SOUND EVERLASTING
Hear every note and nuance with the La Scala AL5 horn-loaded system.
HISTORIC
When the La Scala first launched in 1963, Paul W. Klipsch offered it to Arkansas gubernatorial hopeful Winthrop Rockefeller to use as a loudspeaker. Rockerfeller went on to use the speaker on a train car later on in his political career.
A DESIGN MASTERPIECE
The La Scala AL5 mixes contemporary and classic design. The updated design features a silver metallic grille clothe, a vertical-grain match to smooth the lines of the piece, and bookmatched real wood veneer finishes.
ENORMOUS SOUND. ANY SIZE. ANY SPACE.
The AL5 features a newly-designed, highly-efficient tweeter with an extremely high 109 dB sensitivity.
Our 90° X 40° Tractrix horn’s high-frequency performance creates a mammoth sound, bringing the most subtle nuances to the forefront of your listening experience.
THE MINI KLIPCHORN - UPDATED.
Sporting a 1" compression driver, a 2" mid-range driver, and a 15" woofer, the La Scala AL5 yields greater acoustic power. What you hear is the most dynamic sound possible for whatever music matches your mood!
NEODYMIUM TWEETER
The La Scala features a neodymium tweeter with a 1” polyimide diaphragm and
copper clad aluminum voice coil. This lightweight diaphragm assembly and high
strength magnet structure creates the tweeter’s high 105dB sensitivity and makes it the most efficient consumer tweeter in the market. When coupled to a 90° x 40° Tractrix® horn, the tweeter sets new levels of performance for dynamic range and output.
MIDRANGE
According to Paul W. Klipsch, “the midrange is where we live” and is one of the
most critical parts in any loudspeaker design. The La Scala’s midrange utilizes
a 2” compression driver mated to a high efficiency exponential horn that maximizes the system’s power and performance. As a result, less distortion is
produced by the amplifier and by the loudspeaker. That means clarity, accuracy
and remarkable tonal definition.
BI-AMP INPUT PANEL AND BINDING POSTS
The La Scala’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. The quality continues with AudioQuest Type 4 with Star-Quad Geometry internal wiring featuring carbon-loaded insulation, nitrogen-injected PE and solid long-grain copper conductors.
