A New KLH Is Coming To CEDIA
By: Alan Wolf-Twice
A reformed KLH, now owned and led by David P. Kelley, formerly global sales president of Klipsch, will make its custom-channel debut during next month’s CEDIA Expo 2018.
Kelley acquired the iconic audio brand in 2017 and assembled a team of former Klipsch execs including Greg Topp, sales senior VP; Sal Cannatella, product development senior VP; and chief technology officer Steve Howell.
KLH’s Kelley
“KLH is one of the most stories and revered audio brands in the world, founded by one of the most iconic engineers in the history of consumer electronics,” Kelley said of the late Henry Kloss, who was an inaugural member of the CE Hall of Fame.
Kelley plans to revive some of KLH’s signature designs, like the Model Eight radio and Model Nine electrostatic loudspeaker, along with a few “hybrids,” he hinted.
In San Diego, KLH will introduce a voice-enabled amplified Keypad (model VX-1) outfitted with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with aptX, and HiRES audio circuitry. The company describes it as a retrofit solution for transforming a single-source home audio system into a wireless multi-source streaming music system.
