Renowned speaker and audio brand KLH will make its appearance next month at CEDIA Expo since being acquired by long-time Klipsch sales president David P. Kelley.

The newly rejuvenated brand and company, which made an appearance at CES 2018, plans to use its showcase in the San Diego InterContinental Hotel (Bayview Ballroom B September 6th-8th) to show its affordable product lines leave room for custom electronics designers and installers. In that spirit, the company will unveil what it calls a “world’s first” in-wall Voice-Enabled Amplified Keypad as well as new premium stereo, home theater and architectural loudspeakers.

The KLH brand and company, which was founded by the legendary audio engineer Henry Kloss, was acquired by Kelley, former Klipsch global sales president and board member, last year.

Kelley said he plans to bring back the trusted KLH brand by reintroducing some of its famous designs, including the Model Eight radio and Model Nine electrostatic loudspeaker. Kelley also hinted that he plans to introduce some hybrids as well.

The company’s focus is in delivering an ambitious new loudspeaker line that will employ “disruptive solutions that will turn things upside down,” he said.

At CEDIA Expo, KLH also plans to unveil “a disruptive in-home streaming music solution,” the company announced.

“I am taking the brand back to its roots, to Henry’s original mission, to build world-class loudspeakers and radios at affordable prices,” Kelley stated. “I am proud to be the new owner of KLH and will honor Henry and his many contributions to the audio industry through the introduction of our extraordinary new KLH products.”
