The RP-500SA II is a compact Dolby Atmos elevation and surround speaker from Klipsch's Reference Premiere line. A rear switch flips it between up-firing height duty, wall-mounted height duty and rear surround duty, so one cabinet covers three jobs. It uses a 1-inch titanium tweeter in a 90° x 90° silicon-composite Tractrix horn plus a 5.25-inch spun-copper woofer, the same driver family as the rest of the Reference Premiere II range. Buyers rate it very highly and mostly praise how well it blends with matching Klipsch towers and how easy it is to mount and switch modes; the main caveats are that it needs a receiver with Atmos decoding and that its best results come from careful placement and room calibration.

The Klipsch RP-500SA II is a Dolby Atmos enabled speaker from the Reference Premiere line. A switch lets it work as an up-firing immersive speaker, a height speaker or a rear surround speaker. It can be added to any monitor or tower speaker, or used as a surround speaker.
The speaker has a 90° x 90° Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix Horn. Horn loading increases efficiency and detail, and it focuses high frequencies on the listening area. The Tractrix geometry transfers high-frequency waves into the listening area efficiently. A phase plug and a compressed molded silicon face keep the frequency response smooth.
