The patented Tractrix geometry provides the most efficient transfer of high-frequency waves to the listening area. The phase plug and the compression-moulded silicone diaphragm ensure a smooth frequency response. When combined, they produce the cleanest and most natural sound possible. The second generation increases the size of the horn to achieve a wider soundstage and greater directivity.
The exclusive linear displacement suspension minimises distortion for improved, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference series models, making them a central component of some of the world’s finest loudspeakers.
The tweeter’s vented enclosure reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in greater detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
The Cerametallic woofers, a hallmark of the Reference Premiere series, are exceptionally rigid and lightweight to achieve minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. New aluminium shorting rings reduce distortion, whilst increased power handling and the new motor structure improve transient response, delivering greater control, speed and precision.
Using Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere’s ports allow for the most efficient and rapid transfer of air from the cabinet, reducing port noise to deliver more punchy bass. Klipsch’s Tractrix ports feature custom-designed internal openings that help reduce turbulence in the air entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise, resulting in cleaner, more powerful bass.
Dual input terminals for bi-wiring/bi-amping capabilities. Bi-wiring separates the high- and low-frequency signals into separate speaker cables, reducing intermodulation distortion to deliver clearer midrange. Bi-amping allows for customisation via external crossovers when using separate amplifiers.
Additional bracing and a split cabinet have been added to minimise cabinet resonance and vibration, ensuring maximum transparency and clarity.
Upgrading to Dolby Atmos is extremely easy thanks to the simple, concealed connections located at the rear of the speakers. These refined connections reduce the number of visible cables and keep them securely in place for better cable management.
Featuring audiophile-grade cabling and easily accessible aluminium terminals for any type of connection.
Finishes include ebony vinyl and walnut vinyl, featuring satin-painted baffles with a scratch-resistant finish.
It offers a more modern look with less resonance than MDF or ABS plastic. It is mechanically designed to minimise the surface area in contact with the floor, decoupling the speaker to deliver faster, tighter bass and greater detail.
It attaches magnetically to achieve a seamless transition from a striking display piece to a discreet performance unit.
