Horns have always been the

key component of this critically acclaimed series.
In the RC-52, this technology has been refined to

The RC-52 employs dual 5.25-inch woofers for a

that can severely impair sound quality at the sides

The RC-52’s rigid cabinet offers improved internal
cross-bracing to minimize panel vibrations that can

around the horn mouth dramatically improves
acoustics across the sonic range. For signal purity
and perfect driver integration, the crossover on
the RC -52 features the finest components and
Klipsch custom internal wiring.
