Product Overview
Where It All Began
For over 75 years, the Klipschorn has defined high-efficiency home audio. The first Klipsch speaker ever produced, and in continuous production longer than any other, the Klipschorn is the manifestation of Paul W. Klipsch’s approach to sound, designed to bring the power, detail, and emotion of live music out of the club and into the living room.
Even Better Balance
The AK7 is available with an optional Heritage Active Crossover tuned specifically for Klipschorn speakers. Trickle-down technology from our heralded Klipsch Jubilee floor standing speakers, the Heritage Active DSP aligns time and phase while boosting frequencies and balancing EQ for a flat, color-free response.
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.
Active & Passive Setups
To accommodate the Heritage Active Crossover and give listeners more options, we’ve modified the I/O panel. It now includes passive and active inputs and a passive output, so customizing your setup is easy. We’ve also moved the panel to the speaker’s back for a cleaner look from almost any angle.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Book Matched In 3 Finishes
Each Heritage Series speaker features a natural wood, book-matched veneer in one of three finishes: American Walnut, American Auburn, and Black Ash.
In For The Long Haul
Because Klipsch Heritage speakers are built to last, we offer a 10-year warranty on all current and future generation Heritage Classic speakers.
