As the intermediate floorstander in our
high-end luxury Palladium™ Series, the P-38F
features the flagship P-39F’s technology and
gallery-like appearance in a slightly smaller, but
equally stunning package.

The P-38F’s carbon-infused, thermoset
composite dual-horn configuration is unique
to the Palladium family. It consists of a propri-
etary tweeter design, combining a chambered
phase plug and Tractrix

®

Horn for extended

high-frequency response; a second 90º by 60º
acoustically damped Tractrix Horn is coupled
to the midrange driver, resulting in precise
performances.

The three low-frequency drivers employ 8"
hybrid cone woofers, powered by a three-
part neodymium magnet structure with dual
stabilizing rings. Four ports on the rear of the
speaker enhance low-distortion bass response.
Each woofer’s voice coil responds accurately
to the smallest signal modulation, yet can also
handle the high power of the most demanding
soundtracks.

Designed with an eye toward home interior
and furniture designs, the P-38F has a signa-
ture style that blends classic Klipsch audio
and a clean, contemporary look. Its unique
enclosure hints at the power inside, while
maintaining a high degree of beauty. Next to
its shape, the most striking visual statement is
the zebra-grain Linia veneer available in
natural, merlot or espresso. The horizontal
linear grain and absence of visible fasteners
further add to its appeal.
