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.
Center Channels
The RC-35, RC-25 and extremely compact
RC-10 Reference Series center channel speakers
employ Klipsch technology to solve these
problems and establish a perfect sonic match with
the other speakers in the line. The result is a
seamless, engaging soundstage that puts you inside
the action. This critical family resemblance naturally
starts with the video shielded drivers, which are
the same brilliant titanium-dome Tractrix Horn
tweeters and rugged, next-generation Cerametallic
cone woofers used throughout the series.
Equally important, however, are the precision,
Tapered Array crossover networks, carefully
tailored to the placement requirements and driver
configurations of these special-purpose loudspeak-
ers. Klipsch’s exclusive Tapered Array technology
operates both woofers at the lowest frequencies
— maintaining the high output capability necessary
for good center channel performance — but only
one operates all the way through the midrange to
where the tweeter takes over. This eliminates
acoustic interference between the woofer outputs,
a flaw in conventional center speaker designs that
can severely impair sound quality at the sides of
the listening area. No matter where you sit, you’ll
hear every word, every detail.
Like the floorstanding and bookshelf models, the
RC-35, RC-25 and RC-10 have sculpted baffles
with molded-in horns for low diffraction and high
reliability. Front porting maximizes performance
when the speaker must be located in a confined
space, and an up/down tilt feature enables you to
aim the speaker toward the listening area from
above or below a TV screen. The grilles have
magnetic posts for secure attachment, easy
removal, and a clean, elegant look. All of these
speakers are bi-wireable and utilize premium
internal wiring for superior signal transfer.
