Klipsch RP-1600CSW 16-Inch Reference Premiere Subwoofer

Klipsch RP-1600CSW 16-Inch Reference Premiere Subwoofer

The Klipsch RP-1600CSW is a powered subwoofer from the Reference Premiere line, built to enhance your stereo or home theatre system with powerful, deep low-end bass. It pairs a 16-inch Ultra Long Throw Cerametallic driver with a Class D amplifier and a bass-reflex enclosure with a front-firing Aerofoil slot port, combining high efficiency, control, and flexible room placement. It is ideal where you want both a striking low-frequency foundation for movies and a solid complement to your speakers for music. Available now at Vinyl Sound Canada.

16-inch Ultra Long Throw Cerametallic driver

The RP-1600CSW is driven by a front-firing 16-inch Ultra Long Throw Cerametallic woofer. The lightweight, rigid Cerametallic cone supports clean low-frequency reproduction while limiting distortion, even during the driver's largest excursions, for deep, powerful, controlled bass.

Class D amplifier with analog preamp

The built-in high-efficiency Class D amplifier uses an analog preamplifier stage to maintain a clean signal path. It delivers 800 watts RMS and 1600 watts peak, with a frequency response of 15 to 150 Hz plus/minus 3 dB and a maximum output of 126 dB for effortless, room-shaking bass in the largest spaces.

Bass-reflex design with front-firing Aerofoil port

The MDF enclosure uses a bass-reflex design with a front-firing slotted Aerofoil port, whose internal geometry is designed to reduce airflow noise and support clean bass. Because the port fires forward rather than to the rear, the subwoofer is easier to position flexibly in your room.

Flexible connectivity and controls

Two line-level / LFE RCA inputs connect the RP-1600CSW to a home theatre receiver, amplifier, or any electronics with a subwoofer output, and a WA-2 port supports the optional Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit for cable-free placement. The wired and wireless inputs can be used at the same time, so a single subwoofer can serve multiple systems in one room. A low-pass crossover and variable phase control tune the bass to your speakers and room acoustics, and a 1/2-watt standby mode keeps energy use low.

Premium design

The MDF cabinet is wrapped in a scratch-resistant, wood-inspired black Ebony Vinyl finish. Rounded corners, vibration-damping rubber feet, steel grille posts, and a woven fabric grille complete a cohesive, premium look and feel.
