Dual 5.25" Center Channel Loudspeaker
Because the center channel speaker reproduces
more than 60 percent of a movie soundtrack,
Klipsch spared no expense when developing the
Reference Series RC -52. With its ideal
combination of technology, performance and
design, this speaker delivers a seamless, engaging
soundstage that puts listeners inside the action.

Horns have always been the
key component of this critically acclaimed series.
In the RC-52, this technology has been refined to
include improved throat geometry for a more
genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the horn lies a
1-inch titanium tweeter with a powerful
neodymium magnet motor structure to provide a
unique combination of precision, clarity and
effortless dynamics.
The RC-52 employs dual 5.25-inch woofers for a
solid bass foundation. These Cerametallic™
woofers with inverted copper dust caps exhibit a
very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb
damping characteristics.
Klipsch Tapered Array™ technology operates both
woofers at the lowest frequencies – maintaining
the high output capability necessary for good
center channel performance – but only one
operates all the way through the midrange to
where the tweeter takes over. This eliminates
acoustic interference between the woofer
outputs, a flaw in conventional speaker designs
that can severely impair sound quality at the sides
of the listening area.
The RC-52’s rigid cabinet offers improved internal
cross-bracing to minimize panel vibrations that can
color sound. Twin front-firing ports eliminate
turbulence noise, while increased baffle ribbing
around the horn mouth dramatically improves
acoustics across the sonic range. For signal purity
and perfect driver integration, the crossover on
the RC-52 features the finest components and
Klipsch custom internal wiring.
Available in a black woodgrain vinyl finish, the
fully video-shielded RC-52 comes with a low-
diffraction, magnetically attached grille to further
accentuate the elegance of this speaker.
