Klipsch Reference Series RB-35 - Left / right channel speakers - 125 Watt - 2-way - black ash
!9# Klipsch Reference Series RB-35 - Left / right channel speakers - 125 Watt - 2-way - black ash
The Reference Series bookshelf loudspeaker models achieve the same level of power, detail and emotion as their floorstanding counterparts. The new RB-35 sets the perfect example because it doesn't let its compact size stand in the way of producing a precise and intense sound that's certainly worthy of carrying on the Reference legacy. The RB-35 delivers dynamic sound through an 8-inch woofer and 1-inch titanium-dome tweeter that features a high-energy, video-shielded Neodymium magnet. The tweeter is coupled to an exclusive Klipsch square Tractrix(R) Horn that increases sensitivity while minimizing the room interactions that blur the sonic detail and imaging of conventional speakers. The woofer on the RB-35 uses an enhanced version of Klipsch's distinguished, copper-colored Cerametallic(TM) material that is stronger than ever. This cone is made of an anodized aluminum that makes it tough but does not take away from its beauty. The anodizing process converts its inner and outer surface to ceramic. The result is a rigid cone with outstanding damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer's operating range. Driving this cone is a large, video-shielded magnet and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coil, for high efficiency and deep, powerful, articulate bass without breakup or distortion. Installing the RB-35 is a breeze. It has front-mounted, flared port to facilitate placement in a cabinet or against a wall. The RB-35 also has a back-panel keyhole for flush mounting to a wall and a threaded insert for attachment to popular adjustable wall and ceiling brackets. The RB-35 pushes the performance envelope due to a crossover network that uses extremely high-end components, including top-of-the-line internal wiring, polyester film-type capacitors and an air-core inductor. These parts are mounted on a high-quality fiberglass epoxy circuit board.

Klipsch Reference Series RC-35 - Center channel speaker - 125 Watt - 2.5-way - black ash
!9# Klipsch Reference Series RC-35 - Center channel speaker - 125 Watt - 2.5-way - black ash
The RC-35 is a high-performance center channel designed primarily for use with other Reference Series loudspeakers, which it matches both cosmetically and sonically. However, exceptional clarity and neutrality make it a superior choice for any home theater system. The speaker's horizontally oriented cabinet is compact enough to fit comfortably on top of most television sets but large enough to provide extended bass response. And front porting allows it to be installed in a cabinet or flush against a wall without loss of sound quality. An adjustable foot enables the RC-35 to tilt up or down for aiming into the listening area. Because of its high powerhandling capability and unusually high sensitivity, the RC-35 can sustain significantly higher output than most conventional center speakers, which is important, since the center channel typically carries about 60% of the total energy in a surround movie soundtrack. The amplifier power required is less than half that of most competitors. High frequencies are reproduced by a 1-inch titanium dome compression driver tweeter. A 6-inch square 90 degrees x 60 degrees Tractrix(R) Horn molded into the front of the enclosure raises the driver's efficiency and controls its radiation pattern to minimize detail-blurring reflections from room surfaces. Flanking the tweeter are dual 6.5-inch polymer frame, Cerametallic(TM)cone woofers configured in a Tapered Array. Klipsch Tapered Array(TM) Technology operates both woofers at the lowest frequencies and only one all the way up to the point where the tweeter takes over, eliminating the destructive middle-frequency interference between woofer outputs characteristic of ordinary woofer-tweeterwoofer lineups. All drivers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with directview television sets. Premium crossover components ensure optimum signal transfer.
