Klipsch RP-500C Overview

Bring pure, natural sound to your home theater with the ebony Reference Premiere RP-500C 2-Way Center Channel Speaker from Klipsch. Featuring a 1" titanium LTS vented tweeter paired with a hybrid Tractrix horn and two 5.25" spun copper Cerametallic woofers, this center channel speaker delivers a frequency response of 60 Hz to 25 kHz.

90 x 90° Silicone Composite Hybrid Tractrix Horn
The RP-500C incorporates a Tractrix horn designed to enhance efficiency and increase detail while focusing high frequencies towards the listening area. The horn uses a phase plug and a compressed molded silicone face to ensure smooth frequency response and deliver clean, natural sound.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter
The speaker's design includes a Linear Travel Suspension tweeter that minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance.
Vented Tweeter Design
The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics. This tweeter design results in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
Spun Copper Cerametallic Woofers
The RP-500C's Cerametallic woofers combine high rigidity with a lightweight construction to minimize distortion. They pair seamlessly with the Tractrix horn-loaded LTS tweeter to deliver enhanced speaker efficiency.
Tractrix Ports
Using Tractrix geometry, the RP-500C's ports allow for efficient, fast air transfer from the cabinet, reducing port noise and resulting in punchier low frequencies. Inner flares help reduce air turbulence entering the ports for cleaner and more powerful bass.
Furniture-Grade Materials and Finishes
The speaker cabinet boasts an ebony vinyl finish, as well as satin-painted baffles with a scratch-resistant finish.
Strong, Flexible, Removable Grille
The speaker's strong and flexible magnetic grille can be easily mounted/removed.
Design Details
The RP-500C's design includes copper anodized trim rings, satin painted baffles, and a laser-etched logo.
