What's inside

Perhaps the most important loudspeaker in a home theater system is the center channel — because as much as 80 percent of the information in a surround soundtrack may come from there! The Reference Series RC10 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 RC10 is a speaker 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 RC10's 4" 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, 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 RC10's rugged, dual Cerametallic Cone woofers with massive, video-shielded magnets generate deep, powerful bass. Its distinctive anodized-aluminum — and oh-so-pretty — copper-colored cones exhibit 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. Rigid cast frames — far superior to conventional stamped-steel baskets — maintain perfect alignment of the large, high-temperature voice coils. Beauty and beast, all in one speaker, yes!

Tapered-array = better sound quality

Klipsch's Tapered-Array™ crossover network technology, a 2.5-way design, eliminates the acoustical interference between drivers that plagues most horizontal center-channel speakers. This technology allows both woofers to create intense bass, while only one works with the tweeter to acoustically blend the midrange. The result is a smooth, clear sound not just directly in front of the speaker, but off to the sides as well, where conventional center speakers often exaggerate or eliminate sounds. The RC10 allows listeners to hear everything from the faintest whisper to the loudest roar with complete clarity.

Better heard and seen

This center channel speaker is 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 RC10 is a tasteful complement to other furniture. It stands out in performance and blends in to your decor.

Simple set up

Installing the RC10 is a breeze. The RC10 has dual front ports for improved bass response and ease of cabinet installation. It also incorporates an up and down tilt feature to accommodate a variety of placement options. It's so easy you won't have to worry; you won't even have to read the instructions.
