Company & Product Overview
The year 2021 is going to be very special to the folks at Klipsch as it represents their 75th anniversary. In 1946, Paul Klipsch sold his first speaker out of a small tin shed in Hope, Arkansas, and launched what has become one of the world’s most popular speaker brands ever. Back then, Paul enlisted the help of a local cabinet maker and the Baldwin Piano Company to produce the first few speakers, before hiring his first full-time employee. Today, that original location is the home to the Klipsch museum, and Klipsch employs hundreds of music-loving people while being sold all over the globe.
Paul Klipsch believed in 4 design principles that lead to his first speaker, the Klipschorn. Those are high efficiency, low distortion, controlled directivity, and flat frequency response. Every Klipsch speaker made today still adheres to those same guiding principles and if you ever visit their headquarters in Indianapolis, you’ll see them everywhere!
