Introduction - Krix MX-10 Installation Manual

Krix have been providing audio solutions for
commercial cinemas for over 35 years, with
loudspeakers being installed in over 3,000
cinemas in more than 30 countries worldwide.
A large part of the success Krix has enjoyed
in the commercial cinema market is due to
the development of the infinite baffle wall
concept.
The infinite baffle wall concept provides
a solid wall or half space that is continuous
with the speaker front baffles. This alleviates
any sound leakage into the space behind
the screen, which can affect sound clarity
by mixing reflected sound with direct sound
from the loudspeakers.
Krix has also undertaken
research and development on horn loaded

loudspeakers and waveguides to determine
their effect on efficiency, directivity and low
distortion characteristics. This research has
resulted in several Krix patents in the area
of constant directivity horns and places Krix
as a leader in technology and design in the
cinema audio industry.
Both the infinite baffle wall and horn design
technologies have
combined in our Series MX range of dedicated
home cinema loudspeaker systems. They are
designed to be flush mounted into a false
wall, with an acoustically transparent screen
placed over the front, replicating the concept
of a commercial cinema. The Series MX
modular systems feature the left, centre and
extensive
right screen loudspeaker modules and two
passive subwoofer modules, all the same
height and depth.
This modular concept not only simplifies
the design and construction of the false wall
at the front of the home cinema, but also
minimises the depth required from the room.
The front baffle of each module is covered
with an acoustic absorbent material to absorb
been successfully any sound reflecting off the back of the
screen or the room itself. This assists greatly
with the acoustic treatment of the room to
ensure better intelligibility and overall sound
performance.
The Series MX range delivers the visual
experience and dynamic impact of real
cinema at home.
