Klipsch RP-500C II - Walnut brings refined center-channel performance to your home theater with a stylish walnut finish and a design focused on clear, dynamic dialogue reproduction.

This two-way center speaker is built for tabletop or bookshelf placement and uses a reflex (bass-reflex) enclosure crafted from sturdy MDF to balance low-end punch with controlled midrange clarity. Its dimensions (491 mm W × 269 mm D × 174 mm H) and 8.3 kg weight make it solid yet easy to position above or below your screen.

The RP-500C II features a three-driver layout with a 1" (2.54 cm) tweeter and two 5.25" (13.3 cm) woofers. The single tweeter delivers crisp high frequencies while the dual woofers support a frequency range of 56–25,000 Hz, producing natural-sounding vocals and immersive center imaging for movies and TV.

With an impedance of 8 Ω, a sensitivity of 94 dB and an RMS rated power of 100 W (400 W PMPO peak), this wired speaker is optimized for integration with a home AV receiver. It offers robust output for dialogue-centric passages without needing a dedicated amplifier built into the cabinet.

Designed for home use, the Klipsch RP-500C II excels at delivering intelligible speech and on-screen detail, making it ideal for film enthusiasts and TV watchers who want a pronounced center channel. The bass reflex design and crossover at 1630 Hz ensure smooth transitions between the tweeter and woofers for coherent sound staging.

Use cases include anchoring a 5.1 or 3.1 home theater setup to improve voice clarity, pairing it with Klipsch bookshelf or tower speakers for a matched tonal palette, or placing it on an AV cabinet for TV and movie nights. Its walnut finish also complements wood and warm-toned interiors.

The speaker connects via wired binding posts for reliable signal transfer and avoids wireless complications, making it straightforward to set up with existing receivers. Although it has no built-in amplifier or Bluetooth, its high sensitivity means many mid-range receivers will drive it well.
