The Power of the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall 

The Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall brings the raw energy of the cinema into your living space with an incredibly low profile. While the standard Phonix features an angled baffle, the “Flat” version is designed to sit parallel to the wall. This makes it the ultimate choice for side walls in narrow rooms or for use behind acoustically transparent fabrics.
By choosing the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall, you aren’t just buying a speaker; you are investing in decades of Australian research and development. This speaker is engineered to provide a seamless soundstage, ensuring that every sound effect is reproduced with startling realism and clarity.

Key Features of the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall

Ultra-Slim Cabinet Depth

The Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Its shallow cabinet allows it to mount flush against the wall, making it perfect for rooms where space is a luxury. It offers a professional “integrated” look without the need for cutting into your wall.

High-Power Handling

Don’t let the slim design fool you. The Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall is a high-performance beast. It is built to handle the massive dynamic peaks found in modern 4K Ultra HD movie soundtracks, ensuring distortion-free playback even at high volume levels.

Timber-Braced Enclosure

Unlike many on-wall speakers that use resonant plastic, the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall features a fully braced timber cabinet. This rigid construction prevents unwanted vibrations, ensuring that the sound remains tight, punchy, and accurate.

Acoustic Engineering and Driver Technology 

At the heart of the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall is a high-grade 165mm (6.5-inch) bass/mid driver. This driver is paired with a 26mm dual-concentric diaphragm tweeter, featuring a wave-guide plug for controlled directivity.
The Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall provides a smooth, flat frequency response that is specifically tuned for on-wall placement. This tuning compensates for the “boundary effect” of the wall, preventing the boomy or muddy sound common in lesser on-wall speakers.

Ideal Placement for the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall 

The versatility of the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall makes it a “Swiss Army Knife” for home theatre designers. Its flat dispersion pattern is ideal for:
  • Side Surround Channels: Mounted at ear height for a traditional surround feel.
  • Rear Surround Channels: Positioned on the back wall to complete the 360-degree sound field.
  • Front LCR Channels: If your screen is mounted close to the wall, three Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall units create a powerful, timbre-matched front stage.

Why Choose a Flat On-Wall Design? 

Choosing the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall is about more than just aesthetics. In many modern homes, brick or concrete walls prevent the use of in-wall speakers. The Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall provides a “no-compromise” alternative that delivers high-fidelity sound without structural modifications.
Furthermore, the Krix Phonix Flat On-Wall is remarkably easy to install. Using the integrated keyhole mounting system, you can have your cinema system up and running in a fraction of the time it takes for custom architectural installs.
