Features:
Introducing the P-27C center channel, along with the entire Palladium™ Series, Klipsch has solidly established itself in the high-end luxury arena. In fact, this speaker is a pinnacle of modern-day horn-loaded technology, letting you hear and emotionally connect with your music and movies precisely as the original artist or director intended.
Designed with an eye toward home interior and furniture designs, the P-27C has a signature style that blends classic Klipsch audio and a clean, contemporary look.
The speaker’s unique enclosure hints at the power and performance inside, while maintaining a high degree of sophistication and beauty. Next to its shape, the most striking visual statement is the exotic zebra-grain Linia veneer that’s available in three different finishes: natural, merlot and espresso. The horizontal linear grain and absence of visible fasteners allows the P-27C to elegantly complement your furniture and décor.
From every angle, every perspective, the P-27C center channel is how luxury should look. It’s a treat for the senses—even before you hear it.
After just one listen, you’ll discover the P-27C represents the latest advancement in horn technology and purest application of those design principles yet.
Offering 3-way performance, the P-27C speaker shares a lot of similarities with the flagship P-39F floorstander, employing the same Tractrix® Horn-loaded midrange and super tweeter.
Our founder, Paul W. Klipsch, was an engineer, inventor, madman and certified genius. He spent his life trying to bring the world better sound. Since 1946, we have carried on our founder's passion for delivering the best home audio experience possible.
You're not buying a speaker - you're buying a piece of American audio history built on more than 70 years of badass acoustic technology.
Unique to the Palladium Series is a carbon-infused, thermoset composite dual-horn configuration. It consists of a proprietary tweeter design, combining a chambered phase plug and Tractrix® Horn for extended high-frequency response; a second 90º by 60º acoustically dampened Tractrix Horn is coupled to the midrange driver, resulting in remarkably precise and detailed performances.
For superior bass performance, the P-27C’s low-frequency driver employs dual 7-inch hybrid cone woofers, powered by a unique neodymium magnet structure. Dual ports on the rear of the speaker enhance low-distortion bass response. Each woofer’s voice coil responds accurately to the smallest signal modulation, yet can also handle the high power of the most demanding soundtracks.

PRECISE DIALOGUE PLACEMENT FOR ACCURATE, LIFELIKE PERFORMANCES
