A Legend in Sound, A Tradition of Progress Klipsch’s 56-year history is a chronicle of audio innovation, beginning with the company’s foundation product, the revolutionary Klipschorn®. This astounding loudspeaker enabled people, for the first time ever, to experience at home the power, detail and emotion of a live performance. It is also a legacy — a legacy that has guided Klipsch speaker engineering throughout the years.
Cabinets and other components also receive special attention. Rigid, low-resonance walls and internal cross-bracing minimize panel vibrations that could color the sound. For signal purity and perfect driver integration, crossovers are made with premium components and feature top-of-the-line internal wiring. Outside, graceful proportions, and beautiful wood and vinyl veneers give Reference Series speakers a fine-furniture look that complements any decor.
REFERENCE FLAGSHIP
The Ultimate in Power and Performance The best of the best, our classic, flagship Reference Series models represent the pinnacle of high-performance loudspeakers. At the heart of these speakers is the same compression driver technology used in Klipsch professional cinema speakers. This extraordinary tweeter design delivers clarity, efficiency, power handling, freedom from distortion, and reliability that sets new standards for home speaker systems.
REFERENCE TOWERS Exquisite Engineering and Graceful Proportions Four models enhance and extend the Reference Series floorstanding lineup, bringing higher performance, greater value, and a more sophisticated look. Stepping in for the RF-3 II, the best-selling floorstanding speaker in the United States for over four years, is the RF-35, which boasts technology refinements that pull its sound even closer to that of the flagship models.
REFERENCE MONITORS A Towering Achievement in Bookshelf Design Designed to go where floorstanders can’t, our Reference Series bookshelf loudspeakers are built to the same exacting standards. Square Tractrix Horns coupled to titanium-dome tweeters ensure high efficiency, full coverage of the listening area, and freedom from detail-blurring room reflections. The horns are molded into the speakers’ front baffles to improve sonic integration and minimize diffraction.
The bookshelf models rely on only the best internal wiring to produce ideal signal transmission throughout the audio range, and video shielding to allow placement near a TV set. The RB-35 and RB-25 are front ported for maximum installation flexibility. All four models have back-panel keyholes for flush wall-mounting and the RB-10, RB-15 and RB-25 feature threaded inserts for attachment to wall or ceiling brackets. Their low-diffraction grilles have magnetic posts for secure attachment and easy removal.
Perfectly Matched for Unmatched Theater Performance Perhaps the most important loudspeaker in a home theater system is the center channel — because as much as 80 percent of the information in a surround soundtrack may come from there! Good performance elsewhere can’t cover for mediocrity in the middle, and the design requirements for a center speaker are typically among the most challenging. It is hard to make a modestly sized, horizontally oriented loudspeaker that performs exceptionally.
WDST™ Surrounds Using the same titanium-dome, Tractrix Horn tweeters and Cerametallic cone woofers as other Reference Series designs, sonically matched Klipsch WDST loudspeakers are perfect surround-sound complements. Exclusive Klipsch Wide Dispersion Surround Technology makes them equally (and uniquely) adept at establishing enveloping ambient sound fields and localizing specific surround effects.
Reaching Deeper, Hitting Harder RSW Subwoofers Since their introduction, Klipsch RSW powered subwoofers have set the performance standard. Even the smallest model in the line, the 10-inch RSW-10, can pump out truly extreme bass — very deep and very loud. Yet also clean and articulate, and from a box of reasonable proportions. The capabilities of the big 15-inch RSW-15 are hard to express in mere words; the intensity is staggering. All Reference subwoofers feature a convenient side-mounted volume control.
RW Subwoofers Approaching RSW performance at lower prices and with smaller cabinets, the new Reference Series RW subwoofers retain critical performance features, such as Cerametallic cone drivers, high-power amplifiers, and solidly constructed enclosures. But instead of passive radiators, they incorporate Klipsch’s exclusive Corner Port™ technology.
REFERENCE SATELLITES Space-Saving Speakers, Room-Filling Sound Compact, stylish and versatile, the Klipsch Reference Satellites fit almost anywhere, in any type of system, in any type of environment. The RSX-3, RSX-4 and RSX-5 satellites and the RCX-3 and RCX-4 center channels are all video shielded speakers that use titanium-dome tweeters with round MicroTractrix™ Horns for maximum clarity and efficiency. The two-way RSX-3, RSX-4 and RSX-5 employ 3.5-, 4- and 5.25-inch woofers respectively.
The most powerful Reference satellite system is the Cinema 10, Featuring four RSX-3 satellites, an RCX-3 center featuring four RSX-5 satellites, the RCX-4 center channel, and the channel and an RW-8 powered subwoofer, the extremely RW-10 subwoofer, shown here in optional silver. compact Cinema 6 system delivers big time sound. The Cinema 8 features four RSX-4 satellites, an RCX-4 center channel and an RW-8 powered subwoofer.
REFERENCE RVX SYSTEM Finally got that flat screen you've always wanted? Then meet your new speakers–the Reference Series RVX System. New clean lines and contemporary design on the outside, with the old school heart of Klipsch beating loud and clear inside. The RVX-42 perfectly complements the height of 42-inch and larger flat screens. Or use one as a center channel with two RVX-54 floorstanders, plus two RSX-4s as rear surrounds for unbeatable 5.1 sound and style.
The RVX-42 is as versatile as it is beautiful. You can mount it on a wall, or use its included stand, and with a choice of black or silver, it blends easily with any decor.
