Klipsch RP-600C Reference Premiere Center Channel Speaker
When building a home theater system, you want to put your best technology into the center channel speaker. While all the other speakers pipe in the music and the effects, the center channel carries the story. And no centers clarify the conversation better than those in Klipsch’s updated, high-value Reference Premiere line. The RP-600C leverages Klipsch’s 70-year experience with acoustic engineering, and the company’s innovations such as the Tractrix 90-by-90 horn and two big Cerametallic woofers, for a center channel that pairs absolute clarity with rock-solid imaging and punch. You hear every whisper, every shout and every lyric.

The trademark Tractrix horn
A core design element in Klipsch speakers, then and now, is the horn. Flared 90 degrees vertically and horizontally, the unique Tractrix horn acts as natural amplification for the high-frequency driver (a second Tractrix horn fires out of a rear bass port). The horn not only makes speakers such as the RP-600C ultra efficient, but also steers the highs for precise localization of instruments and dialogue – especially important in the center channel. The Tractrix horn, molded of compressed silicon composite and fitted with a phase plug to reduce resonances, places listeners in the middle of the action or at center stage.
A tweaked tweeter
At the center of that Tractrix horn is Klipsch’s latest tweeter design, a 1-inch titanium-diaphragm driver for lightness and rigidity, with high efficiency and low distortion. The proven LTS (linear travel suspension) technology maximizes piston motion, and an all-new vented housing reduces the reflected waves that can compromise performance.
Those iconic copper cones
Even before you power it up, you can always spot a Klipsch thanks to the emblematic copper-colored cones. Two big 6.5-inch woofers in the RP-504C are formed of Klipsch’s proprietary spun-copper Cerametallic material, which adds stiffness while subtracting weight for superior transient reproduction and high efficiency. And the rear-firing Tractrix horn port strengthens the bass further still, for full-range center channel reproduction.
A truly dynamic range
Klipsch’s horn-loading design, combined with ultra-light and ultra-responsive drivers with custom coils and magnets, means that speakers such as the RP-600C can reproduce the wide dynamic range of today’s movie soundtracks – and can rock out the house when called for. Efficiency, paired with power-handling capability, means Klipsch speakers pair perfectly with the vast majority of today’s home-theater receivers and amps.
Designed to be displayed
The cabinetry is made of solid MDF material reinforced for minimal internal resonances, with your choice of ebony or walnut scratch-resistant finish. Combined with the unique look of copper cones and trim rings, laser-etched logo and flared horn, the RP-600C looks at home proudly displayed right under your flat screen, with or without the attractive and flexible magnetic grille attached.
