The Klipsch Reference Base line of loudspeakers feature premium technical and industrial design characteristics, inspired by more expensive Klipsch Reference speaker designs, but at a price that belies the sound they deliver. Tuned to work both for Hi-Fi and Home Cinema applications, Klipsch Reference Base speakers rock the house like nothing else thanks to some clever technology.

Like all Klipsch speakers, the 2018 Reference range makes use of horn technology to deliver an un-paralleled sound performance. Horn-loading allows for controlled directivity, ensuring the high-frequency energy is aimed at the listener for increased focus, dynamics, clarity and detail. Horn technology also facilities high efficiency driver operation with low-distortion, as less electrical power is required to make a louder sound. There is also Wider Dynamic Range, which makes dialogue and vocals much clearer - distinguishing clearly between the loudest and quietest sections of a performance. However, even though there is all this increased performance, the delivery is tuned with a flat frequency response, so the audio track remains exactly as the creator intended.

Cosmetically the 2018 Reference rage also makes a great leap forward, compared to previous designs. There's a new, classicly-styled cabinet made from scratch-resistant black wood grain vinyl, with a thin border edge around the front baffle. The horn structure features a neat "Klipsch Reference" logo, while the IMG spun-copper woofers have injection-moulded trim rings and exposed fasteners for a stylish industrial appeal. The floorstanders also have high-strength injection-moulded feet that angle the speaker back 2° for a look reminiscent of the latest RF-7 III speakers, and all models (excl. subwoofers) feature new magnetic speaker grilles.

90º x 90º TRACTRIX HORN

Klipsch's exclusive Tractrix® horn technology delivers the power, detail and emotion of the live music experience with the cleanest, most natural sound possible.

LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) ALUMINIUM TWEETER WITH KAPTON SUSPENSION

The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Kapton® is an extremely light and rigid material used in the tweeter suspension to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of Klipsch speakers, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.

SPUN COPPER IMG WOOFER

Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofer cones are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid – providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion. When paired with the Tractrix Horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides speaker efficiency highest in its class.
