Spun-copper Cerametallic woofer
The RP-1600SW comes loaded with a 16-inch spun-copper Cerametallic woofer, yielding impressive low-frequency audio reproduction all the way down to 14.5Hz. We're highly impressed by the quality of Klipsch's Cerametallic woofers here at Sweetwater — they positively represent the pinnacle of Klipsch's driver design. No matter what you listen to, these rigid yet eminently lightweight drivers will deliver the goods with minimal cone breakup and near-zero distortion.
Front-firing Aerofoil slot port
Discerning home theater aficionados demand clean bass. That's why the Klipsch RP-1600SW boasts proprietary internal geometry with an Aerofoil slot port. This design quells unwanted port turbulence, which in turn gives you squeaky-clean, crystal-clear low-frequency reproduction with near-zero distortion. What's more, this port's front-firing configuration allows for maximum placement flexibility.
High-efficiency Class D amplifier
The RP-1600SW's built-in, high-efficiency amplifier brandishes an analog preamp design that maintains the integrity of your signal path for clean, true-to-source reproduction. This amplifier boasts a Class D output stage, yielding incredible output, detail, and all-out power, but with maximum efficiency.
