Review: Great Purchase! - Why did you pick this product vs others?: ​I chose this Klipsch Reference Next-Generation R-30C center speaker is because I wanted uniformity and it is part of the Klipsch Reference Series and goes perfect with my Klipsch Reference R-26FA Floor standing Speakers that ensures a tonally matched sound that is crystal clear with no distortion at any level and is frekin AMAZING! for me the center channel speaker position that is very commonly placed at the bottom of the TV didn't sound great to me so I went with mounting my Klipsch center channel above the TV as well as elevated my Klipsch tower Atmos speakers because the front firing ports on the bottom of the towers were too low to the ground for me and I also wanted to raise the upward firing Atmos channel subwoofers and the acoustics improved tenfold and encompasses my theater system experience. Now I just need a few Klipsch 2X- 400W all digital powered subwoofers to complete my ultimate Klipsch dynamic 3D, Dolby Digital Atmos DTS-X, 11.2 channel theater experience! Keep in mind I still have my 9 Harmon Kardon (that makes JBL) satellite theater speakers all powered by my Denon AVR-X6700H that will power dual subwoofers. For now I have a JBL and Harmon Kardon subwoofers that still put out great subwoofer quality sound, but to have my primary speakers all Klipsch Reference is definitely the plan. One thing I don't care for with all theater systems is that for them to be theater surround systems, the center channel sound only comes from one direction which is toward you but from no other direction, SOOOO I bridged my center channel and placed one of my Harmon Kardon center channel satellite speakers on the wall behind me and now I am entirely encompassed in center channel Digital Dolby dialog, and when I mentioned this to Denon, because I called them with a issue I was having, they said it was wrong, but that guy obviously had no sense of innovation and adaptation to expand and create a fuller theater surround system. I also bridged the center channel and have one in my bar area and way back in my kitchen so the whole house is in DTS-X 11.2 channel Digital Dolby Atmos and it is WONDERFUL!! And of course I give all the glory to God for being so blessed! 🤗 Review: High quality center channel - Compliments the Klipsch RP600M's well. The center creates a huge soundstage while providing clear vocals ## Features - ALL NEW 90° x 90° TRACTRIX HORN: Experience the cleanest, most natural sound possible. The increased outer horn dimensions allow for directivity control over a larger bandwidth of frequencies, resulting in improved high frequency directivity and a more accurate sound stage. - LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) ALUMINUM TWEETER WITH KAPTON SUSPENSION: LTS minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Aluminum is an extremely light and rigid material used in the 1” tweeter assembly to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail. - SPUN-COPPER THERMOFORMED CRYSTALLINE POLYMER: Utilizing trickle-down technology from Klipsch’s highly acclaimed Reference Premiere series, the 3.5” TCP woofers have steeper angling of the cones for a smoother response and improved accuracy and transparency. - HEAR EVERY WORD: Tapered array crossovers improve dispersion, resulting in better midrange definition to catch every bit of dialogue. - SLEEK, MODERN APPEARANCE: Hidden fasteners, edge-to-edge horn, and low-profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance. - MDF CABINET WITH SCRATCH-RESISTANT, TEXTURED WOOD GRAIN VINYL: Stylish aesthetic with best-in-class durability that results in seamless integration into any décor. - HIGH QUALITY CABINET DESIGN: Reinforced ¾” MDF construction with an all-new bracing design reduces cabinet vibration for improved sonic accuracy. - Dimensions = 5” (H) X 26” (W) X 6.8” (D) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09PB2PN3J | | Audio Driver Size | 8.89 Centimeters | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #39,523 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #17 in Center-Channel Speakers | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Television, Projector | | Control Method | Remote | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (154) | | Date First Available | May 16, 2022 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00743878046342 | | Included Components | Speaker | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Is Waterproof | FALSE | | Item Weight | 13 pounds | | Item model number | R-30C | | Manufacturer | Klipsch | | Material | Wood | | Model Name | R-30C | | Mounting Type | Tabletop Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Power Source | AC | | Product Dimensions | 6.81"D x 25.98"W x 4.96"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Home Theater | | Set Name | 1 | | Shape | rectangular prism | | Speaker Size | 8.89 Centimeters | | Speaker Type | Component | | Special Feature | Bass Boost | | Style | Modern, Sleek | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Subwoofer Diameter | 3.5 Inches | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 1.0 | | Tweeter Diameter | 1 Inches | | UPC | 743878046342 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Type | Full | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Communication Technology | No Wireless Communication Technology | | Woofer Diameter | 3.5 Inches | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo, Surround - **Brand:** Klipsch - **Connectivity Technology:** RCA - **Frequency Response:** 78 Hz - **Speaker Maximum Output Power:** 400 Watts ## Images ![- Klipsch Reference Next-Generation R-30C Horn-Loaded Center Channel Speakers for Crystal-Clear Home Theater Dialogue in Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41YkEVtCMgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can't find the total watts it can handle** A: This speaker can handle - 100W Continuous /400W Peak. **Q: Can i remplace/uprgarde the Center Channel of the Klipsch Reference Cinema Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 System with R-30C?** A: Sure can, R-30C will play well with the RCS 5.1.4 system! Thanks! **Q: Can r30c be used vertically as a l&r channel with either rp600 or rp500c ii center channel? need a narrow l&r channel speakers due to space** A: Yes, although it is designed to be a center channel you technically could use it for any other surround channel application. **Q: Which of these center channel r30c, rp500cii and rp600 is better for a 15' deep room** A: Either speaker should work well in that room. The RP line speakers will offer more bass response and higher fidelity. The RP-600C II will be able to handle more power as well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Purchase! *by C***7 on July 10, 2025* Why did you pick this product vs others?: ​I chose this Klipsch Reference Next-Generation R-30C center speaker is because I wanted uniformity and it is part of the Klipsch Reference Series and goes perfect with my Klipsch Reference R-26FA Floor standing Speakers that ensures a tonally matched sound that is crystal clear with no distortion at any level and is frekin AMAZING! for me the center channel speaker position that is very commonly placed at the bottom of the TV didn't sound great to me so I went with mounting my Klipsch center channel above the TV as well as elevated my Klipsch tower Atmos speakers because the front firing ports on the bottom of the towers were too low to the ground for me and I also wanted to raise the upward firing Atmos channel subwoofers and the acoustics improved tenfold and encompasses my theater system experience.
