Klipsch Heritage Active Crossover DSP The Klipsch Heritage Active Crossover brings flagship Jubilee technology to the Klipschorn AK7 and La Scala AL6, delivering exceptional time a lignment, phase optimization, and crossover precision for the most accurate Heritage Series performance ever achieved. Derived from the Flagship Jubilee The Heritage Active Crossover uses the same advanced DSP platform developed for the Klipsch Jubilee. Rather than using a generic processor, Klipsch engineered dedicated firmware specifically for the Klipschorn AK7 and La Scala AL6, optimizing each loudspeaker according to its unique acoustic characteristics. This allows the speakers to achieve an unprecedented level of accuracy while preserving the unmistakable Heritage sound. Designed Specifically for the Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 Unlike universal DSP processors, the Heritage Active Crossover has been custom tuned exclusively for: Klipschorn AK7 La Scala AL6 Each firmware profile has been carefully optimized to complement the unique horn geometry, crossover points, driver behavior, and acoustic performance of its corresponding loudspeaker. Active DSP Technology The Heritage Active DSP replaces many of the limitations associated with conventional passive crossover networks. Its digital processing provides: Precision crossover filtering Time alignment Phase correction Frequency optimization Driver integration System balancing Because processing occurs before amplification, each driver receives an optimized signal that improves overall loudspeaker performance. Precise Time Alignment One of the greatest advantages of the Heritage Active Crossover is its ability to synchronize the arrival time of sound from every driver. Using sophisticated DSP processing, the crossover compensates for: Horn throat depth Driver placement Acoustic path length Sound wavelength Driver timing The result is a more cohesive presentation with improved imaging and greater realism. Advanced Phase Optimization The Heritage Active DSP also aligns phase throughout the crossover region. Benefits include: Smoother frequency transitions Better driver integration Improved tonal balance Greater vocal clarity Enhanced imaging Reduced coloration This precise phase correction contributes significantly to the natural, effortless presentation for which Klipsch Heritage loudspeakers are known. Precision Equalization Each DSP profile has been engineered specifically for its intended loudspeaker. Processing includes: Frequency balancing Response smoothing Tonal optimization Spectral correction Driver matching Acoustic refinement Klipsch describes the resulting performance as flatter, more neutral, and more color-free while preserving the character of the Heritage Series. Bi-Amplification Required The Heritage Active Crossover is designed for active operation. Using separate amplifier channels for the low-frequency and high-frequency sections provides: Better amplifier control Increased dynamic headroom Lower distortion Improved transient response Greater system flexibility Superior driver performance The active architecture enables the DSP to optimize each driver independently before amplification. Compared to a Passive Crossover Traditional passive crossovers rely on capacitors, inductors, and resistors located inside the loudspeaker cabinet. The Heritage Active DSP offers several advantages: Digital crossover precision Time-domain correction Phase optimization Precise equalization Better driver integration Greater consistency While the passive crossover already delivers outstanding performance, the active DSP unlocks an even higher level of refinement for compatible Heritage models. Designed for Heritage Enthusiasts The Heritage Active Crossover is ideal for listeners who want to maximize the performance of their Klipschorn AK7 or La Scala AL6 systems. It is especially well suited for: Dedicated listening rooms Reference stereo systems Tube amplifier systems High-end solid-state systems Custom Heritage installations By optimizing crossover behavior before amplification, the DSP helps these legendary loudspeakers perform closer to their full potential. Premium Construction Like Klipsch Heritage loudspeakers, the Active Crossover has been engineered with premium components and attention to long-term reliability. Features include: Precision digital processing High-quality analog circuitry Dedicated firmware Professional connectivity Rack-friendly design Engineered in Indianapolis The crossover integrates seamlessly into a high-end Heritage audio system. System Integration The Heritage Active Crossover works best when paired with premium electronics. Because active operation requires dedicated amplifier channels, the system offers tremendous flexibility for enthusiasts building a reference-quality stereo system. Sound Quality Listeners can expect: Greater coherence Improved imaging Better focus Lower perceived distortion More natural tonal balance Enhanced musical realism By combining time alignment, phase correction, and precision equalization, the Heritage Active DSP allows the Klipschorn AK7 and La Scala AL6 to perform with remarkable accuracy while preserving their signature dynamics and effortless presentation. Bringing Jubilee Technology to More Heritage Systems The Klipsch Heritage Active Crossover represents one of the most significant advancements ever offered for the Heritage Series. Borrowing directly from the flagship Jubilee platform, it combines advanced DSP processing, precise crossover control, time alignment, phase optimization, and custom loudspeaker tuning into a dedicated component engineered specifically for the Klipschorn AK7 and La Scala AL6. For Heritage enthusiasts seeking the highest level of performance, the Heritage Active Crossover delivers a new standard of precision and musical realism.
