Klipsch PRO-180RPC LCR Reference Premiere In-Ceiling Speaker

Klipsch PRO-180RPC LCR In-Ceiling Speaker

The Klipsch PRO-180RPC LCR is a high-performance in-ceiling LCR (Left/Center/Right) speaker designed to deliver true front-stage impact from a clean, flush architectural install. Built with the same premium acoustic DNA as Klipsch Reference Premiere, it pairs a 45° angled 8" Cerametallic™ woofer with a 45° angled 1" titanium dome tweeter loaded into an FEA-optimized Tractrix® horn for focused, dynamic sound and excellent dialogue clarity. The unique angled design projects audio toward the listening area—so you get “front-row” home theater energy even when placement demands in-ceiling installation. Installation is streamlined and reliable thanks to the SecureFit™ modular system, and the finished look disappears into the room with bezel-free magnetic, paintable grilles (both round and square are included), plus a PVC paint shield for remodeling and new construction. The Klipsch PRO-180RPC LCR is part of ListenUp's Klipsch In-Ceiling Speakers Collection.

What It's Good At:

• Delivering convincing front-channel LCR performance from an in-ceiling location with a 45° angled driver array
• Producing clear, intelligible dialogue and detailed high frequencies via the Tractrix® horn + titanium tweeter
• Creating a wide, controlled sound field (90° x 90° coverage) for consistent seating-to-seating listening
• Playing loud with ease thanks to high sensitivity (96 dB) and Klipsch’s efficient horn-loaded design
• Clean, premium installs with SecureFit™ clamping and robust module-to-bezel fastening
• Blending seamlessly into décor with bezel-free, magnetic, paintable grilles (round and square included)
