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 RC-64 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. Its extraordinary design, featuring a Tractrix Horn and four 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 RC-64 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 RC-64's 6 inch Tractrix Horn tweeter delivers effortlessly detailed midrange and treble. The Tractrix Horn's newly-improved throat geometry and carefully calculated flare dramatically increase 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 1.25" titanium-diaphragm 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 RC-64's rugged, quad Cerametallic Cone woofers with massive, video-shielded magnets generate deep, powerful bass. Its four 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 eliminates the acoustical interference between drivers that plagues most horizontal center-channel speakers. This technology allows all four woofers to create intense bass, while only two work 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 RC-64 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 finished in a luxurious hardwood veneer 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 RC-64 is a tasteful complement to other furniture. It stands out in performance and blends in to your decor.
Simple Set Up
Installing the RC-64 is a breeze. The RC-64 employs a sealed enclosure design for 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.
