Klipsch

Our take on the Klipsch R-5650-S

Get thrilling surround sound without loading your room with big, bulky speakers. The Klipsch® R-5650-S speaker features a hideaway in-wall design and a grille you can paint to match your room's color scheme. Use this speaker as part of a full Klipsch surround sound system to enjoy clear, crisp wraparound effects from your favorite movies.

A rigid anodized aluminum woofer produces strong, accurate bass and mid-bass. Two vertically stacked tweeters point in opposite directions. This clever design disperses ambient surround effects across a wide arc, for a diffuse soundfield that completely envelops the listener. It also allows this speaker to deliver great sound even if you place it in a less-than-ideal location.

Horn technology for dynamic performance
Because high-frequency sounds are more directional than bass frequencies, it's especially important to target them right toward your ears. Klipsch places their titanium tweeters inside a flared opening, known as a "horn," which disperses the highs evenly across your listening area. This design brings out details in everything you listen to, while reducing reflections that can color the sound. The horn also improves dynamics and efficiency, for powerful, "front row" sound that remains crystal-clear at all volume levels.

An optional in-wall bracket is recommended for installing the R-5650-S in new construction.

    Features

    Design: The Klipsch R-5650-S in-wall speaker is designed specifically for surround use in home theater applications. Its unique, patent-pending horn array technology allows system designers to create enveloping sound fields and localized effects without disruption the home's decor. For the main left, right, and center speakers in the home theater system, the Klipsch R-5650-W is recommended.

    High Efficiency: The high-efficiency design of the Klipsch in-wall speakers allows you to get much more output than most in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. Due to the long speaker wire runs that are common in whole-house audio systems, the power coming from the amplifier is significantly reduced by the time it reaches the speakers. The 92dB efficiency of this speaker means it will play much louder at low power than other less-efficient speakers.

    Drivers: The R-5650-S is equipped with the following drivers:

    • Tweeters: The two vertically-stacked, Tractrix Horn-loaded 1" Titanium dome compression tweeters are pointed in opposite directions to maximize diffusion, clarity, and efficiency. The horn design dramatically increases efficiency by enabling the speaker to produce more output using less energy.
    • Woofer: a copper-colored 6-1/2" Cerametallic woofer

    Speaker Terminals: The speaker has a gold-plated pair of spring-loaded binding posts that can accept up to 12-gauge wire, single or dual banana plugs, or pin connectors.

    Frame: The R-5650-S has a sturdy ABS frame, which can be painted to match any decor (a clear paint mask is supplied to protect the drivers from overspray). The metal mesh grille is also paintable.

    Power Specifications Note: The manufacturer has specified the maximum power handling of this speaker as 50 watts RMS (200 W Peak). Klipsch has also published a recommended amplifier power specification as 100 watts. For the purpose of matching the speaker with the best amplifier, Crutchfield is listing the power specification as 100 watts.

    Mounting Options

    Installation: The speaker can be installed in new or existing construction. It requires a cutout diameter of 8" wide x 13" high. For new construction, purchase of the IK-650-W installation kit (item # 714IK650W) is highly recommended. For existing construction, the speaker should be installed in drywall (or other mounting surfaces) at least 3/8" thick.

    IR Knockout: A 1/2" diameter knockout panel is provided in the lower left hand corner of the speaker frame for installing an IR sensor.

    Klipsch 5650-S

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
    Crutchfield Customer Review

    The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order.

     
    A solid 5 stars in my opinion and a wonderful speaker. Fills in the missing
    sound from the back of the room. It is detailed and crisp with an ever so slight
    bright sound that is easily fixed after the cover is solidly in place by tweaking the
    receiver's FIR equalizer by just 1 or 2 dB. The build quality is typical Klipsch--
    superb.

    Highly recommend this speaker and the comparable 5800-W to anyone
    wanting very efficient, in-wall designs. Both of these speaker models voice
    perfectly with their Klipsch boxed counterparts.

    A note on installation. The Klipsch wall mount system is very easy to use--cut
    the hole per the cutout dimensions, and wire it up. If the wiring isn't there,
    Crutchfield sends a very good step by step instruction sheet on how to do it. It
    was much appreciated.
