Product Overview

The Klipsch RP-404C II is a high-performance center channel designed to anchor the entire cinematic soundstage. Thanks to its four-woofer array and horn-loaded tweeter, it provides superb dialogue articulation and maintains clarity even during the most intense action sequences.

As part of the Reference Premiere II series, it features upgraded drivers, smoother horn geometry and enhanced cabinet construction for better damping and reduced distortion. The result is a center speaker that projects voice and on-screen effects with accuracy, authority and lifelike immediacy.

Listening Experience

The RP-404C II delivers a focused, articulate and powerful sonic presentation. Dialogue remains crystal clear and intelligible at any volume, while the four 4" Cerametallic™ woofers provide strong midbass impact and excellent dynamic headroom.

The titanium LTS tweeter ensures clean, detailed highs that never become sharp or fatiguing. Whether watching films, TV or concert material, voices feel anchored to the screen with impressive precision and emotional weight.

Recommended Room Size

Ideal for medium to large home cinema rooms. Its horizontal driver layout ensures excellent dispersion, making it particularly effective for wide seating arrangements.

Amplifier Pairing

The RP-404C II pairs exceptionally well with AV receivers delivering 100 to 150 watts per channel. For optimal performance, we recommend AVRs from:

• Onkyo – dynamic, detailed multichannel amplification

These brands provide the clean power and control needed to fully exploit the center speaker’s dynamic capabilities and maintain clarity even at reference listening levels.
