While celebrating their 75th anniversary, Klipsch recently announced the release of the new Forte IV loudspeaker, one of their best-selling speakers of all time. The Forte IV is a member of the legendary Klipsch Heritage series and the loudspeaker cabinet is meticulously handcrafted in the USA.
The original Forte made its debut in 1985 and was out of production from 1996 until its third iteration was introduced in 2017. The new Klipsch Forte IV speakers feature updated cosmetics and the latest advancements in acoustic engineering, while maintaining the elegant design and powerful performance that have made them so popular, Klipsch says.
According to the press release, the new version hosts a three-way design utilizing a 12-inch woofer and horn-loaded midrange and tweeter, with all new state of the art titanium compression drivers for a smooth and powerful response. The new K-702 midrange compression driver mated to a modified proprietary Tractrix horn with patented Klipsch Mumps technology for even mid frequencies and consistent sound throughout the listening area. A newly designed wide dispersion high frequency phase plug to ensure the last octave matches the coverage pattern of the midrange and high frequency horns is, also featured. The rear-mounted 15-inch passive radiator produces greater bass output and extension.
The Forte IV has been completely re-voiced from its predecessor, utilizing premium components in an all-new crossover network for truer to life sound with best-in-class efficiency and power handling. Premium aluminum input panels accommodate large, high-quality speaker cables, while strong binding posts allow for bi-wiring or bi-amping. At just 13-inch deep, the Klipsch Forte IV solves space issues with its narrow, shallow footprint.
Each pair of Forte IV loudspeakers is grain-matched using wood veneer panels that are harvested from the same timber. The Forte IV (MSRP $4,500 pr.) is already available in four standard finish options – American Walnut, Natural Cherry, Black Ash, and Distressed Oak.
