The Klipsch THX-5000-LCR is a THX Ultra2 speaker designed by Klipsch for use in premium home theater systems. Like other LCR (Left, Center, Right) speakers, it is designed to function as a front or center channel, delivering powerful, accurate sound reproduction. THX Ultra2 certification ensures that this speaker meets rigorous quality standards to deliver cinematic-quality sound.
Main characteristics:
-
Construction and components :
- Two-way system with dual 5.25" (13.3 cm) woofers with Ceramicallic cones for deep bass and low distortion.
- 1" (2.5 cm) titanium dome compression tweeter mated to a 10" x 6" (90° x 60°) Tractrix horn. Horn technology improves efficiency and controls high frequency dispersion.
- The MDF cabinet has a closed design (without a bass reflex), which makes it universal for wall mounting or placement in limited spaces.
- Professionally assembled using dado and rabbet joints for increased strength.
-
Technical parameters :
- Frequency range: 80 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB).
- Sensitivity: 94dB @ 2.83V/1m - slightly lower than some other THX models, but still effective enough for most amplifiers.
- Nominal resistance: 8 Ohm.
- Power: 100W RMS (continuous), up to 400W peak.
- Crossover frequency: 1500 Hz.
-
Installation features :
- The closed housing allows the speaker to be placed close to a wall or built into furniture without losing sound quality, making it suitable for compact systems.
- The rear panel has 1/4"-20 threaded holes for mounting on brackets (such as Omni-Mount or Klipsch SB-9 compatible).
- Can be used horizontally (as a center channel) or vertically (as a left/right channel).
-
Purpose and sound :
- Designed for medium to large home theaters where accurate reproduction of dialogue, music and effects is required.
- Featuring Tractrix horn technology and THX Ultra2 certification, the THX-5000-LCR delivers clear, detailed sound with a wide soundstage that's ideal for movies and multi-channel music.
- Suitable for systems where the bass is enhanced by a separate subwoofer (the lower limit of 80 Hz suggests the presence of a full-range subwoofer).
-
Design :
- Finished in Galaxy Black with an aluminum front panel for a modern and understated look.
- Dimensions: 31.8 cm (height) x 41.9 cm (width) x 21.6 cm (depth), weight - about 11.8 kg.
Advantages:
-
Versatility : Can be used as either front or center channel, making it a flexible solution for a variety of configurations.
-
Compact : Sealed enclosure and smaller size (compared to THX-6000-LCR) make installation in tight spaces easier.
-
Sound Quality : High fidelity and power combined with THX certification provide professional-grade sound.
-
