Manufacturer description

Klipsch dispels the myth that bigger always means better by introducing the new compact RSX-4 Satellite loudspeaker in its best-selling Reference Series line. For the first time, the Reference Series legacy of advanced technology and visual sophistication extends into a lifestyle category. The RSX-4 combines performance, style and functionality for users seeking dynamic sound and an elegant appearance, but require a small, unobtrusive speaker for their home entertainment systems. It can serve as either a left or right monitor, as well as a surround speaker. The RSX-4 boasts outstanding efficiency by utilizing a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver coupled to Klipsch's new round MicroTractrix Horn. This magnetically shielded speaker also employs an advanced 4-inch woofer to achieve remarkable sonic detail. The woofer is a long-throw unit powered by a unique neodymium motor structure. The Cerametallic cone is lightweight with excellent rigidity, which dramatically reduces any resonance. As a result, the RSX-4 is capable of robust bass extending low enough for comfortable operation with today's built-in A/V preamp/processor and receiver crossovers. As with all new Reference Series models, the RSX-4 uses high-quality network components and top-of-the-line internal wiring for proper driver blending with minimal degradation of the incoming signals. These premium features ensure lifelike performances. The RSX-4 sports a modern look that comes in a black or silver finish and was designed to handle multiple installation applications. The satellite's integrated pedestal stand with ball joint allow it to be adjusted in almost any direction by simply using the provided allen wrench. Keyholes are provided on underside of the pedestal for no-hassle wall mounting. The satellite's magnetic grille easily snaps into place over its cast-aluminum front baffle, while sturdy five-way binding posts ensure secure connection to any type of cable. This affordable Reference Satellite comes individually packaged for mix-and-match simplicity. It is also sold as part of the Klipsch Cinema 8 home theater package. And, thanks to Sanus Systems, accessory upgrades such as satellite floor stands are also available. The Euro Foundations black EFSatB and silver EFSatS stands are a perfect match for the RSX-4 and can be purchased directly from Sanus. This great-looking monitor may be compact, but its amazing sound presence allows listeners to experience the vitality, intensity and passion of live performances and cinematic experiences.
