The Ultimate Sound Experience™

Klipsch has been building no-compromise, premium-quality audio products since 1946. One of the first U.S. loudspeaker companies, Klipsch is now a leading global manufacturer of high-performance speakers and other entertainment products for homes, professional cinemas and commercial venues.

When Paul W. Klipsch (PWK) – one of America’s most celebrated audio pioneers and Engineering and Science Hall of Fame inductee – founded Klipsch & Associates over 60 years ago, he was hand-building every speaker inside a tin shed in Hope, Arkansas.

PWK was a relentless perfectionist who spearheaded the Hi-Fi movement. He revolutionized the way people listened to recorded music by designing the company’s foundation product – the Klipschorn®.

Still manufactured today, the Klipschorn is the only speaker to be in continuous production for over six decades and remains one of the most highly praised speakers in the world. In fact, this fully horn-loaded product established industry standards for high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low distortion, smooth frequency response and powerful bass. As a result, horn-loaded technology has – and always will be – the driving force behind Klipsch’s highly acclaimed, stunningly precise sound.

From state-of-the-art home theater systems to audiophile-quality architectural speakers and from compact iPod® and computer speakers to massive professional cinema systems, Klipsch has a premium sound solution for every lifestyle, application and budget. And as the audio world continues to evolve to meet the listening preferences of consumers, Klipsch will look to the future with an eye for the past.

Everything Klipsch does today and 100 years from now will reflect the company’s no-compromise spirit and commitment to delivering the world’s most powerful, detailed and emotional sound reproduction. So when you partner with Klipsch or buy Klipsch products, you’re part of something much bigger than cabinets and drivers; you’re part of a renowned family that continues to make audio history.
