VIENNA, AUSTRIA (June 4, 2026) — Following the world debut of the kO-R2 loudspeaker during the recent Milan Design Week, Klipsch comes together with multidisciplinary artist and acoustic designer Devon Turnbull, founder of Ojas, for a unique demonstration experience outside the main venue during the HIGH END Vienna 2026, June 4-7. Show attendees will be among the first to audition this limited edition collaboration with just 600 pairs available worldwide.

“We are proud to bring this unique, intimate listening experience to the world’s biggest hi-fi showcase,” said Vince Bonacorsi, COO of Klipsch. “This collaboration has not only inspired new audiences to embrace high-performance audio but has also been critically acclaimed by the audiophile community. It’s been rewarding to see this shared vision bring the joy and art of listening back to the forefront for fans around the globe.”

Born of a visionary partnership between acoustic designer Ojas and Klipsch, the limited edition kO-R2 two-way multi sectoral horn loudspeaker is the pinnacle of audio collaboration. Handcrafted in Hope, Arkansas, USA, by the skilled artisans who have produced Klipsch loudspeakers since 1946, this horn-loaded speaker boasts a captivating Ojas-designed multisectoral sandcast aluminum horn paired with exquisite Baltic birch cabinetry, available in Red Oak veneer or Hammertone Silver with a powder-coated, matte-black horn.

At the heart of the design is the Ojas 1506 multisectoral horn, fabricated from heavy cast aluminum and finished with electrophoresis and a flat black powder coat. The exponential horn draws from key elements of classic Western Electric and Altec designs—most notably the multisectoral geometry of the Western Electric 25A throat expansion of the KS12025, combined with the faceted character of Altec multicellular horns. This results in a distinctive square and isosceles trapezoidal mouth arrangement that is as visually striking as it is acoustically precise, delivering even frequency distribution across both horizontal and vertical planes.

Embodying a minimalist aesthetic, the kO-R2 features bespoke materials and cutting-edge components, including a premium compression driver, 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. The kO-R2 is not merely a speaker, but a museum-worthy masterpiece.

The kO-R2 will be sold from direct from Ojas in the US and through authorized retailers in Europe.
