KLH-1
The most
dramatic expression of computer control technology
Uncompromising.
That's as close as any single word comes to describing the performance of the
new KLH-1. It is certainly one of the finest speakers ever made. Its twin
computer controlled woofers provide flat bass all the way down to 30 Hz (-3
dB). Like the KLH-2 and KLH-3, it has polypropylene cones for a clear,
uncolored mid-range and high end - with remarkable smoothness and clarity - and
a control that lets you adjust the response for room placement.
The
KLH-1 is our largest computer-controlled model. At 11" x 30-1/2" x
10-1/4", though, it's not much larger than most bookshelf speakers. yet
the clarity, the openless, the precise stereo imaging, and, of course, the
accurate wellcontrolled bass of the LKH-1 can be compared with loudspeaker
systems of any size. And at any price.
Audition
the KLH-1 against the toughest competition you can think of. With any type of
music you like. You simply won't find anything better.
The KLH Analog Bass Computer, supplied with the
speakers is a separate component which connects to your receiver or amplifier.
It continually monitors the bass signal and automatically controls woofer
excursion as the needs of the music dictate, to
prevent, distortion.
The Analog Bass
Computer allowed us to design speakers closer to their theoretical performance
than ever before.
What
this means is a line of speakers that can reproduce clean tight bass equal to
optimally designed acoustic suspension speakers four times their size.
In fact
KLH computer controlled speakers will outperform comparably prieced speaakers
regardless of size. They, finally obsolete the notion that great sound requires
great furniture.
Analog Bass
Computer technology is such a big step forward in speaker design, we could have
easily quit right there. But we didn't.
After
researching a wide range of speaker cone materials, we chose polupropylene - a
material first developed for speaker use by BBC engineers.
The movement
of the polypropylene cone more faithfully reflects the electrical signal than
either paper or bexterne cones. So it reduces coloration caused by
"break-up" - uncontrolled cone movement.
The result
is exceptional definition and clarity in the midrange - particularly noticeable
on the sounds which are most familiar, such as the human voice, hand clapping,
and the subtle ambiance around instruments and singers. Of course, we chose the
other elements of our speakers with equal care.
Instead of
stamped steel baskets to support the speaker cones ours are precision die cast.
Our magnet,
assemblies are massive - bigger than those found on much larger speakers.
We even
added an acoustically absorbent foam baffle around our high-range drivers, for
smoother response and clear precise stereo imaging.
Finally, we
use genuine walnut veneers in our cabinet construction. Because we think a
speaker should look as good as it sounds.
