Dual 4'' Two-Way Center Channel
Part of the new Reference 10 family, the RC-
10 center channel adds a new value point to
Klipsch’s best-selling Reference Series line by
offering the same advanced technology and
world-class materials as the Reference III
center channels but from a smaller enclosure
and at a lower price point.
The RC-10 employs dual 4-inch woofers and a
1-inch titanium-dome compression driver
loaded with a 4-inch square Tractrix®Horn for
maximum clarity and efficiency.
This center channel also utilizes Klipsch’s
Tapered-Array™ Technology, a 2.5-way design
that minimizes the acoustical interference
between drivers that plagues most horizontal
center-channel speakers. This technology
allows both woofers to create intense bass,
while only one works with the tweeter to
produce 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 mask sounds.
The woofers on the RC-10 still feature
Klipsch’s distinctive, copper-colored
Cerametallic™ material. Made with an
anodized aluminum, these cones are strong
with low mass. The anodizing process
converts their inner and outer surfaces to
ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone with
superb damping characteristics that will not
flex or resonate at frequencies within the
woofer’s operating range.
As in all Reference Series speakers, the RC-
10 crossover network is constructed using
extremely high-quality components including
top-of-the-line internal wiring, polyester film-
type capacitors and an air-core inductor to
ensure signal purity and proper driver
integration.
Available in a black ash vinyl finish, the RC-10
features a low-diffraction sculpted baffle and a
magnetically attached grille for an elegant fit
and finish. www.klipsch.com
