- Page 9 Brix is designed to be small in size yet big in sound, delivering detailed accuracy and stunning clarity. Versatile for any application, from compact stereo speakers, rear channel speakers in your surround sound system or for use in a second zone, Brix are ideal. The two-way bass reflex design features a 25mm textile dome tweeter and a 100mm diameter bass driver. Brix is a little speaker that will offer a dynamic experience. “What was simply stunning was the stereo imaging that’s possible with the Brix, particularly if you stand-mount them around a metre out from a rear wall. With some careful positioning, we were rewarded with sound that was almost headphone-like in its spatial treatment of the two channels.”...

- Page 13 The KDX Loudspeaker System comprises the KDX-M (main/rear) and the KDX-C (centre). Although designed primarily for a 5, 6 or 7 channel digital sound experience, the KDX system is also the basis for a high quality stereo system in a compact bookshelf design. The major focus is to provide precise timbral matching to the left, centre, right and rear channel which is achieved by using identical cabinets, dual 130mm bass drivers and 26mm tweeter for each loudspeaker. Available as pairs (KDX-M) or as a single unit (KDX-C) the digital dimension is a must to experience. “Not only do the KDX deliver the cinematic goods in exemplary style, they’re one for the cerebral music lover too.” Frequency Range Power Handling Sensitivity Configuration Bass Drivers Tweeter Crossover Point Impedance Enclosure Type Dimensions...

Krix’s centre speakers reproduce vocals and other complex information accurately, optimizing imaging and sound stage. The centre channel in your home theatre system can deliver around 70% of the action and should be of a similar sonic quality to your main speakers. For home theatre applications and music listening pleasure, a Krix centre speaker will enhance your sound experience. Krix centre speakers (excluding the Epicentrix) are magnetically shielded to allow placement close to your television.

Double magnet shielded 26mm (1”) fabric dome. Ferro fluid cooled 2.6kHz. The major focus of the KDX-M/ KDX-C system was to provide precise timbral matching to all 5 channels, by using identical cabinets, bass drivers and tweeters for each speaker. The only difference is found in the crossover network for the KDX-C, because the centre channel is horizontally aligned and placed on top of a television or in a cabinet. This creates additional low frequency for which the crossover compensates.

- Page 49 Taking on the challenge to create an unassuming high quality in-ceiling speaker, Krix presents the Atmospherix. Based on the Equinox, the Atmospherix uses the same 130mm bass driver matched with 25mm pivot tweeter housed in an enclosure for in-ceiling installation. The enclosed design maximises and controls bass response while keeping out dust and other ceiling inhabitants. Atmospherix are ideal for an out of sight home theatre experience. “With 7.1 channel systems now standard issue, a pair as centre rears positioned above and behind the couch would be perfect. Rear effects carry plenty of bass weight and substance in modern movie mixes, so if you fancy an in-ceiling design, it has to be able to reproduce the low stuff, which is something the Atmospherix do with ease.”...
