The Klipsch Sound Experience
The Klipsch Reference Series RB-81 has captured all the thrills and intensity of a floorstanding loudspeaker in a new, attractive bookshelf model. The RB-81 may be compact, but it packs a dynamite sound -- full of power, detail, and emotion. This bookshelf model is one of the highest performing and most affordable loudspeakers Klipsch has ever introduced.
What's Inside
The new, compact RB-81 bookshelf loudspeaker can fill a room with brilliant, soulful sound because it incorporates Klipsch's flagship technology, and it does it at an affordable price that everyone can appreciate. At the heart of these speakers is the same compression driver technology used in Klipsch professional cinema speakers. Their extraordinary design, featuring a Tractrix Horn and Cerametallic Cones, delivers clarity, efficiency, power handling, freedom from distortion, and reliability that sets new standards for home speaker systems. High-quality internal wiring is used to ensure superior connection from the voice coils all the way to the electronics. The RB-81 is a loudspeaker that truly lets you hear through to the original performance, to experience every detail and feel all the emotion.
Tractrix What?
Molded into a sculpted, low-diffraction baffle, the RB-81's 6 inch Tractrix Horn tweeter delivers effortlessly detailed midrange and treble. The Tractrix Horn's carefully calculated flare dramatically increases driver efficiency, allowing production of very high sound levels with minimal amplifier power and no strain or distortion. It also controls the sound's directivity (90 degrees horizontal x 60 degrees vertical dispersion), ensuring excellent coverage of the listening area while minimizing detail-obscuring reflections off of walls, floor, and ceiling. Fed by a smooth, accurate titanium-dome tweeter, the Tractrix Horn is the key to the vibrantly realistic, emotionally compelling Klipsch Sound Experience.
Bass To Brag About
So much more than just a pretty face, the RB-81's rugged Cerametallic Cone woofer with its massive, video-shielded magnet generates deep, powerful bass. Its distinctive anodized-aluminum -- and oh-so-pretty --copper-colored cone exhibits a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics that translate to outstanding responsiveness and near-total absence of resonance and breakup. The result is quick, clean, articulate low-frequency reproduction. A rigid cast frame -- far superior to conventional stamped-steel baskets -- maintains perfect alignment of the large, high-temperature voice coil. Beauty and beast, all in one speaker, yes!
Better Heard And Seen
These bookshelf speakers are finished in luxurious hardwood veneers and constructed, like all Reference Series models, to the highest standard throughout. From the drivers to the cabinets to the crossovers, cabling, and electronics, everything is built to deliver maximum performance for many years to come. Capable of filling any room with rich, full-range sound, the elegant, wood-veneered RB-81 is a tasteful complement to other furniture. It stands out in performance and blends in to your decor.
Simple Set Up
Installing the RB-81 is a breeze. It has a front-mounted, flared port to facilitate placement in a cabinet or against a wall. The RB-81 also has a back-panel keyhole for flush mounting to a wall and a threaded insert for attachment to popular adjustable wall and ceiling brackets. You won't have to worry; you won't even have to read the instructions.
