KPT-1200-VBM
The KPT-1200-VBM utilizes Klipsch Virtual Boundary Array Technology in a strong but lightweight, high-aesthetic molded cabinet suited to contemporary cinema interiors. Its 12-inch woofer with 2-inch voice coil combines with dual, skewed-horn 1-inch titanium compression drivers for wide coverage, while tight vertical dispersion creates a long-distance throw suited to wider venues. It is a high-value option for reducing surround speaker counts when cost effectiveness is the primary objective.

- Dual skewed horns with patented elliptical inserts provide even, full-frequency coverage
