Evolution of Excellence: The Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular
The Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular is the latest evolution in the world-renowned Series MX range. Built upon the success of the original MX-20, the Mk2 version offers refined crossovers and enhanced driver integration to ensure an even more seamless audio experience.
Designed specifically for medium-to-large dedicated cinema rooms, the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular fills the space with effortless, high-fidelity sound that mimics the grandest commercial movie houses.
Key Technical Features & Specifications
What makes the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular the ultimate choice for enthusiasts? It’s a combination of massive displacement and surgical precision.
Advanced LCR Performance
The three LCR (Left, Centre, Right) modules of the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular feature a 255mm (10″) mid-bass driver. This is paired with a 25mm fabric dome tweeter and a 90° x 40° waveguide. This specific configuration ensures that the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular provides controlled directivity, focusing the sound exactly where your audience is sitting.
Thunderous Low-End Response
At the heart of the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular are two massive 305mm (12″) subwoofers. These units are designed for high-excursion and low-distortion, allowing you to feel the low-frequency effects (LFE) of modern blockbuster films right in your chest.
The Modular Advantage for Custom Theatres
The “Modular” designation is key to the versatility of the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular. Unlike fixed-width systems, these five separate modules allow for customized spacing.
Whether you are using an extra-wide 2.40:1 CinemaScope screen or a standard 16:9 display, the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular can be positioned to perfectly align with the visual action. This modularity also makes the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular easier to transport and install in tight room environments.
Infinite Baffle Technology: The Krix Secret
A hallmark of the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular is the use of the “Infinite Baffle” wall concept. Krix pioneered this in commercial cinemas to eliminate sound waves wrapping around the speaker cabinet.
The front baffle of each Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular unit is covered in high-quality acoustic absorbent material. When placed against a false wall, it creates a solid plane of sound, significantly increasing efficiency and ensuring that every watt of power from your amplifier is converted into pure cinematic energy.
Performance: What to Expect from 12-Inch Subwoofers
When you fire up the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular, the first thing you’ll notice is the headroom. In a room 5 to 8 metres deep, the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular remains composed even at reference-level volumes.
The 12-inch subwoofers provide a layer of “physical” sound—the tactile punch of an explosion or the deep thrum of a spaceship—that smaller systems simply cannot replicate.
Installation and Room Calibration Tips
To maximize the performance of your Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular, follow these professional installation guidelines:
- Cavity Depth: Ensure your wall cavity is at least 300mm deep to accommodate the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular and necessary cabling.
- Acoustically Transparent Screen: For the best results, pair the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular with a woven or perforated screen to allow the audio to pass through without high-frequency attenuation.
- Subwoofer Power: We recommend a dedicated subwoofer amplifier, such as the Krix KA-1100, to drive the twin 12″ modules of the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Mk2 different from the original MX-20?
The Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular features updated crossover components and improved cabinet bracing, resulting in a smoother transition between the mid-bass and the tweeter for better dialogue clarity.
Do I need a professional to install the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular?
While a savvy DIYer can handle the physical placement, we recommend a professional calibrator to fine-tune the Krix MX-20 Mk2 Modular with your room’s acoustics for the best possible performance.
