Center Channel for Clear Dialogue
The Klipsch RP-404CWII is a dedicated center channel speaker designed to anchor a home-theatre system with precise vocal reproduction. Its walnut finish suits traditional and modern living rooms alike. The sealed, shallow-depth cabinet allows flexible placement inside entertainment units or on shelves. It serves listeners who want intelligible dialogue without a large footprint.
Sustained Output with Four Woofers
Four 4-inch Cerametallic woofers share the midrange and lower-frequency workload, reducing the excursion demand on each driver during extended movie sessions. The vented tweeter housing lowers standing-wave buildup that can colour high frequencies over time. Linear Travel Suspension on the titanium diaphragm tweeter keeps distortion low even at reference-level peaks. The 90° x 90° Tractrix horn maintains consistent directivity across a wide listening area.
Sealed Cabinet Limits Room Interaction
The sealed enclosure eliminates port resonance and reduces low-frequency energy that can excite room modes at typical listening volumes. Without a rear port, placement near walls or inside cabinets does not exaggerate bass response. The tweeter vent dissipates rear-wave energy, preventing heat buildup behind the diaphragm during long passages. Amplifier demand stays moderate thanks to the horn-loaded tweeter’s high sensitivity.

Questions about this item
How much heat or fan noise does the RP-404CWII produce when running all day?
As a passive loudspeaker the RP-404CWII has no internal amplifier or fan, so it generates no heat and makes no electrical noise; only the audio signal from your receiver creates sound.
What amplifier or receiver connections do I already need to drive the RP-404CWII?
You need a home-theatre receiver or stereo amplifier with a dedicated center-channel output and speaker-cable terminals; the speaker itself provides binding posts for bare wire, spades or banana plugs.
Will the RP-404CWII timbre-match my older Klipsch Reference or Reference Premiere fronts?
Yes — the 90° x 90° Tractrix horn and LTS titanium tweeter share the same acoustic signature as current Reference Premiere models, so dialogue blends seamlessly with legacy Klipsch front speakers.
