HIGH PERFORMANCE IS OUR FORTE

First introduced in 1985, the Forte quickly established
itself as the most popular Klipsch model. The elegant design and outstanding
performance made the Forte a standout among its competitors. In 2017, Klipsch
re-introduced the Forte as part of the Heritage speaker series. The new Forte
IV features updated cosmetics and the latest advancements in acoustic
engineering, while maintaining the original charisma that made the Forte so
popular.

DESIGNED AND MADE IN THE USA USING DOMESTIC AND IMPORTED
COMPONENTS

Don’t mess with perfection. We’ve made some important
upgrades to the Forte IV, but it remains relatively unchanged since its inception.
Remember great sound? We do, too. The Forte IV enclosure is still made in the
USA, by proud craftsmen in Hope, Arkansas. Just like Paul W. Klipsch (PWK)
intended.

HIGH EFFICIENCY, HIGH PERFORMANCE LOUDSPEAKER

The Forte IV hosts a three-way design utilizing a 12” 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® horn — 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.

PASSIVE RADIATOR YIELDS FULL RANGE PERFORMANCE

The Forte IV’s well-extended bass is found in the use of a
rear-mounted passive radiator. A mammoth 15” (38 cm) in size, this sub-bass
radiator operates on acoustic pressure generated by the active woofer for
greater bass output and extension.

NETWORK

The Forte IV has been completely revoiced from its
predecessor, utilizing premium componentry in an all-new high-fidelity network
— minimizing electrical degradation throughout the circuitry — 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.

BI-AMP INPUT PANEL AND BINDING POSTS

The Forte’s 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.

BOOK-MATCHED WOOD VENEER

Klipsch 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
— 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.

MATCHED PAIRS

Every 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.

BUILT TO LAST

While each and every component of the Forte IV is built to
last, Klipsch has always recognized the unique and critical role of a
loudspeaker’s 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.
