Klipsch® Palladium™ P-39F
Speaker the Pinnacle of Horn-Loaded Technology

Soundscape Price:Call
Klipsch developed its new flagship Palladium™ P-39F floorstanding
speaker to be a universal masterpiece of sound and design. The company plans
to use this ultra-luxury product with unprecedented proprietary technologies
to fulfill the most exacting demands of select customers around the world.
“Offering the highest level of perfection in every respect, this
speaker is the pinnacle of modern-day horn-loaded technology and craftsmanship,”
said Jim Garrett, Klipsch director of product planning. “Steady global growth
of the Klipsch® brand has proven to more and more people that horn-loaded speakers
just sound better. Now that the Klipsch name is highly recognized and trusted
on a much broader scale, we believe the market is ready to experience our more
esoteric side.”
A 3.5-way Tapered Array design, the P-39F employs a new, proprietary
horn-loaded tweeter assembly made of unique acoustically-damped materials, a
sophisticated inverted dome midrange, and three high-output woofers to create
a stunningly precise audio experience with high sensitivity and extremely low
distortion.
Developed from the ground up, the speaker’s ¾-inch titanium diaphragm
tweeter utilizes two powerful neodymium magnets and a resistively damped back
chamber. A uniquely chambered phase plug and exclusive Tractrix® Horn combination
delivers an extended high-frequency response that is inherently flat from 3kHz
to 30kHz.
Additionally,
this arrangement reduces heat levels so that the driver will maintain its full
dynamic capability at any volume level.
Housed in its own acoustically-tuned, sealed enclosure, the P-39F
midrange employs a 4.5-inch inverted aluminum diaphragm driver powered by three
high-temperature neodymium magnets, allowing it to operate effortlessly from
500Hz to 3kHz. A copper-capped pole piece reduces inductance modulation, giving
a low-distortion, clean sound. The 1-inch voice coil not only delivers high
sensitivity, but also generates a very responsive and accurate moving system.
The midrange’s lightweight foamed rubber surround allows the
P-39F to achieve improved linear excursion, especially in the high-frequency
range. The midrange driver is coupled to a 90-degree by 60-degree acoustically-damped
Tractrix Horn via a four-to-one compression phase plug, which is specifically
designed to operate over the midrange frequencies.
The P-39F’s three low-frequency drivers employ 9-inch hybrid
cone woofers (made of aluminum, Rohacell® and Kevlar®), powered by a unique
three-part neodymium magnet structure with dual stabilizing rings that reduce
nonlinear flux. Triple ports further enhance low-distortion bass response. Each
woofer’s 1.5-inch voice coil responds accurately to the smallest signal modulation,
yet can also handle the high power of the most demanding soundtracks.
For signal purity and perfect driver integration, the P-39F’s
crossover network features the finest components. When combined with the smooth,
natural roll off of the drivers, the network creates a fourth-order electro-acoustic
filter. Found in a damped region of the speaker’s base plate, the network also
allows the tri-wire input connectors to be hidden from view.
Featuring a “boat-tail” enclosure, the P-39F’s cabinet walls
are up to 30mm thick with multiple laminations of medium density fiberboard
that have been molded through a proprietary process. Extensive internal bracing
gives the speaker a more rigid and structurally sound enclosure.
It is also important to note that every P-39F comes as a “matching”
left and right speaker pair. Not only are all of the driver components within
each particular set acoustically matched, their cabinets also coordinate with
one another by positioning their triple ports on opposite sides and sharing
the same wood grain finish.
Having worked in conjunction with BMW Group DesignworksUSA—a
global design consultancy that has done projects for BMW Group vehicles as well
as other premium brands—Klipsch was able to make the P-39F a truly unique and
elite statement piece. Palladium P-39F floorstanders will begin shipping to
select specialty retail outlets in January. For a complete home theater experience,
six other globally-inspired high-end models which use the same technology and
design principles as the P-39F will launch in April.

Klipsch Files Lawsuit Against Multiple Internet Sales Violators
INDIANAPOLIS (January 5, 2004) -- Klipsch Audio Technologies, a leading manufacturer
of loudspeakers, today announced it has filed suit in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of Indiana against companies operating the following
internet sites: crazyeddie.com, 50TopSellers.com, AuthorizedElectronics.com,
TheBestPriceStore.com, and HomeTheaterPhiles.com. Klipsch is seeking recovery
of damages as well as an injunction to prevent the defendants from inducing
authorized dealers to transship Klipsch products, interfering with the contractual
relationships between Klipsch and its authorized dealers, infringing on Klipsch
trademarks, illegally using Klipsch's copyrighted materials, and otherwise competing
unfairly with Klipsch. "The unscrupulous procurement, promotion and sale of
Klipsch-branded loudspeakers by unauthorized resellers will not be tolerated
and we will exhaust every legal avenue to expose their corrupt business practices,"
said Mike Klipsch, Klipsch's executive vice president and chief operating officer.
"These free-riders are capitalizing on the hard work and substantial investment
that Klipsch and its authorized dealers have made in the promotion of the Klipsch
brand identity. We simply will not allow them to hide behind e-mail addresses
and damage the quality, integrity and value of the authorized Klipsch dealer
network." Mike Klipsch alleged that all of the defendants remove the official
Klipsch serial number labels from the products and have gone as far as to attach
counterfeit labels. "One purpose of the serial number labels is to give consumers
confidence that they are purchasing an authentic Klipsch product with full manufacturer's
warranty," Klipsch said. "Clearly, the extreme measures taken by the defendants
highlights their intent to deceive unsuspecting consumers and capitalize illegally
on the Klipsch image. We intend to shine a bright light on these activities
and stop them." Mike Klipsch said all of these violators illegally use Klipsch's
trademarks and copyrighted materials -- critical pieces of the positive image
Klipsch has projected since 1946. He said the Klipsch brand is registered in
over 30 countries and that the Indianapolis-based company would not permit these
relative newcomers to damage the global brand image Klipsch has spent 60 years
building. Citing a zero tolerance policy for transshipping as grounds, Klipsch
has terminated relationships with 16 of its authorized dealers to date, totaling
more $5 million in revenue. According to Klipsch's new president, Paul Jacobs,
Klipsch has no problem giving up millions more in revenue if that's what it
takes to stop the transshipping. "We will aggressively protect our brand and
tirelessly pursue anyone who engages in activities that diminish the Klipsch
brand integrity. The buying experience, product quality, customer and technical
services and warranty promise are essential to Klipsch's premium reputation.
Klipsch and only Klipsch will choose to whom we distribute our products. Dealers
who violate our agreements will continue to be terminated and we will begin
meeting these unauthorized resellers in court." Klipsch has also retained the
services of NetEnforcers.com, a brand protection company that assists Klipsch
with shutting down auctions by unauthorized dealers using third party web sites
such as Ebay and Yahoo. Klipsch officials said NetEnforcers.com has the bandwidth
to continuously and tirelessly investigate Internet sales violations, file the
appropriate paperwork with the third party web sites, and remove illegal auctions
the same day they are found. Klipsch Audio Technologies is a privately held
global corporation with worldwide headquarters in Indianapolis, manufacturing
facilities in Hope, Arkansas, and wholly-owned subsidiary Klipsch Europe BV
in the Netherlands. Klipsch manufactures premium home, commercial, professional
cinema, and multimedia loudspeakers under the Klipsch brand name, and high-end
amplifiers, preamplifiers, and processors under the Aragon brand name. (30)
