Klipsch PRO-180RPC Reference Premiere In-Ceiling Speaker

Klipsch PRO-180RPC In-Ceiling Speaker

The Klipsch PRO-180RPC is a premium in-ceiling speaker engineered to bring true Reference Premiere performance to custom-installed distributed audio and home theater systems. It pairs an 8-inch Cerametallic woofer with a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter loaded into a composite-coated, round Tractrix® horn for dynamic output, crisp detail, and controlled dispersion. Installation is streamlined with Klipsch’s modular SecureFit™ system, designed for a firm, consistent clamp without the risk of over-torquing. For a clean architectural finish, it includes both round and square, paintable magnetic grilles, plus a magnetic PVC paint shield to protect the driver during painting or remodeling. The Klipsch PRO-180RPC is part of ListenUp's Klipsch In-Ceiling Speakers Collection.
