This is the matte black Klipsch RP-440D SB, a passive three-channel sound bar that combines your front left, center, and right speakers into a single wall-mountable cabinet — powered by your own home theater receiver, not a built-in amplifier.
The Klipsch RP-440D SB packs Klipsch’s signature Reference Premiere sound into a sleek, space-saving wall-mountable speaker. It’s a passive sound bar, meaning it takes the place of your front left, center, and right channels in a traditional home theater setup — all three combined into one cabinet, powered by your own AV receiver rather than a built-in amplifier. It’s a great option for anyone who wants a simple, clean-looking front soundstage without three separate speaker cabinets.
Klipsch famously mounts its tweeters inside a flared horn opening to control how sound waves project into your room, for crisp, focused highs. The three 90° x 90° Tractrix® horns in the RP-440D SB — one per channel — pair with four 3-1/2" spun-copper Cerametallic™ woofers (one left, one right, two center) for a wide “sweet spot” and precise placement of dialogue and effects across an expansive front soundstage.
Four-way keyhole slots let you wall-mount the RP-440D SB under a TV for a low-profile look, or you can set it on an entertainment cabinet using the included glass base with the magnetic grille removed. Either way, it connects to your receiver’s front three channels using three separate sets of binding posts.
Since the RP-440D SB is passive, plan on a home theater receiver with enough channels and power to drive it. For a matching surround setup, ask us about pairing it with Klipsch on-wall surrounds and a powered subwoofer for a complete, low-profile system.
I’d invite you to book an appointment at our Ottawa showroom to hear the RP-440D SB and see how it compares to a traditional three-speaker front setup from the Klipsch Reference Premiere II lineup, so you can decide which layout suits your room. Our team also handles amplifier matching, professional installation, and delivery anywhere in Canada.
No — it’s a fully passive speaker and requires a home theater receiver or external amplifier with three available channels to power it.
Yes. Ask us about matching Klipsch on-wall surrounds and a powered subwoofer to build out a complete, low-profile home theater system around the RP-440D SB.
3-Channel Passive LCR Soundbar Speaker: The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-440D SB is a 3-channel passive LCR soundbar speaker. It combines the three front channels (Left/Center/Right) into a single speaker cabinet - featuring three horn-loaded 1" titanium dome Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) tweeters and four 3.5" copper-spun Cerametallic woofers.
Horn-Loaded Tweeter: The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-440D SB features proprietary Tractrix Horn technology coupled with a Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) titanium tweeter to produce clean, natural high frequencies.
Spun-Copper Cerametallic Woofers: The four 3.5" woofers of the RP-440D SB passive soundbar speaker features Klipsch's distinctive, spun-copper Cerametallic material. Made with an anodized aluminum, this cone is strong and dent resistant. The anodizing process converts its inner and outer surfaces to ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer's operating range. The woofers also employ a rubber surround for added durability.
Bass Reflex Enclosure: The horn-loaded tweeters and spun-copper Cerametallic woofers are housed in a bass reflex enclosure with three down-firing ports for greater efficiency and better bass performance. The speaker enclosure is made of ABS and features a matte black painted finish.
Wrap-Around Magnetic Grille: The Klipsch Reference Premiere series RP-440D SB passive soundbar speaker comes with a removable, wrap-around cloth magnetic grille which easily snaps into place over the ABS enclosure.
Spring-Post Terminals: The RP-440D SB is equipped with a set of spring-post terminals for each channel to connect to your AV receiver's Front Left, Front Right, and Center speaker output terminals. These spring-post terminals will accept bare speaker wire from 16AWG to 12AWG. Due to the position of the spring-post terminals they will not accept banana plugs or pin-connectors.
Mounting Options: The RP-440D SB passive soundbar speaker can be mounted horizontally on a wall or table-top. The included wall-bracket and dual four-way keyhole slots allow for easy, tight-to-the-wall mounting (mounting screws not included). The included glass base provides a table-top solution for placing the speaker on a stand, table, or shelf (the base attaches to the speaker using the two included screws).
