Our take on the Klipsch RP-404C II Reference Premiere Center Channel Speaker

The RP-404C II is Klipsch's second-generation Reference Premiere center channel, built around a 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter in a 90° x 90° silicon composite hybrid Tractrix horn, flanked by four 4-inch spun-copper Cerametallic woofers. The larger horn versus the first generation widens the soundstage and sharpens dialogue directivity, which is what a center channel is for. It is a big, heavy cabinet, so it wants a wide shelf or a stand under the TV rather than a cramped media unit. Against slim soundbars and small centers it trades footprint for dynamics and output; against pricier three-way centers it gives up some midrange separation. Owners rate it highly, and the walnut finish matches the rest of the Reference Premiere II line.

About the Klipsch RP-404C II Reference Premiere Center Channel Speaker

The Klipsch RP-404C II is a center channel speaker from the Reference Premiere line. It has a 90° x 90° Hybrid Tractrix horn made from a silicon composite. Horn loading focuses high frequencies on the listening area and increases efficiency and detail.

The Tractrix horn geometry transfers high-frequency waves into the listening area efficiently. A phase plug and a compressed molded silicon face help keep the frequency response smooth. In this second generation, the horn is larger, which gives a larger soundstage and better directivity.

The tweeter is a titanium diaphragm unit with Linear Travel Suspension (LTS), which minimizes distortion. The tweeter housing is vented to reduce standing waves that create unwanted harmonics.

Questions and answers

Is the RP-404C II worth it over the original RP-404C?
The second generation enlarges the Tractrix horn, which widens the soundstage and improves directivity. If you already own the first version, the gain is modest; for a new build, the II is the better match to current RP II speakers.
Will it fit under my TV?
It is a wide, deep cabinet with four 4-inch woofers, so measure your shelf first. Many owners put it on a stand in front of the TV rather than inside a media unit.
What receiver power does it need?
It is reasonably sensitive thanks to the horn, so most mid-range AV receivers drive it fine. A receiver with clean power and proper center-channel calibration gets the most from it.
Does it match other Klipsch Reference Premiere II speakers?
Yes. It uses the same titanium LTS tweeter and horn family as the RP II towers and bookshelves, so the front stage stays tonally consistent.
Is the treble too bright?
The horn tweeter is detailed and forward. Room correction and toe-in help, but listeners sensitive to bright treble should audition it first.
What is in the box?
The speaker itself, a grille and basic documentation. Speaker cable and a receiver are not included.
Where is the Klipsch RP-404C II Reference Premiere Center Channel Speaker cheapest?
