1. The Power of the Krix Megaphonix In-Room
When you step into a high-end commercial cinema, you feel the sound as much as you hear it. The Krix Megaphonix In-Room was designed to replicate that physical impact. As part of Krix’s dedicated home cinema range, this speaker is not designed for background music—it is designed for the high-intensity requirements of modern Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks.
Built with a high-power 255mm (10-inch) bass driver, the Krix Megaphonix In-Room delivers a mid-bass punch that most home speakers simply cannot match. It bridges the gap between traditional Hi-Fi and commercial cinema technology.
2. Key Features of the Krix Megaphonix In-Room
The Krix Megaphonix In-Room stands out due to its specific engineering:
- High Sensitivity: At 95dB, it produces massive volume with very little amplifier strain.
- Massive Bass Driver: A 255mm (10″) paper cone driver with a 50mm voice coil.
- Optimized Dispersion: A proprietary 90 x 40 degree horn for precise sound placement.
- Compact Depth: Despite its power, the cabinet is only 250mm deep, fitting easily behind screens.
- Timber Construction: A fully braced cabinet finished in a professional “Cinema Black” finish.
3. The Technology Behind the Horn
The heart of the Krix Megaphonix In-Room is the Krix proprietary short-throw waveguide. In a home theatre, room reflections can muddy the sound. The horn technology in the Krix Megaphonix In-Room controls where the sound goes, directing high frequencies toward the seating area and away from the floor and ceiling.
This results in pinpoint imaging. You won’t just hear an airplane flying across the screen; you will be able to track its exact path through the room with surgical precision.
4. In-Room vs. In-Wall: Why Choose the In-Room Model?
While Krix offers hidden solutions, the Krix Megaphonix In-Room is preferred by enthusiasts who want the acoustic benefits of a dedicated cabinet. A timber enclosure is meticulously braced to eliminate resonance. This ensures that the only thing you hear is the driver, not the vibration of the speaker box.
Choosing the Krix Megaphonix In-Room also allows for easier servicing and placement adjustments if you decide to reconfigure your theatre room in the future.
5. Perfect Applications for Your Home Theatre
Where does the Krix Megaphonix In-Room shine best?
- Front LCR: Use three units behind an acoustically transparent screen for a seamless wall of sound.
- High-Output Surrounds: Because of its high SPL (Sound Pressure Level) capabilities, it is perfect for large rooms where standard surround speakers fail to keep up.
- Commercial Applications: Suitable for small commercial cinemas or screening rooms.
6. Technical Specifications
The Krix Megaphonix In-Room is built for extreme performance:

7. Why Choose Krix Audio?
Krix is a world-leader in cinema sound. When you buy a Krix Megaphonix In-Room, you are benefiting from 40+ years of research and development. Krix speakers are installed in over 4,000 commercial cinemas globally. The Krix Megaphonix In-Room brings that professional heritage directly into your home.
8. Installation & Pairing Recommendations
To maximize the Krix Megaphonix In-Room, we recommend:
- Amplification: Use a high-quality power amplifier to take advantage of the 250W power handling.
- Acoustic Treatment: Even with controlled dispersion, treating your “first reflection points” will enhance the Krix Megaphonix In-Room experience.
- Crossover: Set your processor to 60Hz or 80Hz to allow a dedicated subwoofer to handle the sub-bass frequencies.
9.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the Krix Megaphonix In-Room as a surround speaker?
Yes! Because of its high output and controlled dispersion, the Krix Megaphonix In-Room is an excellent choice for side or rear surround channels in large dedicated theatres.
Do I need a subwoofer with these speakers?
While the Krix Megaphonix In-Room has excellent mid-bass, a dedicated subwoofer (like the Krix Cyclonix) is required for the dedicated LFE channel in movies to reach those ultra-low 20Hz frequencies.
Is the grille included?
The Krix Megaphonix In-Room typically comes with a black cloth magnetic grille, though many enthusiasts prefer to leave them off when installed behind a screen.
