\nThe Forte IV hosts a three-way design utilizing a 12\u201d woofer and horn-loaded midrange and tweeter. The Forte IV incorporates an all-new K-702 midrange compression driver, featuring a polyimide diaphragm for exceptional detail and dynamics. The K-702 midrange is mated to a modified Tractrix\u00ae horn \u2014 featuring our patented Mumps technology for even polar response of mid frequencies, giving you more consistent sound throughout the listening area. The titanium diaphragm high-frequency driver has an all-new wide dispersion phase plug for providing exceptionally even high-frequency dispersion for a wider, more accurate sweet spot.<\/p>\n
\nThe Forte IV\u2019s well-extended bass is found in the use of a rear-mounted passive radiator. A mammoth 15\u201d (38 cm) in size, this sub-bass radiator operates on acoustic pressure generated by the active woofer for greater bass output and extension.<\/p>\n
\nThe Forte IV has been completely revoiced from its predecessor, utilizing premium componentry in an all new high-fidelity network \u2014 minimizing electrical degradation throughout the circuitry \u2014 for truer to life sound with best in class efficiency and power handling. The new network draws from the classic three-way steep slope design of the legendary Klipschorn and La Scala speakers.<\/p>\n
\nThe Forte\u2019s premium, aluminum input panel accommodates large, high-quality speaker cables. Strong, versatile and quality binding posts provide the capability for bi-wiring or bi-amping.<\/p>\n
\nKlipsch only uses book-matched wood veneers for the Heritage series. The veneer leaves are kept in order as they are delicately sliced from the timber and precisely arranged to provide a mirror image at the splice joint \u2014 like turning the pages of a book. This gives each speaker an aesthetically appealing and consistent appearance that is treasured more than any other cut of wood veneer.<\/p>\n
\nEvery pair of Heritage series loudspeakers are grain-matched using wood veneer panels that come from the same timber. Each cabinet is carefully matched so that each speaker in the pair is practically indistinguishable from the other. The speakers move seamlessly together through the factory, and each finished product is inspected and labeled with sequential serial numbers, ensuring that your Heritage series speakers leave the factory as a meticulously crafted set.<\/p>\n
\nWhile each and every component of the Forte IV is built to last, Klipsch has always recognized the unique and critical role of a loudspeaker\u2019s cabinet in the sound reproduction process. From the craftsmen in Hope, AR to the engineers in Indianapolis, IN, Klipsch has always put an extraordinary emphasis on cabinet design. The Forte enclosure is assembled using only the highest-grade adhesives and fasteners. This is a speaker you will hand down from generation to generation.<\/p>\n
