Klipschorn Reproducer

Since the late 1940’s Vitavox produced a licensed version of Klipschorn corner horn using their own drive units, mid horns and crossovers but with the bass horn designed by Paul Klipsch.
The bass section is a folded corner horn designed to occupy a minimum of space yet produce deep bass and is arranged so that the walls and floor form the final expansion of the horn.

Early models featured the S2 or S5 drivers on CN157 horns, CN232 crossovers and K15/40 bass drivers.
