Klipsch RS-42 Reference IV Horn-Loaded Surround Speakers, Pair

Klipsch RS-42 Reference IV Horn-Loaded 4 Driver Surround Speakers, Pair

A very-good-condition pair of Klipsch RS-42 Reference IV surround speakers — highly efficient, horn-loaded 4-driver dipole/bipole-style surrounds engineered to deliver the kind of dynamic, room-filling ambient effects that transform a home-theatre system from good to genuinely cinematic.

Here’s your ticket to thrilling movie effects. The Klipsch RS-42 surround speakers feature two sets of drivers angled 90 degrees apart from each other. This clever design delivers ambient effects in a full 180-degree arc, for a diffuse soundfield that completely envelops the listener. It also allows these speakers to deliver great sound even when placed in less-than-ideal locations — a real advantage in real-world rooms where the textbook surround position simply isn’t available. You’ll enjoy dynamic surround sound that enhances your movie-watching experience, from soft sounds like crickets chirping to the roar of a jet plane flying overhead.

The RS-42 uses horn-loaded tweeters. Flared openings in the enclosure project high frequencies toward your listening area and prevent sound waves from simply spilling out in all directions — the same principle that makes your voice easier to hear when you cup your hands around your mouth. This horn design brings out details in everything you listen to, while reducing reflections that can colour the sound. It also improves dynamics and efficiency, for powerful, front-row sound that remains crystal-clear at all volume levels.

Klipsch’s signature high-sensitivity design (93 dB) means these surrounds will play effortlessly loud with even modest amplifier power, and they integrate beautifully with any Klipsch Reference front-stage system as well as with a wide range of other brands. Wall-mounting is straightforward thanks to integrated keyhole slots and dual threaded inserts for optional brackets, making installation in a finished room genuinely simple.
