There are therefore three center speakers in the Reference Premiere 2022 series, namely the Klipsch RP-504C II references (see third photo below), Klipsch RP-404C II (see second photo below) and Klipsch and RP-500C II (see photo below).
Klipsch Reference Premiere Klipsch RP-500C II, Klipsch RP-404C II and Klipsch RP-504C II
Technically, the Klipsch Reference Premiere 2022 speakers incorporate all of the brand's audio DNA, starting with a 90° x 90° Tractrix horn with wide distribution and in edge-to-edge configuration (the horn occupies the entire width speaker) for sound dispersion but also maximum precision and clarity.
This horn is combined with a vented titanium LTS (Linear Travel Suspension) tweeter for minimum distortion. Similarly, the new woofers benefit from the Klipsch Cerametallic process (thin sprayed copper layer) and a new voice coil with a 70% larger diameter offering increased control of the cones for perfect linearity. There are two woofers on the RP-500C II, and four on the RP-404C II and RP-504C II.
In the end, the mobile assembly further improves the reproduction of the base frequencies. We can also mention the presence of aluminum rings, always with a view to reducing distortion as much as possible.
Last details, the Klipsch Reference Premiere 2022 speakers feature magnetic grilles, a scratch-resistant wood-effect vinyl finish and metal-colored screws, and Klipsch's trademark copper-colored cones.
