Feel The Infrasonic Difference

The MX-40i builds on the legacy of Krix’s award-winning MX-40, delivering even greater low-frequency power and extension. While the left, centre and right speaker modules remain unchanged, the MX-40i features new high-performance subwoofer modules, engineered for true infrasonic reproduction with exceptional control, output and realism. Infrasonic performance refers to extremely low frequencies, often below the audible range, that you feel rather than hear.

The Next Generation of Krix Series MX

The latest Series MX speakers have been upgraded to deliver clearer sound, deeper bass and an even more immersive cinema experience at home.

The MX-30i and MX-40i keep their original left, centre and right speakers, but now include powerful new subwoofer modules designed to produce extremely deep, tactile bass you can feel as much as hear.

Infra-bass performance

Reproduces extremely low frequency sounds to create a tactile audio experience that you can feel.

Reversible sub design

Dual terminals allow the subwoofer cabinets to be oriented up or down, ensuring flexibility for any room layout.

Modular design

The MX-40i features five modules, all of which are the same height and slim-line depth for easy installation into one cavity.

Patented horn technology

High frequencies are handled by the Krix patented 90 by 40-degree short throw horn, driven by a high frequency compression driver.

Australian made

Krix has proudly engineered and manufactured speakers in Australia since 1974.

[Optional] MXi-118 Optional Extra Subwoofer Module

Additional matching 18" subwoofers (MXi-118 Infrasonic Subwoofer Module) can be purchased to extend low-frequency performance across multiple room locations - such as the rear wall - while optional spacer modules are also available for flexible installation.

Modular System

In a commercial cinema, sound is heard but not seen, with a wall of speakers driving the dynamic soundtrack directly through the big screen for the ultimate sound experience.

As leading developers of commercial cinema speakers, Krix delivers the cinema sound experience to your home cinema with Series MX. These unique modular behind-screen speaker systems, designed to be installed behind an acoustically transparent screen, will conceal everything but the cinema quality sound.

Combined with matching surround speakers, Series MX truly delivers the excitement, presence and impact of real cinema, at home.

The Krix Infinite Baffle Wall, which has been installed in commercial cinemas since the early 1980s, is also replicated in the MX series. The thick, acoustic absorption material on the front baffle of the speakers minimises reflections and prevents sound leakage behind the screen, for a high energy sound you can feel. For large or cinemascope screens, Krix’s optional low frequency absorption spacer modules can be used in pairs to ensure a wide, realistic soundstage.

Easy To Install

These speaker systems are designed to be installed behind an acoustically transparent screen, just like the speakers in a commercial cinema. They create a wall of sound directly from the picture, so everyone gets the full movie experience and impact. The five speaker modules (left, centre, right and two subwoofers) in each system are all the same height and depth, making the design of the room and installation of the speaker system much simpler.

Control and Definition

These proprietary products have been developed by Krix over a 10 year period using powerful Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Krix patented horn technology provide exceptionally flat frequency response, precise pattern control, and very low distortion. Seamlessly coupled with the dispersion pattern of the woofer, the sound is focused on the audience and away from the walls, resulting in reduced reflections which can muddy the sound.

The specially engineered bass drivers are professional low frequency loudspeakers and offer superb bass performance, high peak program power handling and high efficiency, capable of extreme sound pressure levels. The smooth response, wide frequency and dynamic range are features not often achieved in one woofer. The bass drivers have an oversized ferrite magnet structure with components engineered to achieve maximum efficiency. Symmetrical gap geometry, combined with the large linear voice coil travel, ensures minimum distortion at all levels.
