Напольная акустика — Klipsch RP-8060FA II

The RP-8060FA II is a Dolby Atmos-enabled floorstanding loudspeaker from Klipsch's second-generation Reference Premiere series. It combines the main drivers of the RP-8000F II with an up-firing elevation module built into the top of the cabinet, effectively merging a large tower and the RP-500SA II Atmos add-on speaker in a single enclosure, so one pair of speakers can provide both front and height channels.

Key specs that matter

The main section pairs the same horn-loaded 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter with two 8-inch Cerametallic cone woofers with Faraday rings, crossing over at 1,630Hz, with 35Hz to 25kHz response, 98dB sensitivity and 150W continuous / 600W peak power handling. The elevation module combines a 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter on a hybrid Tractrix horn with a 6.5-inch Cerametallic woofer in a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure, crossing over at 2kHz and handling 100W continuous / 400W peak. Both sections are rated at 8 ohms. The cabinet measures 109.5 x 27.5 x 52.8cm and weighs 34.35kg.

Engineering and use context

The top-mounted module is tuned to Dolby Atmos specifications for elevation speakers - it fires upward so its sound reflects from the ceiling and arrives at the listener from above, providing height effects without in-ceiling speakers. Using a sealed box for the module isolates it from the bass-reflex main enclosure below. The main section shares its engineering with the RP-8000F II - a 90 x 90 degree silicone composite Tractrix horn with phase plug, a vented tweeter housing to reduce standing waves, woofers with voice coils 70% larger than the previous generation and aluminium shorting rings, and dual-chamber rear-firing Tractrix ports designed for low air noise. The extra depth and roughly 6.5kg of added weight compared with the RP-8000F II come from the elevation module and its enclosure. All terminals are placed low on the rear panel, with Atmos pass-through, so the height channel is connected without cables running up the back of the speaker.

Pairing

The RP-8060FA II needs an AV receiver or processor with Dolby Atmos decoding and spare height-channel outputs, typically in a 5.1.2 or 7.1.2 layout. The ceiling reflection works best under flat ceilings of standard height. Thanks to the high main-channel sensitivity, mainstream AV receivers drive it comfortably, and the main section accepts split wiring or two amplifiers.

Alternatives

Klipsch's own RP-8000F II is the same tower without the elevation module, for stereo systems or rooms with ceiling-mounted height speakers.
