HYBRID TRACTRIX® HORN TECHNOLOGY

Klipsch's proprietary Tractrix® horn-loaded technology ensures the high-frequency energy of the RP-500SA II is aimed directly at the listener and reduces unwanted, artificial reverb caused by indirect sound bouncing off walls - meaning you experience the clearest, detailed, lifelike sound possible.

HORN ANATOMY

Klipsch Reference Premiere series speakers feature a compressed moulded silicon face that is matted to the 90° x 90° Tractrix horn to reduce horn resonance for smoother frequency response. Klipsch computer modelled phase plugs act as a mechanical filter to further ensure a smooth, flat frequency response while protecting the tweeter from damage.

VENTED TWEETER

A vented tweeter design reduces standing waves behind the tweeter diaphragm for a smoother high-frequency reproduction.

The titanium tweeter diaphragm's lightweight yet rigid composition exceeds the performance of aluminium, polymer or silk tweeters.

Klipsch's award-winning Linear Travel Suspension technology leverages a piston motion of the titanium diaphragm that lowers distortion and delivers real-to-life sound.

A ceramic magnet housing provides premium performance, and Klipsch Reference Premiere tweeters set the standard in acoustic reproduction.

CERAMETALLIC™ WOOFERS

Klipsch Proprietary Cerametallic™ woofers are the RP-500SA II speaker's signature statement for both sound and aesthetics. These extremely light, rigid materials hold their shape while being able to deliver lower frequencies with maximum efficiency.

WOOFER ANATOMY

Klipsch Cerametallic™ cones are matted to a dual-layer, copper-wound voice coil for exceptional conductivity.

Reference Premiere woofers are housed in a non-resonating, stamped-steel basket that’s secured to a large magnet motor for exceptional efficiency and low distortion, and matched to our horn-loaded tweeters for optimal acoustic execution.

FINISHED TO PERFECTION

The RP-500SA II Dolby Atmos speaker's ebony finish boasts a satin painted baffle with a scratch-resistant design for an elegant audio solution to your home theatre system.

Strong, flexible, magnetic grilles provide protection and a sleek aesthetic to compliment your home's decor.
