Klipsch RP-502S II Surround Speakers
Bring cinema-caliber immersion to your home theater with the Klipsch RP-502S II Reference Premiere surround speakers. The Klipsch RP-502S II are part of the Reference Premiere Series. Each cabinet deploys Klipsch’s Wide Dispersion Surround Technology (WDST) with dual horn-loaded LTS titanium tweeters and dual 5.25" Cerametallic woofers to blanket a wide listening area with seamless, precisely placed effects. The second-generation Hybrid Tractrix horn and vented tweeter design lower distortion and sharpen detail, while the sealed, internally braced MDF enclosure maintains tight, articulate transients. Finished in furniture-grade ebony or walnut with low-profile magnetic grilles, the RP-502S II blends premium build with effortless, room-filling surround performance.

Klipsch RP-502S II Q&A
- What makes the RP-502S II different from typical surround speakers?

- Yes. They include a convenient keyhole system for simple on-wall installation; they can also be placed on stands or shelves as surrounds or height/elevation channels.

- Are they sealed or ported?
- They’re sealed, which supports cleaner transients and easier placement near walls without port noise.
- What size drivers are inside?
- Each cabinet features two 5.25" Cerametallic woofers and two 1" LTS titanium tweeters mounted in Hybrid Tractrix horns.
- How big are the speakers?
- Each speaker measures 14.15" H × 11.94" W × 7.63" D and weighs 16.7 lb.
- Which finishes are available?
- Ebony and Walnut, both with satin-painted, scratch-resistant baffles and magnetic grilles.
- Where do they fit in a home theater layout?
