Overview

The Klipsch RP-504C II is a centre channel speaker from the Reference Premiere series, pairing four 5.25-inch Cerametallic woofers with a 1-inch titanium tweeter on Klipsch's Tractrix horn. It's the largest RP II centre, with the deepest bass, highest sensitivity and most power handling of the three, so dialogue keeps pace with big towers in a large room. It's built for home theatres anchored by RP-6000F II or RP-8000F II towers.

The 1-inch Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) titanium tweeter sits in a 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn, which focuses high frequencies toward the listening area for clear dialogue, and its vented housing reduces standing waves behind the diaphragm. The four Cerametallic woofers are rigid and light, with Faraday rings to reduce distortion. Klipsch rates the RP-504C II at 50 Hz to 25 kHz (±3 dB) with 96 dB sensitivity and 150 W continuous (600 W peak) power handling.

A rear-firing Tractrix port supports the bass, and the internally braced MDF cabinet has a satin-painted baffle with a scratch-resistant finish. The input panel uses audiophile-grade wire and aluminum binding posts, cork pads keep it secure on a console or table, an angle screw is included, and a magnetic grille lets you show or hide the horn.

The RP-504C II is 32 inches wide and just over 15 inches deep, so measure your console before ordering; it needs a deep shelf, and the rear port should have some breathing room rather than being pushed into an enclosed cabinet. Aim the tweeter toward seated ear height. With 96 dB sensitivity it matches the RP-6000F II and comes close to the RP-8000F II, so voices stay level with the towers as the volume rises.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

• Large Home Theatres: Want a centre that keeps pace with big towers.
• RP-6000F II and RP-8000F II Owners: Want a matched front stage.
• Deep Media Consoles: Have room for a 15"-deep centre.

How It Compares

The RP-500C II uses two 5.25" woofers, rated at 56 Hz to 25 kHz with 94 dB sensitivity and 100 W continuous power handling, in a 19.34"-wide, 10.58"-deep cabinet. The RP-504C II doubles the woofers to four, reaching 50 Hz at 96 dB sensitivity with 150 W continuous power handling, in a 32.06"-wide, 15.08"-deep cabinet. Choose the RP-504C II for large rooms and big towers, the RP-500C II for most consoles, and the sealed RP-404C II for shallow mantles or in-wall use.
