60+ YEARS OF SOUND
Originally, unveiled in 1963, Paul W. Klipsch offered it to Arkansas gubernatorial hopeful Winthrop Rockefeller to use as a loudspeaker. Rockefeller went on to use the speaker on a train car later in his political career. This legendary loudspeaker is the modern update to its storied older brother, offering contemporary sound and looks while adhering firmly to the core principles Paul W. Klipsch developed more than a decade and a half earlier.
EVEN BETTER BALANCE
The AL6 is available with an optional Heritage Active Crossover tuned specifically for La Scala speakers. Trickle-down technology from our heralded Klipsch Jubilee floorstanding speakers, the Heritage Active DSP aligns time and phase while boosting frequencies and balancing EQ for a flat, color-free response.
ACTIVE & PASSIVE SETUPS
To accommodate the Heritage Active Crossover and give listeners more options, we've modified the I/O panel. It now includes passive and active inputs and a passive output, so customizing your setup is easy. We've also moved the panel to the speaker's back for a cleaner look from almost any angle.
THREE-WAY, HORN-LOADED EFFICIENCY
La Scala’s three-way, horn-loaded system delivers exceptional efficiency. For the AL6, we couple each driver to a precisely measured horn and optimize it for one of three pass-bands. This design generates greater acoustic power with less wattage, producing crystal clear sound with minimal distortion across the frequency spectrum.
EXTENDED PHASE PLUG FOR HEAVENLY HIGHS
We’ve paired our K-771 compression driver with a new, patented, extended phase plug to prevent cancellations and equalize wavelengths for cleaner dispersion. That means you get more coverage and clarity than ever before.
3” COMPRESSION DRIVER PUMPS UP THE POWER
Our new, midrange K-1133-HP compression driver adds a full inch to the drivers on previous AL5 models. The larger compression area increases sound pressure to the horn’s throat for more voluptuous volume.
SPREAD THE SOUNDSTAGE WITH TRACTRIX AND MUMPS TECHNOLOGY
The AL6 gets the Tractrix treatment. The new K-406M patented Tractrix midrange horn features a shorter, 2” throat for unparalleled presence and precision. Mumps technology improves coverage, adding small contours to help maintain frequency response to the horn’s edge.
BRING OUT THE BASS
The all-new, patented horn-loaded, vented system synthesizes all of the efficiency of a ported and horn-loaded cabinet, producing richer and more robust bass than ever before.
OPTIONAL HERITAGE ACTIVE CROSSOVER EXTENDS PERFORMANCE
Users have the option to add the Heritage Active Crossover tuned specifically for the La Scala speakers. Trickle-down technology from our heralded Jubilee floorstanding speakers, the Heritage Active DSP aligns time and phase while boosting frequencies and balancing EQ for a flat, color-free response.
REDESIGNED INPUT/OUTPUT PANEL
To accommodate the optional Heritage Active Crossover and give listeners more options, we’ve modified the I/O panel. It now includes passive and active inputs and a passive output, so switching setups is easy. We’ve also moved the panel to the speaker’s back for a cleaner look from almost any angle.
