INDIANAPOLIS (December 5, 2012) — Klipsch, a leading global speaker manufacturer, announces today a strategic partnership with the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Indiana Pacers. With the 2012-2013 NBA basketball season underway, Klipsch will serve as the official headphone partner of the Pacers to further impact brand visibility in its global headquarter city of Indianapolis and with the league’s national audience.



"The Indiana Pacers are proud to partner with Klipsch, a local company that is a world-wide leader in the speaker industry", stated Jim Morris, president of Pacers Sports & Entertainment. "This will add exciting elements to the game experience for our fans and players in Bankers Life Fieldhouse."

As a partner to the Pacers, Klipsch will be highly present among the team’s players, staff, broadcasters and spectators. Klipsch will supply the Indiana Pacers with its latest headphones on an on-going basis in order for the players to personally experience the brand’s award-winning comfort and high-performance sound signature.
