User questions & answers

Question:	How can i wall mount this speaker
Answer:	Not directly from the speaker cabinet, but you could use a shelf or a shelf-like center channel wall mount bracket to put this to the wall. On Amazon you could search WALI Center Channel Speaker Wall Mount Dual Bracket Holder Stands for an example mount. The R-52C dimension and weight are Height 7.3 inches / Width 18.75 inches / Depth 7.6 inches / Weight 13.5 lbs.
Question:	Looking to replace my Polk Audio CSi30 Center. Is this a good upgrade for it or more of a side-grade
Answer:	I believe it is still an upgrade, but not sure by how much. I purchased mine to replace an onkyo center from a kit. We used to sell polk and klipsch when I worked at hhgregg and klipsch was a higher quality.
Question:	Has anyone compared this to the R25c or RP
Answer:	The R25c has a max wattage of 120 watts compared to the R52 c being able to take about 400 watts,so must be a difference in magnets or something..
Question:	Just checking on how to read dimensions of this speaker. are dimensions of this speaker 7.6 h x 18.8 w x 7.3 d
Answer:	I just measured my cabinet, including the front cover: 7.6 deep 18.9 wide 7.3 high

User questions & answers

Question:	Whats the ideal screws to use to hang on a concrete wall
Answer:	I didn’t wall mount my speaker it’s sitting in a home entertainment cabinet. To wall mount in concrete you will need to drill holes in the concrete using a masonry drill bit the recommended size for the concrete wall anchors you will be using, you will put the screws into the anchors. Make sure the head of the screw will fit through the mounting hole on back of speaker. Mounting hardware kits (screws, anchors and drill bits ) are available at your Local hardware store. Of course you will need a drill, screwdriver and hammer (to use in inserting the wall anchor)
Question:	Is the signature s35 compatible with rti a7 floor standing speakers? i want to use the s35 for center channel or is another speaker better for the rti
Answer:	I think completely compatible. I use it for a center speaker. It is really nice.
Question:	Can i used this with marantz sr5012 and martin logan esl hybrid 8 i worry about tone of the voice be diferrent
Answer:	90% of the voices are coming out of the center channel, you should not notice a difference, but personally, I would stay with Martin Logan's center channel and stick with their quality.
Question:	Every speaker brand strives to be neutral, so why should there be tonal mismatches? Why must I buy a center of the same brand
Answer:	In my experience most speakers have their own tonal quality however that does not mean speakers from different manufacturers or even different models by the same manufacturer will not sound good together. I use my Polk S35 center channel speaker with four Bose 301 series speakers and a Polk PSW505 subwoofer to make up my home theater system. They sound great together and much better than it did with my original Bose center channel.

Answer:	18.75 long X 8 deep X 7.25 tall. The 8 deep is with the cover on it which is included. And all measurements are in inches.

Answer:	Yes, I also have the quintet system with the klipsch powered sub, I decided to upgrade my front 3 speakers with these and the klipsch center speaker, for better dialog, huge difference. Very happy with them.
Question:	Can you mount this speaker on the wall
Answer:	You can mount a shelf to the wall and put the speaker on that. There are no mounting brackets for this speaker. And this speaker is quite heavy for a center speaker. Great speaker.
Question:	is this unit compatible with my sonyKDL-40R450a 40 inch hdtv with out buying a receiver to connect it
Answer:	This is not a self-powered speaker, and it does not have its own power plug. It must be connected to a receiver for sound to come out.
Question:	Can it be mounted to the wall
Answer:	Yes, mine had keyhole type brackets (like the ones on the back of power strips) that let you attach flush to the wall using screws. I don't remember whether or not screws and molly bolts were included, though.
Question:	What's the sensitivity of these speakers in dbs not ohms
Answer:	these seem to be 6 ohm limited to 75W more than this seems to be distorted My receiver likes a 6 ohm for the center but is not very good at the left/right and satellite speakers So I opted for 20W and 40W Home Use - Pyle PCA2 amps
Question:	Would this work with a different brand 5.1 home theater as a center speaker
Answer:	Yes... basically it is a speaker and will work with any input rated for its impedance. It’s powerful enough to handle basic home theater not stand alone power. I believe it’s 100watts. But it will work with any system, just be mindful or the power rating.

Product description

Designed to maximize the potential of HD sound sources, this speaker series gives you everything you need to fully enjoy movies and music.

From the Manufacturer

Yamaha's NS-C210 Center Channel Speaker Maximizes the Potential of HD Sources

High Sound Quality for HD Era

With more and more music and movie sources becoming high definition, such as digital broadcasting and Blu-ray Discs, your speakers have to be able to clearly reproduce the detail and clarity that these sources provide. The NS-C210 speaker uses new aluminum woofers for extra-fast response and balanced dome tweeters to ensure the best possible sound from HD sources. The NS-C210 speaker is designed to reproduce the full, dynamic sound of HD sources.



Aluminum Cone Woofers

The use of lightweight, high stiffness aluminum for the woofer diaphragm allows high speed cone movement for fast response to each sound (fast attack). The sound is clean and detailed, with exceptionally good bass response. In addition, because the unit does not have magnetic shielding, a larger than normal magnet could be used, allowing more sound information to be extracted from the source for more realistic sound staging.



7/8" Balanced-Dome Tweeter

This tweeter is a refined version of the balanced-dome design used in Yamaha's top-class speaker systems.



Design

The elegant finishes of the NS-210 are available to match a variety of interiors. The slim design matches flat panel TVs and also allows for easy placement anywhere.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could anyone give me some ideas or companies that make a wall bracket for the 504c. I am going to have it wall mounted as I do not have the room under
Answer:	Well I could tell you if I had received it, I don't think it ever shipped. Has show its in transit for 3 weeks so guess it's coming by pony express! Haven't had a good week with a few items on Amazon. Ordered a Optrel Welding helmet with PAPR and the box came looking like a 500 lb guy sat on it and it was filled with paper and some sort of plastic and nothing else. Also received three other damaged packages. I think the ad stated the coolBelt was for a miller helmet but I was going to use it on my plasma face shield just to keep my head cool, didn't think it would be to difficult to do a retrofit but as I stated it has never arrived . At any rate how do you like the 3m Speedglass? I have 2 ESAB helmets 1 died about 6 weeks ago that's why I wanted to try the Optrel because I've heard good things and it was a reasonable price compared to the speedglass w/PAPR.
Question:	Is it a 3 way center speaker
Answer:	Thank you for contacting Arc-Zone. You can purchase a replacement hose for the coolbelt here: https://www.arc-zone.com/hose-245231. Please take a look and let us know if you have any additional questions. We look forward to hearing from you again soon. Best, Arc-Zone Customer Care
Question:	What are the dimensions
Answer:	same original battery
Question:	What is the difference between this and the 450C, besides it being a few years newer
Answer:	The smoked shield came with mine and then I ordered an amber and a clear. You will not regret buying this helmet.

Answer:	Hello, That's not an ideal choice. The TL series were designed to sound best when used with the other speakers in the same series. They have builtin high pass filters (meaning they don't reproduce any bass sounds) so they can sound lacking in fullness when used with speakers other than TL.
Question:	What is the height, and depth of the unit for sizing/install under a 6 inch depth mantle
Answer:	Product Dimensions: 3.5 deep x 15 long x 4 inches height

User questions & answers

Question:	Why are there two sets of wire inputs on the back of the speaker
Answer:	See this well written article on it, I am actually going to buy the wires myself after reading up on it despite the much higher price tag, but they are a good price on amazon, other have written they are $100 at Best Buy but $30 on Amazon -- http://www.chord.co.uk/help-and-information/speaker-cable-guide/bi-wire-or-single-wire/
Question:	does anyone know why it has 2 sets of wire inlets on each speaker? Normally it's one set black and red
Answer:	The 2 sets of speaker 5 way binding posts are for bi-wires or bi amps if you remove the bridges so you can by-pass the speaker cross-over. It's a waste of time and money since you will need an external cross-over. I wouldn't bother with it at this price point. They are as good as you can get for the price.
Question:	Why do these have a set of two connections at the back? Is it for two audio sources
Answer:	Oh my gosh please disregard any of the stupid people who said its benefits are debatable, or that it helps midrange. Those people shouldn’t answer questions about things they obviously know nothing about. I’m reporting those answers as not only wrong but intentionally ignorant. The truth is most people have their front 2 mains wired to the receiver. Today’s receivers are 7.1 and more 9.2.4 or 11.2.whatever. However most users choose not to wire speakers to the extra surround and Atmos channels. 5.1 being fine. So in addition to wiring the entire speaker to just the front Left and Right, you can remove the metal connecting both sets of posts. Leave the original speakers wires. Now go into your receivers set up menu and go to speaker set up. Most receivers have a selector for if you’re using the front-above speaker option. If not, now you can run a 2nd speaker wire to both speaker and connect to the 2 unused posts. The immediate benefit is that instead of only 2 of the amp’s 100w channels pushing the whole Left and Right, you now have 4 of the amp’s 100w channels pushing your speakers. Each speaker gets 200w.
Question:	Is there a "practical"reason for these speakers to have so many individual speakers inside them
Answer:	Yes. Oversimplifying but hopefully still useful: There's an ugly trade-off between bass quantity and quality. Larger drivers have more surface area (volume really, as a speaker is effectively an irregularly-shaped piston for pushing and pulling air). More surface area means more bass. But it also means more inertia and typically sloppy or booming (mid-)bass lacking in detail or transient response ("edges"). Smaller drivers respond faster and create tighter, punchier, more accurate (mid-)bass because it can respond faster, but less low bass due to the reduced surface area. Using multiple smaller drivers is an attempt to retain the tight and accurate mid-bass but also team the drivers up to move enough air to extend the bass down low. It's an attempt to keep the best attributes of both approaches. However, real bass-heads might still want a little more low bass. Fortunately, really low bass (say 20-60 Hz) isn't particularly critical and you can get away with a massive woofer like 12" or even 15". For this, a subwoofer is perfect. If you add a subwoofer to a speaker like this, be sure to cross it over well below 100 Hz, as you paid for bass accuracy and you wouldn't want to degrade it by too much overlap. Think of the subwoofer as turning your 3 way speakers into 4 way speakers. You don't want much overlap. As with any free audio advice, take nobody's word for anything and experiment for yourself. Every room and every ear is different, so I might be all wet. That said, there' s the rationale, in a nutshell.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you match this with synergy towers
Answer:	Shouldn't be a problem. I have a mix of Klipsch speakers in my 9/2 setup. The towers are the Icon series (spit the towers upper/lower) and a few select speakers (front center and two surround speakers) are Reference series. The slight difference in efficiency due to speaker magnet size can be compensated for in the receiver/amp tuning. I have a Yamaha RX-A1020 amp which allows me to tune each speaker based on distance and db preference. I am very satisfied with my setup. It is not volume that impresses me but clarity. The better the quality of the music (high definition) the better the system sounds.
Question:	Will this work with only a 50watt/channel marantze 5.1 receiver
Answer:	Should work with a variety of receivers. I have mine hook up to a 300 watt 7.1 Onkyo receiver as the center speaker and it is awesome.
Question:	I have Heresy 2 speakers will this match the sound from these outstanding speakers
Answer:	Technically no. The Heresy's are from the Heritage line of Klipsch, and the RC-42 is the Reference line. The correct "timbre" match would be another Heritage speaker, (another Heresy or Academy). The Academy is the best fit. It was made to use with the Heritage series speakers, Klipschorn, La Scala, Cornwall or Forte. You can't just go by the sensitivity of the speakers to match them. I have 4 Cornwall's and an Academy as the center for my home theater setup, and it sounds incredible. I also have Klipsch RF 3's upstairs which were the first speakers in the Reference line for Klipsch, and that is why I bought the RC-42, because it is a "timbre" match for them, and the sound is seamless with them.
Question:	Does this speaker have much bass? Although sometimes valued, I do not like a lot of bass in my center channel. Thanks
Answer:	The dual 4" speakers of the RC-42 (center speaker) add a little bass to the front speakers but if you want to feel it consider adding the Klipch SW-450 subwoofer with 10" speaker (there are a few different sizes available). Yes they cost more.

Hybrid Tractrix Horn Technology

Klipsch proprietary Tractrix horn-loaded technology ensures high-frequency energy of the Reference Premiere center channel speakers are aimed directly at the listener and reduces unwanted, artificial reverb caused by indirect sound bouncing off walls - meaning you experience the most clear, detailed, lifelike sound possible.

Linear Travel Suspension Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter

The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference lines, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world

Vented Tweeter Design

The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.

Spun Copper Cerametallic Woofers

A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic woofers are rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. When paired with the Tractrix horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides the highest speaker efficiency in its class.

Tractrix Ports

Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies. Klipsch Tractrix ports have custom designed inner flares that help reduce air turbulence entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass.

ROBUST INPUT TERMINALS

Single 5-way screw terminals accept banana plugs or bare wire up to 12-gauge for flexible, lasting connections while the vibrant color coding provides easy set-up and connection.

FURNITURE GRADE MATERIALS AND FINISHES

Finishes include ebony vinyl, walnut vinyl and piano gloss. Ebony and walnut models boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant finish, while the premium piano gloss cabinet is hand-sanded for a clear, mirror-like finish. The mirror-life piano gloss finish is seamless due to the meticulous hand sanded and hand polished process.

Dramatic Details

Copper anodized trim rings, cast aluminum feet, satin painted baffles and a laser etched logo treatment give the Reference Premiere II series a modern, premium look.
