INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Klipsch®, a tech-driven audio company, announced
today an anniversary partnership with Capitol Records, one of the
world's preeminent record companies and the first label established
on the West Coast. Klipsch is celebrating 70 years of bringing the
power, detail and emotion of the live music experience into homes
as Capitol Records celebrates 75 years of extraordinary music
luminaries past and present.
"Klipsch and Capitol Records, both celebrating over seven
decades, is a natural partnership of two iconic brands and pays
tribute to the important role music plays in our lives," said
Paul Jacobs, president and CEO of
Klipsch. "Music is timeless and unites people across cultures. Our
global brands are committed to the enduring power of music and the
emotion it evokes. We look forward to continuing our heritage and
legacy around this great art form."
The partnership includes special edition co-branded Klipsch and
Capitol Records Heritage Wireless products which feature
mid-century modern design, legendary Klipsch sound and the latest
technology. The Capitol One, the Capitol Three and the Capitol
Heresy speakers will be available through select retailers
beginning in 2017 and include a special edition cobranded
anniversary logo and select materials.
Capitol Records year-long 75th anniversary
celebration includes extensive projects that pay tribute to Capitol
artists spanning the past eight decades and shine a spotlight on
their historic contributions to music and popular culture. Part of
the celebration includes The Capitol Records 75th
Anniversary Collection which features albums, selected based on
different eras and musical genres, best sellers, influential works
and lesser known gems.
The Capitol One, designed to be a semi-portable tabletop
speaker, is a 2.1 stereo system featuring Bluetooth®
wireless technology and analog audio input connections. The product
is biamplified and professionally tuned by Klipsch engineers for
superior sound. The One features two 2 ¼" full range drivers and a
4.5" woofer to deliver a crystal clear acoustic performance with
great bass. The One comes with an 8-hour rechargeable battery and
is available in two species of real wood veneer, walnut or
ebony.
The Capitol Three, a slightly larger sized stereo tabletop
system, features two 2 ¼" full range drivers, a 5 ¼" long-throw
woofer and dual opposed 5 ¼" passive radiators to deliver enhanced
bass and includes a 192kHz / 24-bit digital to analog converter for
audiophile resolution. Part of the Klipsch Stream Wireless
Multi-Room Audio system (featuring DTS® Play-Fi™ technology), The
Three can receive audio input from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®
wireless technology, Analog (3.5 mm miniplug and RCA), phono
pre-amp, and USB Type B audio. The Klipsch Stream app, available
for iPhone® and Android™, allows consumers to control the system's
operations from their phones to enjoy popular music
services, internet radio and their personal listening libraries.
The Three is available in walnut or ebony.
The Capitol Heresy, handmade in Hope,
Arkansas, with custom anniversary finishes, delivers smooth,
dynamic and low distortion sound. The Heresy, first introduced in
1957, started out as a compact center channel speaker to accompany
the Klipschorn® in three-speaker stereo arrays. Today, the new
Heresy has a more powerful woofer, a bi-wire network, and a
titanium diaphragm tweeter with a larger magnet assembly.
