Klipsch Launches R-40PM & R-50PM Powered Speakers

Klipsch's R-40PM and R-50PM join the passive R-40M and R-50M in the US maker's recharged Reference speaker series, offering improved performance over the outgoing models and extensive connectivity, including a phono stage.

Klipsch's new powered speakers build on the outgoing R-41PM and R-51PM, with the R-40PM and R-50PM boasting improved skills in the bass department thanks to increased cabinet depths, as we're told they can reach down to 60Hz and 55Hz, respectively. Furthermore, a Dynamic Bass Equalizer "optimises bass performance in real-time, ensuring perfect bass regardless of the volume level."

Output is not too shabby either, with Klipsch stating the R-40 pushes out 70W of total system power, and the R-50 promises to pin your ears back with its 120W. Best of all, as these are powered speakers, neither require an additional external amplifier.

Just plug the master into a suitable power outlet and join the other speaker to it using the supplied cable, and you have your hi-fi system ready to just add sources.

Speaking of sources, the R-40PM and R-50PM offer various connectivity options, including USB and Optical for digital inputs and a 3.5mm Aux and stereo RCA which doubles up as a phono stage for all you vinylistas. Finally, there is Bluetooth for wireless streaming.

Being members of the Reference line, these new powered monitors feature premium drivers alongside the latest larger edge-to-edge proprietary Tractrix horn design that provides improved coverage, bandwidth, and directivity control. The R-40PM is loaded with a 100mm spun copper, thermoformed crystal polymer (TCP) woofer and a 25mm linear travel suspension (LTS) aluminium tweeter, while the R-50PM has a 130mm TCP woofer and the same 25mm LTS tweeter.

The Klipsch R-40PM are available now and sell in North America for USD $499. The R-50PM will be available late-August and will sell for USD $599.
