Klipsch + OJAS kO-R1 Limited-Edition Multicell Loudspeakers with Stands

Klipsch + Ojas kO-R1

2-Way Multicell Loudspeaker with KS-12 Stands

1946, Paul W. Klipsch revolutionized the audio industry by creating our proprietary horn technology and the acoustic principles that are the driving force behind the highly acclaimed Klipsch signature sound. 

Today, in close collaboration with the visionary founder of OJAS, Devon Turnbull, we fuse nearly a century’s worth of audio experimentation, engineering and exploration into an exceptional new loudspeaker – the limited edition Klipsch + Ojas kO-R1.

Klipsch + OJAS.

Introducing a visionary partnership with renowned multidisciplinary artist Devon Turnbull, founder of OJAS, and Klipsch Audio. The kO-R1 horn-loaded loudspeaker was born from a collaboration and mutual respect between OJAS and Klipsch, blending minimalist elegance and bespoke craftsmanship with the category-defining horn technology Klipsch has perfected over its legendary 75-plus year history. 

Limited Edition.

Strictly limited edition and hand-crafted in Hope, Arkansas, the initial USA release of kO-R1 sold out quickly. Now, a limited quantity run has been produced for international markets, including Canada, in two unique new finishes. 

Legendary Pedigree.

Handcrafted in Hope, Arkansas, USA by skilled Klipsch artisans, the kO-R1 exemplifies nearly a century of speaker-building expertise, delivering a meticulously built loudspeaker of unparalleled quality. 

Built to Stun.

The kO-R1 epitomizes OJAS’s visionary design philosophy, incorporating bespoke materials such as an exposed sandcast aluminum multicell horn and Baltic birch plywood with full butt joint construction. Available in hammertone grey and figueroa wood veneer finishes with a matte black horn. 

Tech Delighters.

Embodying a minimalist ethos, the kO-R1 features bespoke materials and cutting-edge components, including an adjustable horn mount, anodized aluminum binding posts, and anti-vibration rubber feet. A laser-engraved metal ID plate adds a touch of exclusivity, while a five-step high-frequency gain attenuator provides precise sound tuning. 

Standing Ovation.

The limited edition Klipsch / OJAS kO-R1 arrives accompanied by the robust Klipsch KS-12 speaker stands, ensuring the perfect elevation and presentation for these extraordinary loudspeakers. 

Keepsake.

The kO-R1 comes with a meticulously crafted hardbound book that chronicles the journey of inspiration, research, ideation, design, and manufacturing behind the creation of this exceptional loudspeaker.
