Patented Tractrix geometry provides the most efficient transfer of high frequency waves to the listening area. Phase cap and compressed molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response. When combined, it creates the cleanest, most natural sound possible. The second generation increases the size of the speaker for a wider soundstage and greater directivity.
Exclusive linear travel suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. The LTS tweeter is a hallmark of previous Reference lines, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in greater detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
A signature feature of the Reference Premiere Series, Cerametallic woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. New aluminum shorting rings reduce distortion as well as greater power handling and the new motor structure improves traffic response with more control with greater speed and precision.
Using Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere's ports allow for more efficient and faster air transfer from the cabinet, reducing port noise for punchier low frequencies. Klipsch Tractrix ports have custom designed interior ports that help reduce turbulence of air entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass.
