Klipsch RP-500SA II Dolby Atmos® Elevation / Surround Speaker
Overview
Adding real overhead Dolby Atmos effects usually means cutting into a finished ceiling, which isn't always possible or worth the disruption. The Klipsch RP-500SA II delivers that height effect without any construction.
The RP-500SA II is a Dolby Atmos elevation and surround speaker that can sit on top of a compatible floorstanding or bookshelf speaker to bounce sound off the ceiling, or wall-mount via keyhole slots as a height or side surround channel. A 1" titanium LTS vented tweeter pairs with a larger 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn for crisp highs, and a 5.25" Cerametallic woofer handles midrange with low distortion.
A switchable crossover on the rear panel optimizes the speaker's electronics for either Atmos (up-firing) or Surround (direct-firing) use, so the same speaker adapts to how it's mounted. Additional cabinet bracing minimizes resonance, and the input panel uses audiophile-grade wiring with aluminum binding posts.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
For Central Ontario clients who can't or don't want to cut into a finished ceiling, the RP-500SA II's switchable crossover is what makes it genuinely dual-purpose — set it to Atmos mode on top of a tower for height effects today, or move it to a wall as a surround channel later, without buying a different speaker.

Titanium LTS Vented Tweeter
Minimizes distortion and standing waves for detailed, clear highs.
Switchable Atmos/Surround Crossover
Optimizes the electronics for either up-firing Atmos or direct-firing Surround use.
Larger Hybrid Tractrix Horn
Improves high-frequency transfer for a convincing sense of height.
Flexible Wall or Tower-Top Mounting
Keyhole wall mounting or direct top-mounting on compatible floorstanding speakers.
Reinforced, Low-Resonance Cabinet
Additional bracing minimizes resonance and vibration.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The No-Drill Enthusiast: wants Atmos height channels without in-ceiling installation.
- The Reference Premiere System Owner: wants an aesthetic and tonal match for RP-series towers and bookshelves.
- The Versatile Room Builder: needs a speaker that can serve as a height channel today and a surround channel tomorrow.
How It Compares
The RP-500SA II shares its driver technology with the RP-500M II and RP-500C II, but trades the ported cabinet for a sealed enclosure and an Atmos-specific switchable crossover built for this exact use case. For buyers building a more accessible Reference-series system, the Klipsch R-40SA offers similar dual-purpose functionality at a lower price point.
