## Description

The R-40PM powered speakers connect via Bluetooth® for music streaming, phono (with ground screw terminal) for turntables, plus digital and analog for everything in between. And because Klipsch engineers built in a customized amplifier, you get perfectly tuned sound experiences – no audio/video receiver (AVR) required.

Review: Remarkable center speaker - This is the best central speaker I needed, as I was upgrading my home theater system I bought an AVR Dennon 5.2 from my old and reliable AVR Sony 5.1 from over 15 years ago,I have two new tower speakers and also I bought 2 subwoofers klipsch, but I had a central speaker that worked fine with my previous system but with these new subwoofers in order to hear the voices the bass overwhelmed the center speaker so in order to fix this I bought this klipsch central speaker and everything changed immediately now I do have an excellent home theater system balanced and with awesome bass and clear voices I only miss a little treble for the higher frequencies because the tweeter lacks of the higher frequencies
Review: Solid Center Channel for Home Theater - I purchased this center channel for an all-Klipsch 3.1 system. My space is limited, but this unit was a nice compromise between size and performance. Excellent Klipsch sound. Clear, crisp center channel where the dialog is. I no longer have to turn the volume up to understand the dialog. As any good speaker, this bad boy is heavy. I was a bit concerned that the rather flimsy shelf on my stand would not support it, but it’s been fine for over a year. Solid purchase.

## Features

- ALL NEW 90° x 90° TRACTRIX HORN: Experience the cleanest, most natural sound possible. The increased outer horn dimensions allow for directivity control over a larger bandwidth of frequencies, resulting in improved high frequency directivity and a more accurate sound stage.
- LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) ALUMINUM TWEETER WITH KAPTON SUSPENSION: The 1” LTS tweeter minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Aluminum is an extremely light and rigid material used in the tweeter assembly to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail.
- SPUN-COPPER THERMOFORMED CRYSTALLINE POLYMER WOOFERS: Utilizing trickle-down technology from Klipsch’s highly acclaimed Reference Premiere series, the 5.25” TCP woofers have steeper angling of the cones for a smoother response and improved accuracy and transparency.
- HEAR EVERY WORD: Tapered array crossovers improve dispersion, resulting in better midrange definition to catch every bit of dialogue.
- SLEEK, MODERN APPEARANCE: Hidden fasteners, edge-to-edge horn, and low-profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance.
- MDF CABINET WITH SCRATCH-RESISTANT, TEXTURED WOOD GRAIN VINYL: Stylish aesthetic with best-in-class durability that results in seamless integration into any décor.
- HIGH QUALITY CABINET DESIGN: Reinforced ¾” MDF construction with an all-new bracing design reduces cabinet vibration for improved sonic accuracy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sound - Amazing value - Clear dialogue that can always be heard
*by J***O on July 10, 2025*

I had Boston Acoustics and M&K Center Channels previously that were a 7 out of 10, but had issue with clarity of voices or lower voice level at times . This Klipsch R50C center channel has a amazing sound and highly recommend. I am in a 18' X 18' room and its easy to hear voices and a lot more sound information is coming from center channel. Highly recommend R50C because it's at a reasonable price and outstanding performance. Rate a 10 out of 10)
