RP-504C II Center Channel Speaker
Built to anchor a serious home theater, the Klipsch RP-504C II center channel speaker is designed to make dialogue lock to the screen with crisp, intelligible clarity—without sacrificing the punch and scale that makes movies feel cinematic. Its 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix® horn and 1" titanium LTS vented tweeter deliver clear, detailed highs with controlled dispersion, helping voices sound focused and natural across a wider seating area. Four 5.25" Cerametallic™ cone woofers add speed, texture, and impact for fuller midrange and tight bass, while the rear-firing Tractrix® port helps keep low frequencies clean and powerful with reduced port noise. Finished with furniture-grade styling, a magnetically attached grille, and upgraded binding posts, it’s a premium center that looks as good as it sounds. The Klipsch RP-504C II is part of the Reference Premiere II Series.
