Engadget took a tour of Klipschs HQ and took its readers along for the ride. Check it out if youre curious at how a speaker maker plies its trade. Its chock full of pics and videos so enjoy the tour.
Just so you have some background, Klipsch's headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indiana, with another major production facility located in Hope, Arkansas. The Indy HQ (where we visited) is home to a dedicated design lab, one of only a smattering of anechoic chambers in the world, an in-house painting facility, a construction lab (for building wooden mockups as well as cabinets and the like), an environmental simulator for testing product response to weather variations and an SLA machine that's used to create minuscule mockups of earbuds.
