Klipsch RP-404C II Center Channel Speaker
Overview
A shallow media console or a fireplace mantle usually rules out a serious centre channel speaker, since most designs need several inches of rear clearance to sound right. The Klipsch RP-404C II solves that without giving up Reference Premiere performance.
The RP-404C II pairs a 1" titanium Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) tweeter with a larger 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn for crisp, detailed highs, and four 4" Cerametallic woofers for a rich, authoritative midrange. Unlike most centre channels, it uses a sealed enclosure rather than a ported one, so it can sit flush against a wall or inside a shallow cabinet without the bass-loading distortion a ported design would suffer in that spot.
At just 6.47" deep, it fits where deeper centre channels can't, and cork pads replace rubber bumpers for secure, vibration-damped placement on a mantle or shelf. Additional internal bracing minimizes cabinet resonance, and aluminum binding posts round out the input panel.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
For Central Ontario clients mounting a TV above a fireplace or working with a shallow media console, the RP-404C II's sealed cabinet is the detail that actually solves the problem — most centre channels need breathing room behind them to avoid a boomy, muddy sound, but this one is tuned for tight placement from the start.

Why the Klipsch RP-404C II Stands Out
Shallow Sealed Cabinet Design
At just 6.47" deep, it fits flush against walls or inside shallow cabinets without bass-loading distortion.
Four Cerametallic Woofers
Four 4" woofers deliver a rich, authoritative midrange for clear dialogue.
Titanium LTS Vented Tweeter
Minimizes distortion and standing waves for detailed, clear highs.
Larger Hybrid Tractrix Horn
A 90° x 90° silicone composite horn improves high-frequency transfer into the room.
Cork Pads for Secure Placement
Replace rubber bumpers for secure, vibration-damped placement on a mantle or shelf.
Reinforced, Low-Resonance Cabinet
Additional internal bracing keeps vocals clear even at higher volumes.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Mantle & Console User: needs a high-performance speaker for a shallow shelf or fireplace mantle installation.
- The In-Wall Candidate: wants a centre channel that fits into custom millwork or shallow wall cavities.
- The Reference Premiere System Owner: wants a tonal match for RP-series towers or bookshelves without the depth of a standard centre channel.
How It Compares
The RP-404C II is Klipsch's shallow-depth solution within the Reference Premiere centre channel lineup. If you have the room for a deeper cabinet and want more low-end punch and a larger soundstage, the RP-504C II or RP-500C MKII are the natural step-up options within the same series.
