OverviewThe Klipsch Reference R-40SA is a Dolby Atmos® elevation speaker built to add height effects to a home theatre system. Klipsch's 90° x 90° Tractrix® horn is paired with a 1" aluminum Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) tweeter for crisp, clear highs, while a 4" spun-copper Thermoformed Crystalline Polymer (TCP) woofer handles accurate midrange and bass.Simcoe Audio Video InsightThese are genuinely versatile speakers — place them on top of a compatible floorstanding or bookshelf speaker to bounce sound off the ceiling for Dolby Atmos height effects, or wall-mount them as front, rear, or side elevation speakers. Klipsch even includes jumper wires that make it a clean, simple connection when pairing them with an R-800F or R-600F floorstanding speaker.Best for the Klipsch R-40SA: if you're adding them on top of R-800F or R-600F towers, use the included jumper wires rather than running a separate speaker wire run — it keeps the connection tidy and is exactly what Klipsch designed them for.More DetailsWhy It Wins Tractrix® Horn-Loaded Tweeter: 1" aluminum LTS tweeter on a 90° x 90° horn for detailed, controlled highs. TCP Woofer: 4" spun-copper woofer delivers accurate midrange and bass in a compact cabinet. Flexible Placement: Works on top of existing speakers or wall-mounted, as height or surround channels. What Makes It DifferentA sealed, acoustic suspension enclosure keeps bass tight and controlled, which matters for a speaker this size. Hidden fasteners and a low-profile magnetic grille keep the look clean, and the reinforced MDF cabinet with scratch-resistant, textured wood grain vinyl finish is built to last.Technical Highlights Crossover Frequency: 4,400Hz. Power Handling: 50W continuous / 200W peak. Enclosure: Sealed acoustic suspension design. Compatibility: Includes jumper wires for direct connection to Klipsch R-800F and R-600F floorstanding speakers. Buyers GuideWho This Is For The Dolby Atmos Adopter: Anyone adding height channels to an existing 5.1 or 7.1 system. The R-800F or R-600F Owner: A purpose-built match with included jumper wires for a clean setup. The Flexible Installer: Works equally well wall-mounted or stacked on existing speakers. Ideal Use Case Dolby Atmos Home Theatres: Adds overhead height effects without in-ceiling installation. Wall-Mounted Surrounds: Doubles as front, rear, or side surround channels when Atmos height isn't the priority. What To Pair It With Klipsch R-800F or R-600F Towers: The included jumper wires make this the simplest pairing. AV Receiver: Needs a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X-capable receiver with height channel outputs to use as intended. Speaker Wire: Needed for wall-mounted installs — sold separately. Alternative OptionsThe R-40SA is built to add Atmos height effects to a Klipsch Reference system. If you're assembling a full 5.1 setup first, start with the R-40M bookshelf speakers or R-30C center channel, and add the R-40SA once you're ready to bring Dolby Atmos overhead effects into the room.
