Get the best possible performance from your Klipschorn AK7 speakers

Alongside the release of Klipsch's new Klipschorn AK7 speakers comes their matching Heritage Active Crossover. It uses advanced DSP (digital signal processing) to make these iconic speakers sound their absolute best. Please note: using this crossover requires three stereo amplifiers, one each for the high-frequency, midrange, and low-frequency drivers.

Powerful processing for clearer sound

This active crossover was tuned by the legendary Roy Delgado for the Klipschorn's full frequency range. Its powerful processing serves two important functions. First, it performs time alignment, ensuring that the sound from each of the drivers hits your ears at the same time. Second, it helps the speakers provide a flat, neutral response by adjusting the frequency balance.

The result? You can experience the sheer output and lively dynamics that made the Klipschorn a household name, now refined for better clarity and definition than ever before.

Features

Heritage Active Crossover: The Klipsch Heritage Active Crossover is designed specifically for Klipsch's newest Klipschorn AK7 loudspeaker. Tuned by legendary acoustician Roy Delgado, this advanced DSP active crossover delivers unparalleled time and phase alignment, balanced EQ, and true-to-source response.

Digital Signal Processing: The Klipsch Heritage Active Crossover uses advanced DSP technology to precisely manage crossover points, ensuring a seamless transition between frequency bands while preserving the power, detail, and realism the Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 speakers are known for. It also adjusts for horn throat depth and wavelength, delaying the signal to specific speakers to ensure that all sound arrives simultaneously at the listener's ears.

Variable LF & HF Controls: The Heritage Active Crossover offers user-adjustable Low-Frequency (LF) and High-Frequency (HF) gain controls, allowing listeners to fine-tune the system. This ensures optimal performance across different audio setups, enhancing clarity and tonal accuracy without introducing coloration.

Balanced & Unbalanced Connectivity: The Heritage Active Crossover is outfitted with both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectivity. A balanced XLR connection provides stronger audio signal with better noise rejection and higher sound quality.

XLR Inputs/Outputs: There is a set of set of balanced XLR inputs and four sets of balanced XLR outputs.
RCA Inputs/Outputs: There is a set of unbalanced RCA inputs and four sets of unbalanced RCA outputs.

AC Power Cord: The Heritage Active Crossover comes with a detachable AC power cord that will plug into the back of the unit and into and AC wall outlet or surge protector/line-conditioner (sold separately).

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
