Klipsch Heritage Series Forte IV Black Ash Floorstanding Speaker (Each) - 1069085

The Klipsch Forte IV Heritage Series Floor Speaker

Change the way you and your loved ones enjoy music with the Klipsch Forte IV. The enhanced K-702 midrange compression driver features a modified version of the Tractrix® horn, transforming the way sounds are reproduced. Now, higher frequencies appear wider and are dispersed more evenly. The inclusion of the brand’s Mumps technology within the horn means mid-level frequencies remain consistent throughout the entire session. Of course, you can’t forget about the bass, and the Klipsch Forte IV delivers. The passive radiator located at the back of the speaker works to provide more depth for bass notes. So, no matter which genre of music you choose, each session will deliver professional, sophisticated audio every time.

Sophisticated Sound for Generations to Come

The Klipsch Forte IV was designed to provide premium audio for years to come, thanks to its expert craftsmanship. Recognising the importance of the loudspeaker’s cabinet, this section of the speaker is always carefully designed with premium fasteners and adhesives. Now, generations will enjoy rich, powerful audio experiences with their powerful floor-standing speaker. Plus, the timeless wood veneer leaves flow together to create a mirror image when looking at the splice joint. This way, each device offers an aesthetically pleasing style that will seamlessly fit into any space alongside other Heritage series speakers.

Improved Network and Wiring

If you’re someone who likes the option for bi-amping or bi-wiring, then the Klipsch Forte IV is for you. The binding posts are crafted for versatile use without needing to give up on quality. Furthermore, the carefully designed aluminum panel allows for larger speaker cables to be connected, opening doors for an enhanced listening experience. With the carefully designed interior, longevity won’t have to be a concern.

Features

• High Efficiency, High Performance Loudspeaker
  The Forte IV hosts a three-way design utilizing a 12” woofer and horn-loaded midrange and tweeter. The Forte IV incorporates an all new K-702 midrange compression driver, featuring a polyimide diaphragm for exceptional detail and dynamics. The K-702 midrange is mated to a modified Tractrix® horn — featuring our patented Mumps technology for even polar response of mid frequencies, giving you more consistent sound throughout the listening area. The titanium diaphragm high-frequency driver has an all-new wide dispersion phase plug for providing exceptionally even high-frequency dispersion for a wider, more accurate sweet spot.
• Passive Radiator Yields Full Range Performance
  The Forte IV’s well-extended bass is found in the use of a rear-mounted passive radiator. A mammoth 15” (38 cm) in size, this sub-bass radiator operates on acoustic pressure generated by the active woofer for greater bass output and extension.
• Network
  The Forte IV has been completely revoiced from its predecessor, utilizing premium componentry in an all new high-fidelity network — minimizing electrical degradation throughout the circuitry — for truer to life sound with best in class efficiency and power handling. The new network draws from the classic three-way steep slope design of the legendary Klipschorn and La Scala speakers.
• Bi-Amp Input Panel and Binding Posts
  The Forte’s premium, aluminum input panel accommodates large, high-quality speaker cables. Strong, versatile and quality binding posts provide the capability for bi-wiring or bi-amping.
• Book-Matched Wood Veneer
  Klipsch only uses book-matched wood veneers for the Heritage series. The veneer leaves are kept in order as they are delicately sliced from the timber and precisely arranged to provide a mirror image at the splice joint — like turning the pages of a book. This gives each speaker an aesthetically appealing and consistent appearance that is treasured more than any other cut of wood veneer
• Matched Pairs
  Every pair of Heritage series loudspeakers are grain-matched using wood veneer panels that come from the same timber. Each cabinet is carefully matched so that each speaker in the pair is practically indistinguishable from the other. The speakers move seamlessly together through the factory, and each finished product is inspected and labeled with sequential serial numbers, ensuring that your Heritage series speakers leave the factory as a meticulously crafted set.
• Built to Last
  While each and every component of the Forte IV is built to last, Klipsch has always recognized the unique and critical role of a loudspeaker’s cabinet in the sound reproduction process. From the craftsmen in Hope, AR to the engineers in Indianapolis, IN, Klipsch has always put an extraordinary emphasis on cabinet design. The Forte enclosure is assembled using only the highest-grade adhesives and fasteners. This is a speaker you will hand down from generation to generation.
