Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-404C Center Channel Speaker

Features

1" Horn-Loaded Tweeter:

The Klipsch RP-404C center-channel loudspeaker features a 1" Titanium LTS Vented Tweeter with a Hybrid Tractrix Horn for exceptional high frequency response, detail, and dispersion.
Klipsch proprietary Tractrix horn-loaded technology ensures high-frequency energy of the RP-404C center-channel speakers are aimed directly at the listener and reduces unwanted, artificial reverb caused by indirect sound bouncing off walls - meaning you experience the most clear, detailed, lifelike sound possible.

Titanium LTS Vented Tweeter:

The titanium tweeter diaphragm's light weight yet rigid composition exceeds the performance of aluminum, polymer or silk tweeters.
A vented tweeter design reduces standing waves behind the tweeter diaphragm for a smoother high frequency reproduction.
Klipsch 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,

Hybrid Tractrix Horn Technology:

This redesigned 90°x90° Hybrid Tractrix Horn utilizes a circular horn throat paired to a square horn mouth to further improve high-frequency response and extension, while enhancing imaging and dynamics.
The Hybrid Tractrix Horn's compressed molded silicon face adds high frequency damping to reduce harshness and horn resonance for a smoother frequency response with improved detail - creating a clean and natural sound.
Klipsch also utilizes computer modeled phase plugs that act as a mechanical filter to further ensure a smooth, flat frequency response while protecting the tweeter from damage.

Quad 4" Cerametallic Woofers:

The RP-404C center-channel loudspeaker utilizes four 4" Klipsch Proprietary Cerametallic woofers.
Cerametallic consists of extremely light, rigid materials that can hold shape while being able to deliver lower frequencies with maximum efficiency.
The Klipsch Cerametallic cone is matted to a dual-layer, copper-wound voice coil for exceptional conductivity.
The 4" woofers are housed in a non-resonating, stamped-steel basket that's secured to a large magnet motor for exceptional efficiency and low distortion.

Rear Tractrix Port:

The rear Tractrix port of the RP-404C center-channel loudspeaker is perfectly matched to the cabinet and woofer, creating ideal airflow with minimal distortion and turbulence even at the lowest frequencies.
Klipsch Tractrix ports have custom designed inner flares that help reduce air turbulence entering the port.
Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass.

MDF Cabinet:

The Klipsch RP-404C center-channel speaker features a MDF cabinet with a scratch-resistant, textured wood grain vinyl that seamlessly integrates into almost any room or decor.
The enclosure's reinforced MDF construction reduces cabinet vibration for less audible coloration and improved sonic accuracy.
The MDF enclosure also features a satin painted baffle with a scratch resistant design for an elegant look without the grille.

Acoustically Transparent Grille:

The Klipsch RP-404C center-channel loudspeaker comes with a removable, black cloth grille that is magnetic and acoustically transparent.
This strong magnetic grille provides protection and a sleek aesthetic look to compliment your home's decor.

Binding Posts:

The Klipsch Reference Premiere series center-channel speaker is fitted with sturdy binding posts to ensure a secure connection to many types of cable and connectors.
The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (single only), pin-connectors, spade-lugs and bare wire (up to 10AWG).
Two plastic caps will need to be removed to use banana plugs.

Placement & Mounting Options:

The center channel speaker is designed to place dialog and primary sounds so that they appear to come from the TV or projector screen.
The speaker should therefore be centered and placed as close to the screen as possible, preferably directly on top of or below the screen.
The center channel speaker comes with four self-adhesive rubber feet to secure the speaker in place and prevent any damage to your stand's or shelf's surface.
The rubber feet add approximately 0.125" to the height of each speaker.

Note:

There is no included bracket, keyhole slot, or threaded insert to wall-mount the speaker.
