Klipsch RP-500C II Reference Premiere II Center Channel Speaker
90° X 90° SILICON COMPOSITE HYBRID TRACTRIX HORN Horn loading maximizes efficiently and increases detail while focusing high frequencies towards the listening area. Proprietary Tractrix® geometry provides the most efficient transfer of high frequency waves into the listening area. The phase plug and compressed molded silicon face ensure smooth frequency response. When combined, the cleanest, most natural sound possible is created. The second generation increases horn size for a larger soundstage and enhanced directivity.
LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) TITANIUM DIAPHRAGM TWEETER The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference lines, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
VENTED TWEETER DESIGN The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.
CERAMETALLIC WOOFERS – ALL NEW DESIGN A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic™ woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. New voice coils are 70% larger in diameter resulting in improved power handling and greater cone control for greater linearity and flawless reproduction. New aluminum shorting rings reduce distortion as well as increased power handling and the new motor structure improve transit response with more control with greater speed and accuracy.
TRACTRIX PORTS Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies. Klipsch Tractrix ports have custom designed inner flares that help reduce air turbulence entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass.
NEW AND IMPROVED INPUT PANEL Featuring audiophile-grade wire and easily accessible aluminum binding posts for any connection type.
FURNITURE GRADE MATERIALS AND FINISHES Finishes include ebony vinyl and walnut vinyl that boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant finish.
STRONG, FLEXIBLE, REMOVABLE GRILLE Attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece.
CORK PADS Cork pads replace rubber bumpers for security on a stand or table.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE - 56-25kHz +/- 3dB SENSITIVITY* - 94dB @ 2.83V / 1m* POWER HANDLING (CONT/PEAK) - 100W/400W NOMINAL IMPEDANCE - 8 Ohms Compatible CROSSOVER FREQUENCY - 1630Hz HIGH FREQUENCY DRIVER - 1" Titanium LTS Vented Tweeter with Hybrid Cross-Section Expanded Tractrix® Horn LOW FREQUENCY DRIVER Dual 5.25" Cerametallic™ Cone Woofers with Faraday rings ENCLOSURE MATERIAL - MDF (Internally Braced) ENCLOSURE TYPE - Bass Reflex via rear-firing Tractrix® Port INPUTS - Single aluminum binding posts HEIGHT INCHES (MM) - 6.87" (17.4 cm) WIDTH INCHES (MM) - 19.34" (49.1 cm) DEPTH INCHES (MM) - 10.58" (26.9 cm) PRODUCT WEIGHT LBS (KG) - 18.3lb (8.30kg) FINISH - Ebony, Walnut ACCESSORIES - Angle screw
*SPL at 1M, half-space anechoic with 2.83V input, in-room sensitivity
Klipsch brings the boom with a huge upgrade to the Reference Premiere lineup. Reference Premiere II speakers feature new internal bracing, new crossovers, and new drivers delivering massive sound to your home. If you're asking if it's worth it to upgrade, the answer is a resounding YES!
