Elevate your home stereo setup or expand your home cinema system with these Klipsch RP-500M II Bookshelf Speaker Pair Ebonyfrom Klipsch RP-500M II Bookshelf Speaker Pair Ebonyin an attractive ebony finish. This pair of second-generation speakers is made to fill your space with a larger soundstage thanks to increased power handling and a more accurate directivity of sound. This is achieved via the larger Tractrix horn of the 1" titanium LTS vented tweeter, and the 70% larger voice coil in the 5.25" Cerametallic cone woofer.

Two-Way Speaker Design    1 x 1" Titanium LTS Vented Tweeter    1 x 5.25" Cerametallic Cone Woofer    Up to 75W Continuous Power Handling    90 x 90° Hybrid Tractrix Horn    8-Ohm Impedance    50 Hz to 25 kHz Frequency Response    Clean & Deep Bass with Tractrix Ports    Durable MDF Construction    Magnetic Speaker Grille

Klipsch's proprietary Tractrix geometry in the horn is specifically crafted to efficiently transfer the high frequencies of the tweeter to the listener. This second generation Tractrix horn is larger for better directivity and a wider overall soundstage. The Tractrix horn can accomplish this level of audio fidelity and smooth frequency response by being combined with a phase plug and a compressed molded silicon face.

Part of Klipsch's Reference line, the LTS (Linear Travel Suspension) works to minimize distortion for more detailed audio reproduction.

The housing of the tweeter in this pair of bookshelf speakers clarifies the high-frequency signal by reducing standing waves that would otherwise create unwanted harmonics.

Another signature aspect of Klipsch's Reference Premiere speakers are the Cerametallic woofers. This bookshelf speaker is equipped with a single 5.25" woofer, and the Cerametallic construction keeps it lightweight, yet rigid, to both maximize acoustic efficiency and minimize distortion. In the second generation, voice coils are 70% larger in diameter to ensure flawless reproduction with better power handling, cone control, and linearity. The addition of aluminum shorting rings adds to the improved power handling and lower distortion, while the motor structure itself improves the transit response and adds more control with increased speed and improved accuracy.

If you prefer a deeper bass from your speakers, the integrated ports of the RP-500M II utilize Klipsch's Tractrix geometry to produce clean and punchy low-end frequencies. The geometry allows the air to quickly and efficiently exit the speaker, which also reduces port noise. Customized inner flares further lowers noise by reducing air turbulence entering the port.

The RP-500M II features audiophile-grade wiring and easily accessible aluminum binding posts for any connection type.

Klipsch uses internally braced furniture-grade MDF for a durable and attractive appearance. The ebony vinyl finish includes satin-painted baffles that have a scratch-resistant coating.

You have the option of exposing the copper-colored woofer and tweeter or covering them up with a discrete speaker grille. The grille magnetically attaches to the front of the RP-500M II.

Replacing typical rubber bumpers are cork pads, which work to protect the surfaces of a stand or table.
