An issue as bad as it soundsAnemic audio is a problem that’s sweeping the nation. Speakers that cannot reach a full range of sound, producing clear, sweet highs and deep, full bass, and cannot completely fill the rooms they’re meant to operate in have taken over home audio systems. Klipsch has re-designed their Reference series floorstanding speakers in an attempt to strike back against the menace that is unfulfilling sound. Utilizing a 1” titanium tweeter coupled with their high efficiency Tractrix horns, and a pair of 5.25” Cerametallic woofers, the RF52 floorstanding speaker is your ticket to great home audio sound for both music and home theatre applications. Getting on the hornOn of the main weapons that Klipsch has called on in order to further their fight against poor quality audio is the Tractrix horn driven tweeter. Since the beginning of their over 60 year fight, Klipsch has been using horn driven speakers to make their speakers more efficient, so that they are able to use a smaller amount of power to produce a greater amount of sound. The Tractrix horn is matched to its tweeter in order to produce not only excellent highs, but also better mid-range tones so that the speaker is able to create a much broader range of sound than it otherwise might be able to. Building a better speakerCreating excellent, long lasting audio equipment takes good materials, and Klipsch is dedicated to making speakers using materials that not only stand the test of time, but also optimize audio performance. First in their arsenal is the tweeter, which uses a stiff, lightweight titanium dome in order promote an open natural sound. The dual woofers use Cerametallic cones, or specially treated aluminum, to better dampen their sound, prevent distortion, and otherwise create a tight, controlled, yet responsive bass. The cabinet is built with a dual-ported enclosure to make sure that the speaker is able to further produce room filling bass, without wasting any power. A new generation of soundKlipsch is not new to the battle against poor sound, as they have been producing high-quality, horn driven speakers since 1946 when Paul W. Klipsch embarked on his goal of producing speakers that would be able to authentically recreate orchestra quality sound within the home. Klipsch’s Reference series of speakers is now in its fifth generation of designs, having been refined in design and style over the years with the goal of producing high quality audio, while still remaining affordable for the home theatre enthusiast. Redesigned crossovers and drivers improve audio quality, while changes to the speaker’s finish on the cabinet, baffles and drivers update the look and style of this classic speaker. On the wireMake sure your speakers are not caught with sub-par support. The connection between your speaker and your amplifier is the lifeline that sends not only power, but also the signals that your speakers use to create the sound you hear.
