Powerful Performance Without the Hassle
Unlike traditional passive speakers, the Klipsch R-15PM includes a built-in Class D amplifier tailored specifically for the drivers. This eliminates the need for an external amp or receiver, saving you money and simplifying your setup. Just plug in your source—whether it’s a turntable, computer, TV, or smartphone—and enjoy exceptional sound instantly.
The R-15PM offers a total system output of 100 watts, with each speaker producing 50 watts of clean, dynamic audio. This power, combined with high sensitivity and low distortion, allows these compact speakers to fill a room with immersive sound without compromising clarity.
Crystal-Clear Highs and Deep Bass
Klipsch is known for its unique horn-loaded tweeter technology, and the R-15PM continues that tradition. Each speaker features a 1-inch aluminum Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) tweeter housed in a 90° x 90° Tractrix® horn. This design provides highly efficient sound output, detailed highs, and lifelike clarity even at low volumes.
Complementing the tweeter is a 5.25-inch copper-spun Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofer. This woofer delivers tight mid-bass response and deep low-end frequencies with minimal distortion. The result is a well-balanced sound signature that works equally well for music, movies, and games.
Extensive Connectivity
The Klipsch R-15PM is built for modern versatility. It includes a wide range of inputs to connect virtually any audio source:
