Dual 5.25'' Two-Way Center Channel
RC-25
The RC-25 is a high-value, high-performance
center channel designed primarily for use with
other Reference Series loudspeakers, which
it matches both cosmetically and sonically. Its
exceptional clarity and neutrality make it a
superior choice for any home theater system.
The speaker’s horizontally oriented cabinet
fits easily on top of most direct-view and
rear-projection television sets. And front
porting allows it to be installed in a cabinet or
flush against a wall without loss of sound
quality. An adjustable foot enables the RC-25
to tilt up or down for aiming into the listening
area. Because of its high power-handling
capability and unusually high sensitivity, the
RC-25 can sustain significantly higher output
than most conventional center speakers — an
important consideration, since the center
channel typically carries about 60% of the
total energy in a surround movie soundtrack.
Yet the RC-25 requires only about half as
much amplifier power as most competitors.
High frequencies are reproduced by a 1-inch
titanium dome compression driver tweeter. A
5-inch square 90° x 60° Tractrix
into the front of the enclosure raises the
driver’s efficiency and controls its radiation
pattern to minimize detail-blurring reflections
from walls, floor, and ceiling. Flanking the
tweeter are twin 5.25-inch polymer frame,
Cerametallic™cone woofers configured in a
Tapered Array. Klipsch Tapered Array™
Technology operates both woofers at the
lowest frequencies but only one all the way up
to the point where the tweeter takes over,
eliminating the destructive middle-frequency
interference between woofer outputs
characteristic of ordinary woofer-tweeterwoofer lineups. All drivers are magnetically
shielded to prevent interference with directview television sets. Premium crossover
components ensure optimum signal transfer.
