Review on πŸ”Š Optimized Klipsch RP-504C Ebony Center Channel Speaker by Agata Wozniak ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

The center was taken as part of a set of 5 Klipsch columns. Prior to that, the center was Heko Aurora. As if not a bad center, but the sound did not suit me. This Klipsh is superior to Aurora in everything except the legs. But you need to adjust the sound with an equalizer. Let now someone notably light up the fifth point from the word "equalizer", but I want to listen as I like. Maybe someday I'll make up my mind and disassemble this column in order to dampen the rumble of the case with something. Judging by the large number of videos on YouTube, poor damping for Klipsh is the "norm". Bottom line: Klipsh acoustics are not feng shui at all, due to copper notes in the sound, and it is best used for home theaters. In this capacity, she is good. Especially for those who like a bright sound and that brass cymbals sound like a live drum kit, and not "restrained and even", that is, not muffled and not from afar. Well, the design is as bright as the sound. But the sound itself needs to be adjusted, depending on the size of the case and what the Chinese citizens put into it.

Pros
  • First of all, the appearance and the fact that the crossover is three lanes. The sound, for my taste and needs, is good, but you have to conjure.
Cons
  • The greed of manufacturers who feel sorry for at least some semblance of legs to make, instead of indistinct squares, 2 mm thick. Before that, there was a Heko Aurora center and the Germans were not too lazy in it, they made normal rubber legs with bolts. Klipsch's body is 35 cm deep, which already pushes it decently away from the TV, and the phase inverter pipe requires it to be pushed at least another 20 centimeters forward. I think developers don't care about consumer convenience. Well, or it is meant to put a column in the center of the hall. Such a volume requires much more rigidity. Make the walls thicker or put more spacers or paste over with a sound absorber. But there is none of that. Greed again. The case, especially in the middle, responds to tapping with a low sound, and when played back, it resonates well, adding a rumble to male voices, making them louder, but less legible. Baritones are hard to listen to. And in general, the rumble of the case is wildly unpleasant. Therefore, I had to play around with the equalizer in order to compensate for the rumble and increase the intelligibility of voices and the overall detail of the sounds.
