Klipsch PRO-14RW In-Wall Speaker (Each) at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The PRO-14RW is a 2-way in-wall speaker from Klipsch (Indianapolis, Indiana, USA), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Part of Klipsch's Professional Series Reference architectural lineup, it is the smallest-footprint speaker in the range, engineered to bring Klipsch Reference acoustics to installations where wall space, cutout size, or structural constraints prevent the use of larger in-wall options. A 4" Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) Woofer paired with a 1" Fixed Aluminum Dome Tweeter mated to a 90° x 90° ABS Tractrix Horn delivers a measured frequency response of 90Hz to 23kHz (+/-3dB) at 88dB sensitivity and 8 ohms, with 30W RMS and 120W peak power handling. The compact 8.2" x 5.2" drywall cutout and 3.3" mounting depth make the PRO-14RW one of the shallowest and most space-efficient in-wall speakers in the Klipsch Professional Series lineup. The Skyhook patented tool-free installation system automatically engages the dog legs when the module is inserted into the cutout hole, reducing installation time by up to 75%. Both square and round bezel-free magnetic paintable grilles and a magnetic PVC paint shield are all included in the box.

True Reference Acoustics in a Minimal Footprint Package

The PRO-14RW draws from the same acoustic components and horn design as the Klipsch Reference box speaker series, bringing Reference-grade sound to installations that cannot accommodate larger in-wall speakers. At 8.2" x 5.2" cutout and 3.3" mounting depth, the PRO-14RW is suitable for narrow stud bays, shallow wall cavities, installation in retrofit walls where larger cutouts are not feasible, and secondary audio zones where a minimal wall presence is aesthetically preferred. The 4" IMG woofer uses graphite fiber and polymer injection molding to produce a cone with good stiffness and damping relative to its mass, maintaining accurate bass and midrange reproduction from 90Hz through the Tractrix horn crossover point. The 1" fixed aluminum dome tweeter mated to a 90° x 90° ABS Tractrix horn focuses high-frequency energy into the listening area with horn-loading efficiency, delivering the controlled directivity and extended high-frequency response characteristic of the Klipsch Reference series in a driver package scaled to the compact cabinet. At 88dB sensitivity and 8 ohms, the PRO-14RW is well within the operating range of any modern AV receiver or multi-zone distribution amplifier at the 30W RMS power level the speaker requires.

Skyhook Tool-Free Installation and Bezel-Free Grilles

The Klipsch Skyhook patented installation system used on the PRO-14RW automatically engages the mounting dog legs with a factory-preset clamping force the moment the speaker module is inserted into the 8.2" x 5.2" drywall cutout, with no screwdriver, drill, or hand-tightening required. This fully automatic engagement eliminates overtorquing as a failure mode and reduces installation time by up to 75% compared to conventional dog-leg mounting. In multi-room distributed audio projects where many speakers must be installed in a session, this time saving compounds significantly across the total installation. The module is then fastened to the bezel with machine screws rather than drywall screws for a mechanically stiffer and more acoustically stable final connection. Both a square and a round bezel-free powercoated magnetic steel grille are included in the box, giving the installer visual profile flexibility to suit the room's architectural character without requiring a separate accessory purchase. A magnetic PVC paint shield is also included for protecting the 4" IMG cone and tweeter during wall painting or construction renovation work.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Klipsch PRO-14RW?

The Klipsch PRO-14RW is a 2-way in-wall speaker from Klipsch's Professional Series Reference architectural lineup, featuring a 4" Injection Molded Graphite woofer and a 1" fixed aluminum dome tweeter mated to a 90° x 90° ABS Tractrix horn. It delivers a frequency response of 90Hz to 23kHz at 88dB sensitivity and 8 ohms, handling 30W RMS and 120W peak, in the most compact cutout footprint of the Klipsch Professional Series in-wall lineup at 8.2" x 5.2" and 3.3" mounting depth. The Skyhook tool-free installation system, both square and round bezel-free magnetic paintable grilles, and a magnetic PVC paint shield are all included in the box.

How does the Klipsch PRO-14RW compare to the PRO-16RW and the PRO-24RW LCR?

The Klipsch PRO-14RW, PRO-16RW, and PRO-24RW LCR all draw from the Klipsch Reference acoustic series but differ in driver size, cutout footprint, and specific capabilities. The PRO-14RW is the smallest of the three, with a 4" IMG woofer, 8.2" x 5.2" cutout, 90Hz lower extension, and 88dB sensitivity, designed for minimal footprint applications. The PRO-16RW steps up to a 6.5" IMG woofer in a 13" x 8" cutout, reaching 63Hz with 93dB sensitivity and adding Controlled Dispersion Technology for multi-axis tweeter aiming. The PRO-24RW LCR uses dual 4" IMG woofers in a 12.5" x 5.4" cutout at 4-ohm impedance, optimized for LCR home theater installations at similar modest footprint. The PRO-14RW is specifically the right choice when neither the 6.5" nor the dual-4" cutout dimensions can be accommodated in the wall.

Does the Klipsch PRO-14RW need a subwoofer?

Yes, in home theater and high-fidelity music applications, pairing the PRO-14RW with a dedicated subwoofer is strongly recommended. The 90Hz lower frequency extension means the PRO-14RW does not reproduce bass below that point, and an AV receiver's bass management should redirect content below 90Hz to a subwoofer output for proper full-range reproduction. In distributed audio zones used for background music at moderate listening levels, the 90Hz extension can be acceptable without a subwoofer depending on the music content and listening expectations of the space. The PRO-14RW is best understood as a satellite speaker in any system where full-range bass reproduction is a priority.

What applications is the Klipsch PRO-14RW best suited for?

The Klipsch PRO-14RW is best suited for secondary distributed audio zones where the wall space, stud bay dimensions, or mounting depth available does not permit a larger in-wall speaker. Specific applications include retrofit installations in existing walls with limited wall cavity depth, installation in narrow wall segments between windows or doors where standard cutout widths cannot be accommodated, secondary audio zones in bathrooms, closets, or small utility rooms, and installations where matching the grille opening size to small architectural features such as narrow trim panels or shallow niches is a design priority. In each case, the PRO-14RW provides Klipsch Reference acoustic character within a physical constraint that eliminates the larger Professional Series options.

What amplifier is compatible with the Klipsch PRO-14RW?

The Klipsch PRO-14RW is compatible with any amplifier capable of stable 8-ohm operation. It handles 30W RMS and 120W peak per channel, and its 88dB sensitivity allows it to produce background to moderate listening levels from very modest per-channel power. Multi-zone distribution amplifiers with 20W to 50W per channel at 8 ohms are entirely adequate for whole-home audio applications with the PRO-14RW. Any modern AV receiver or home theater receiver rated at 50W or more per channel at 8 ohms will also drive the PRO-14RW without difficulty in home theater supplementary channel positions.

Where can I buy the Klipsch PRO-14RW in Toronto or Canada?

The Klipsch PRO-14RW In-Wall Speaker is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Klipsch dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the complete Klipsch Professional Series Reference architectural speaker lineup and can advise on system configuration, zone planning, amplifier matching, and installation accessory selection including the optional IK-400-W installation kit for new construction and retrofit projects across the Toronto area and across Canada.

Why are both a square and a round grille included with the PRO-14RW?

Klipsch includes both a square and a round bezel-free magnetic grille with the PRO-14RW to provide visual profile flexibility without requiring a separate accessory purchase. Given the PRO-14RW's compact 8.2" x 5.2" footprint, its grille opening is similar in size to recessed down-can lighting fixtures, making the round grille an especially natural visual integration choice in rooms where the speaker is installed near ceiling lighting or other circular architectural elements. The square grille suits installations in more architectural environments where rectangular forms are preferred. Both grilles are powercoated steel, paintable with standard interior wall paint, and attach magnetically without visible clips, frames, or screws.

Can the PRO-14RW replace a smaller existing in-wall speaker?

The PRO-14RW's 8.2" x 5.2" cutout may be larger than some very small in-wall speakers, so the existing cutout dimensions should be verified before assuming the PRO-14RW can be used as a direct retrofit replacement without enlarging the opening. For existing 8" x 5" or similar cutouts in walls, the PRO-14RW is likely compatible. The 3.3" mounting depth must also be verified against the available wall cavity depth. Where the existing cutout is smaller than 8.2" x 5.2", the wall opening will need to be enlarged to accommodate the PRO-14RW, which is a straightforward drywall cutting task with the included template or the optional IK-400-W installation kit template.
