Klipsch RC-62 Ref IV Center Channel Speaker – 600W Peak!
A highly regarded Klipsch Reference center channel in very good condition with a freshly re-clothed grille, ready to transform the dialogue and front-stage performance of any home theatre system.
Radique’s Take: If you’re tired of straining to hear dialogue in movies or other content, treat yourself to this high-end Klipsch center. Its extreme efficiency, excellent power handling, and impressive frequency response make it a massive upgrade over the vast majority of center speakers on the market.
Realistic home theatre sound starts with the center channel, and the Klipsch RC-62 delivers all the subtleties and dynamics required for a riveting home theatre experience. Using patented Klipsch speaker technology, it fleshes out the front soundstage and ensures that every word and every detail of your favourite movies comes through with clarity and impact. Whether placed above or below the television screen, the included uptilt and downtilt feet allow the speaker to be aimed precisely at the listening position for the best possible sound.
At the heart of the RC-62 is Klipsch’s celebrated Tractrix horn loaded with a 1-inch titanium-diaphragm compression driver, matched to a large ceramic motor structure for precision, clarity, and effortless dynamic power. The 90° x 60° horn disperses high frequencies evenly across a wide listening window while keeping them focused where they matter most — directly toward the listening position. The result is an open, dynamic presentation with the signature front-row clarity Klipsch has long been known for, effortlessly loud and articulate at any volume.
The RC-62 employs dual 6.5-inch Cerametallic woofers with inverted copper dust caps, offering a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics. Uniquely, the RC-62 uses Klipsch’s Tapered Array design — both woofers operate at the lowest frequencies to maintain high output capability, but only one operates through the midrange up to the tweeter crossover. This eliminates the acoustic interference between woofers that can compromise off-axis performance in conventional center channel designs, delivering noticeably cleaner dialogue across the seating area.
The rigid, cross-braced cabinet is finished in black ash woodgrain vinyl and features twin front-firing ports for clean, turbulence-free bass. The speaker is fully video-shielded, and the freshly re-clothed magnetic grille presents beautifully. This unit is in very good cosmetic condition overall, and has been thoroughly inspected and tested to confirm full functionality.

Klipsch began in Hope, Arkansas, in 1946, when Paul W. Klipsch started building his corner-horn Klipschorn, and its Heritage speakers are still built by hand in Hope. We carry Klipsch towers, centre channels, bookshelf speakers and subwoofers. We've had more than 160 Klipsch listings so far. Every used Klipsch here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.
The Klipsch story, 1946 to today
Paul W. Klipsch was posted to Hope, Arkansas, in 1941 as an Army officer. He patented his corner-horn design in the mid-1940s and founded Klipsch in Hope in 1946; Klipsch says its first speaker was built by hand there that year, with the horn made in a tin shed. He hired his first employee in 1948.
The Heritage line. The Klipschorn of 1946 was followed by the Heresy (1957), designed as a centre speaker to sit between a pair of Klipschorns, the Cornwall (1959), the La Scala (1963) and the Forte (1985).
A new generation. Fred Klipsch bought the company from Paul Klipsch in 1989, and headquarters later moved to Indianapolis. Paul Klipsch died in 2002 at 98. The Reference Series arrived in 1999.
A Canadian connection. In 2006 Klipsch bought Audio Products International of Toronto, with its Energy and Mirage brands. Audiovox, later VOXX, bought Klipsch in 2011, and Gentex bought VOXX in 2025.
Which Klipsch is which?
Heritage: the Klipschorn, Heresy, Cornwall, La Scala and Forte, built to order by hand in Hope. Drivers change between generations, so identify the version.
KG series (mid-1980s to early 1990s): lower-priced horn-tweeter floorstanders such as the KG 4 (1985 to 1992) and KG 5.5.
Reference (1999 onward): horn-tweeter towers, bookshelf speakers and centres, from the RB-5 and RF-7 to the later RF, RB and RC models.
Synergy (late 1990s and 2000s): such as the KSF 8.5 and the SF-1.
Subwoofers: powered models such as the RPW-10.
Buying used Klipsch: what to check
Horn diaphragms. The compression drivers in older Klipsch speakers age; owners report tired midrange diaphragms on Heritage models and raspy tweeters on some KG pairs. Listen to each horn on its own at a moderate level.
Reference tweeters. A crackling tweeter can be a loose connection, and owners say these tweeters can fail if played very loud.
Crossovers and passive radiators. Many Heritage and KG owners recap their crossovers, and KG passive radiators can have cracked surrounds.
Modifications. Aftermarket diaphragms and crossovers are common upgrades on Heritage and KG models. Ask what has been changed.
Where it was made. Heritage models are built in Hope. Check the label before calling any other Klipsch "made in USA".
Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
