A convincing Dolby Atmos system depends on placing sound above and around the listener without losing the energy of the main speaker array. The Klipsch RP-500SA II handles that role with unusual versatility, operating as an up-firing Atmos module, a wall-mounted height channel or a rear surround speaker.
Klipsch pairs its titanium LTS vented tweeter with an expanded Tractrix® horn, giving effects the clarity and controlled direction needed to move cleanly through a dedicated cinema room. A Cerametallic™ woofer adds the speed and weight required for flyovers, weather effects and ambient detail to remain part of the soundtrack rather than sounding detached from it.
A switchable crossover changes the speaker between Dolby Atmos and Dolby Surround operation. Place the pair on compatible Reference Premiere floorstanding speakers for reflected overhead sound, or use the integrated keyhole mounts to create elevation or surround channels along the room’s walls.
Internally braced sealed cabinets, aluminium binding posts and removable magnetic grilles give the RP-500SA II the finish expected of the Reference Premiere range. This is a particularly polished route to a more enveloping cinema layout, with enough placement freedom to suit both carefully planned rooms and substantial system upgrades.
