cinema-grade 3" compression driver, patented Tractrix mid-range horn with Mumps technology, and an optional active external DSP designed to bring out the best in our legacy loudspeaker.
THREE-WAY, HORN-LOADED EFFICIENCY
The Klipschorn’s three-way, horn-loaded system makes it leagues more efficient than the average loudspeaker. For the AK7, we couple each driver to a precisely measured horn and optimize it for one of three pass-bands. This design generates greater acoustic power with less wattage, producing crystal clear sound with minimal distortion across the frequency spectrum.
EXTENDED PHASE PLUG FOR HEAVENLY HIGHS
We’ve paired our K-771 compression driver with a new, patented, extended phase plug to prevent cancellations and equalize wavelengths for cleaner dispersion. That means you get more coverage and clarity than ever before.
3" COMPRESSION DRIVER PUMPS UP THE POWER
Our new, cinema grade, mid-range K1133 compression driver adds a full inch to the drivers on previous AK6 models. Hand-built in Hope, Arkansas, the larger compression area increases sound pressure to the horn’s throat for more voluptuous volume.
SPREAD THE SOUNDSTAGE WITH TRACTRIX AND MUMPS
The AK7 gets the Tractrix® treatment. The new K-406M patented Tractrix mid-range horn features a shorter, 2" throat for unparalleled presence and precision. Mumps technology improves coverage, adding small contours to help maintain frequency response to the horn’s edge.
BRING OUT THE BASS
The Klipschorn’s fully enclosed low-frequency horn, paired with the powerful K-33-E 15" woofer, delivers deep, rich bass with remarkable clarity and impact. Its innovative folded horn design increases bass extension and efficiency.
