Why You'll Love It.

This pair offers one of the most flexible Atmos solutions available, shifting from elevation to height/surround duty without compromising fidelity. Treble is clean and focused thanks to the Titanium LTS tweeter and Tractrix® horn, while the Cerametallic™ woofer keeps dialogue and effects articulate. Build quality and the sealed design inspire confidence across a variety of placements.

Klipsch RP-500SA II Reference Premiere Dolby Atmos® Surround/Height Speakers

Bring true cinematic height to your home theater with the Klipsch RP-500SA II Reference Premiere Dolby Atmos® Surround/Height Speakers.

The Klipsch RP-500SA II is part of the Reference Premiere II Series. A 1" Titanium LTS vented tweeter mated to Klipsch’s Hybrid Cross-Section Expanded Tractrix® horn delivers crisp, dynamic highs with reduced distortion, while the 5.25" Cerametallic™ woofer (with Faraday rings) provides clean, impactful mid-bass.
