levate your home stereo setup or expand your home cinema system with these Reference Premiere RP-600M II Two-Way Bookshelf Speakers from Klipsch in an attractive ebony finish. This pair of second-generation speakers are 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 6.5" Cerametallic cone woofer. When compared to lower bookshelf models in the series, the RP-600M II also allow for bi-wiring and bi-amping, letting you add more power and enjoy clearer sound via minimized distortion.
90 x 90° Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix Horn
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.
LTS Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter
Part of Klipsch's Reference line, the LTS (Linear Travel Suspension) works to minimize distortion for more detailed audio reproduction.
Vented Tweeter Design
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.
Cerametallic Woofer
Another signature aspect of Klipsch's Reference Premiere speakers are the Cerametallic woofers. This bookshelf speaker is equipped with a single 6.5" woofer, and the Cerametallic construction keeps it lightweight, yet rigid, to both maximize acoustic efficiency and minimize distortion. The second-generation, voice coil is 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 adds more control with increased speed and improved accuracy.
Tractrix Ports
If you prefer a deeper bass from your speakers, the integrated ports of the RP-600M 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.
Bi-Wiring and Bi-Amping
Dual input terminals on the back of each speaker allow you to bi-wire and bi-amp with additional (optional) cabling. Bi-wiring allows you to separate the high and low frequencies to each cable. By separating them, interference and distortion are minimized, delivering a clearer sound that has more accuracy in your listening environment. The bi-amping can generate more power for your speakers by using outboard crossovers with (optional) separate amplifiers.
Improved Input Panel
The RP-600M II features audiophile-grade wiring and easily accessible aluminum binding posts for any connection type.
Premium Construction
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.
Magnetic Grille
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-600M II.
Cork Pads
Replacing typical rubber bumpers are cork pads, which work to protect the surfaces of a stand or table.
