  • Henry Kloss, 72.Qxd
    Henry Kloss, 72 By Joseph Palenchar TWICE Cambridge, Mass. — Henry Kloss, who marketed the first acoustic-suspension speak- er and first large-screen projection television, died last Thursday of natural causes. Kloss, 72, is credited with creating the consumer projection-TV business. He was also the founder of Advent and co-founder of Acoustic Research, KLH, Kloss Video, and Cambridge Sound Works. The brands of all the companies, except for Kloss Video, are still in use today. In the early 1950s, he co-founded his first company, Acoustic Research, where he marketed the industry’s first acoustic suspension speaker, the AR-1. It was the first speaker small enough to sit on a bookshelf yet capable of reproducing deep bass. While at AR, he also marketed what long-time business partner Tom DeVesto called the first affordable belt-drive turntable at $99. Kloss was the ‘K’ of KLH Research and Development, a speaker company he co- founded in 1957. There, he designed one of the first FM radios, the Model 8, said DeVesto. The compact mono FM table radio was critically acclaimed for its high fideli- ty and selectivity. It would serve as the basis for a pair of table radios that Kloss designed for Tivoli Audio, a partnership formed between Kloss and DeVesto in 2000. While at Advent, Kloss also marketed the first Dolby B noise-reduction add-on for con- sumer reel-to-reel tape recorders and sold the first reel-to-reel recorder with built-in Dolby B noise reduction, said DeVesto. A decade later in 1967, Kloss founded Advent, which in the early 1970s manufactured one of the most popular speakers in the U.S.

  • In Grateful Memory Henry Kloss.Qxd
    In Grateful Memory: Henry Kloss June 17, 2002 - Earlier this year, one of the giants of sound, Henry Kloss, 72, passed away. Kloss had a hand in founding acoustics companies KLH Research and Development Corp., Advent, Acoustic Research, and Cambridge Soundworks. But more impressive than the companies he founded are the numerous products he invented, including the first high-fidelity FM table radio, high-fidelity cassette deck and big-screen color TV for the home (see table below). Kloss exemplified the stereotypical image of the brilliant, quirky inventor. "Henry was immune to fashion," says Tom Hannaher, vice president of merchandise at Cambridge Soundworks and a longtime friend, citing Kloss sartorial touches like using a paper clip to anchor his tie and wearing shirts far beyond their lifetimes. Like many creative geniuses, Kloss was a reluctant entrepreneur: "He never really wanted to start companies," Hannaher says, but the big companies that he pitched his ideas to failed to share his vision. Kloss's impact on the acoustics industry cannot be understated. "Before Henry, all good-sounding stereo systems had speakers the size of refrigerators," Hannaher says. His acoustic suspension speaker, the AR-1, was the first small loudspeaker that could produce low bass. Kloss's KLH Model Eight FM table radio was the first device of its size that could reproduce music accurately and lock into a station without interference from other signals or stations. The KLH Model Eleven was the mother of all stereo systems. "It was the first three-piece stereo," Hannaher says. "Every boom box, every shelf system, every stereo with detachable speakers is an offshoot of the Model Eleven." Kloss gave millions of people the gift of music.

  • A Notable Passing: Henry Kloss by Tomlinson Holman
    A Notable Passing: Henry Kloss By Tomlinson Holman Maybe you noticed the recent passing of Henry Kloss, since it was an event covered by the New York Times (February 5, 2002) obituaries, and by National Public Radio, a downloadable audio version of which is archived at http://search1.npr.org/opt/ collec- tions/torched/atc/data_atc/seg_137575.htm. But then again, for younger people in the business, and for those with no connection to the consumer side of things, maybe you don’t even know who he was. Henry Kloss probably had more to do with how sound is heard in the home, and how pictures are made for a certain level of home theater, than just about anyone. As a 24-year-old in 1954, he did most of the production work on the first acoustic suspen- sion woofer/box combination, the AR-1, following the theory of his instructor Edgar Villchur. Henry was already in the loudspeaker business, and he saw real market pos- sibilities in this invention, and he and Villchur capitalized the company to exploit the idea. Using the air in a sealed box as a spring relieved the loudspeaker from doing this duty, and as the air was a more linear spring than the mechanical suspension of a loudspeaker, there was lower distortion than prior designs. It also solved the problem of “big bass from a small box,” and the acoustic suspension (or sealed box as it is perhaps more commonly called today) became the stalwart of the industry. “What really caught the public fancy, however, was the fact that the original Acoustic Research AR-1 was a small loudspeaker system having essentially flat low-frequency response down into the 40-Hz region.

OPINIONS EXPRESSED HEREIN REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THEIR AUTHORS AND ARE FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE MEMBERS. In This Issue The most important portion of this Speaker is a request for help with its publication. After 2 to 4 years of effort, some of the key members of the staff are retiring and replacements are needed. If you want to see a Volume 5, please respond now. In this months publication section, we have another winner. While Consumers Union tests loudspeakers, Alvin Foster tests preamplifiers. His much more useful review of contenders for perfect phono reproduction may be closing in on the last word. Foster tested every quality unit he could find in as many different ways as he could invent, and at last he may have found a technique for correlating subjective musical quality with numerical electronic measurement. The "why" of the method remains a mystery, but a large panel of audiophiles and designers agree it does indeed work. Renewals for Next Year As much as we appreciate the foresight of those of you who have renewed already for next year, the Executive Committee requests that you please hold off a bit until 1) an application form is printed for next year, with the proper boxes for requesting reprints of 1974-5, 1975-6, and membership for next year and 2) dues for next year are established by vote of the membership.
