Klipsch Re-Engineers Its All-Weather Speaker Lines

Klipsch has announced a total re-engineering of its all-weather surface mount speakers with the all-new Residential Surface Mount and Professional Surface Mount lines. These products will replace longstanding AW/CA/CP models, adding new features for improved sound quality and durability.

The new RSM and PSM lines deliver vastly improved sound performance and dispersion thanks in part to Klipsch’s new Tractrix Hyperfold Port and new compression driver innovations, plus better durability for outdoor performance now with an IPX6 rating. The PSM series offers convenient multi-tap transformers for 70-volt or 100-volt audio systems with a bypass mode that allows regular 8-ohm operation for installations that do not require a transformer.

The RSM and PSM lines also feature a sleek new look with a smaller footprint than previous generations. They are offered in black and white finishes (with paintable grilles), making these ultra-durable speakers perfectly suitable for a wide range of installations without sacrificing sound quality, indoors or out.

Residential Surface Mount Series

Tractrix Hyperfold Port: Klipsch is all about high efficiency and low distortion. Building upon that legacy, we’re introducing the all-new patented Tractrix Hyperfold Port engineered to extend port length for maximum bass power via proprietary five-step folded design. Its increased airflow eliminates chuffing and port noise while providing a greater dispersion pattern for larger coverage areas.

IPX6 Rated: Designed for indoor and outdoor residential installations, the Klipsch RSM Series is IPX6 Rated. Your clients will rest easy knowing their new speakers will be weather-resistant for the most challenging residential environments.

Set Screws on Grille: The included set screws on each grille ensure a secure fit between the speaker and grille while making sure the grilles stay on the enclosures regardless of the environment.

Titanium Compression Driver: Klipsch’s RSM Series features the all-new 1-inch Titanium-loaded floating driver bridge with a wide dispersion phase plug. Using its patented mumps technology, the RSM Series gives any space extra-wide coverage while providing even and consistent energy for your project.

Dual 5-Way Binding Post: All RSM speakers employ dual 5-way binding posts for versatile connection.
