Product Details
Klipsch RP-440D SB Passive Sound Bar
The Klipsch RP-440D SB Passive Sound Bar is a premium 3-channel passive LCR soundbar built for clean, powerful home-theater sound in a slim, modern cabinet that pairs perfectly with today’s ultra-flat TVs. Drawing from Klipsch Reference Premiere acoustics, it delivers crisp dialogue and dynamic detail using three horn-loaded 1" Titanium Dome LTS tweeters and four 3.5" spun-copper Cerametallic woofers in a dedicated left/center/right design. The result is a refined, minimalist on-wall look with the output and clarity you expect from a true speaker system—ideal for media rooms and custom installs where performance matters as much as aesthetics. The Klipsch RP-440D SB is part of the Reference Premiere Designer On-Wall Series.

Klipsch RP-440D SB Q&A:
- Q: What does “passive soundbar” mean for the RP-440D SB?
- A: It does not have a built-in amplifier. It must be powered by an AV receiver or amplifier, just like traditional speakers.
- Q: Is this a real Left/Center/Right speaker setup or a simulated soundbar?
- A: It’s a true 3-channel LCR design with separate left, center, and right channels built into one cabinet for clearer dialogue and better front-stage imaging.
- Q: How does it connect to an AV receiver?
- A: It uses three sets of binding posts—one for each channel (L/C/R)—so you wire it like three separate speakers.
- Q: Can it be wall-mounted under a TV?
- A: Yes. It’s designed for on-wall use with secure keyhole mounting, and its slim depth helps it sit neatly beneath ultra-flat TVs.
- Q: Does it include anything for tabletop placement?
- A: Yes. A glass base is included for a clean tabletop or bookshelf setup when wall-mounting isn’t preferred.
- Q: What kind of sound character should be expected?
- A: Expect high clarity and strong dynamics, with focused high-frequency dispersion from the Tractrix horn design and tight, low-distortion output from Cerametallic woofers.
- Q: What receiver power and speaker load is it suited for?
- A: It’s designed to work with 8-ohm compatible amplification and handles up to 50W continuous / 200W peak per channel (use a quality AVR and sensible calibration).
- Q: Is the grille removable?
- A: Yes. The wrap-around grille attaches magnetically for a refined look and easy removal.
