Klipsch XL12 2-Way Black Icon X Series L/C/R Speaker

What's inside

Perhaps the most important loudspeaker in a home theater system is the center channel — because as much as 80 percent of the information in a surround soundtrack may come from there! The Icon X Series XL12 can fill a room with brilliant, soulful sound because it incorporates Klipsch's flagship technology. Engineered by the best in the industry, the XL12 utilizes a premium titanium diaphragm compression driver and a high-output fiberglass cone woofer. But what makes this LCR speaker special is an all-new patent-pending Tractrix horn-loaded tweeter with XT technology. For over 60 years, horns have been the driving force behind our stunningly precise sound, and this latest design moves us farther ahead by allowing the slender XL12 to deliver an extremely smooth response with constant directivity.
Tractrix what?

Molded into a sculpted, low-diffraction baffle, the XL12's Tractrix Horn tweeter delivers effortlessly detailed midrange and treble. The Tractrix Horn's carefully calculated flare dramatically increases driver efficiency, allowing production of very high sound levels with minimal amplifier power and no strain or distortion. It also controls the sound's directivity, ensuring excellent coverage of the listening area while minimizing detail-obscuring reflections off of walls, floor, and ceiling. Fed by a smooth, accurate titanium-dome tweeter, the Tractrix Horn is the key to the vibrantly realistic, emotionally compelling Klipsch Sound Experience.
Signature sound, signature style

Offering more than just a signature sound, the XL12 also has a signature style. Its beautifully crafted aluminum extruded enclosure, featuring an anodized black-grain finish and high-gloss black accents, is the direct result of our engineers' quest for perfect balance. In fact, it's a look that brings a splash of sophistication to any room.
Performance at its best

The entire Icon Series is performance at its best, capturing the spirit of our past and pushing us into the future. It is a brilliant representation of how our products have evolved and remained desirable over time. After just one listen, the Icon sound will be imprinted in your consciousness.
