The Evolution of the Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall
The Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall represents the pinnacle of specialized cinema audio. Most on-wall speakers fire sound directly forward, which is rarely ideal for surround or height channels. Krix addressed this by engineering a speaker that understands room geometry.
By angling the drivers at 45 degrees, the Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall provides a mechanical solution to acoustic challenges. It is designed to sit high on walls or at the ceiling junction, providing the “overhead” sensation required for modern 3D audio formats like DTS:X and Dolby Atmos.
Why the 45-Degree Angled Baffle is a Game Changer
The standout feature of the Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall is its fixed-angle internal baffle. In a dedicated theatre, you want sound to be directed at your ears, not over your head.
With the Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall, the high frequencies are aimed perfectly at the primary listening position. This ensures:
- Enhanced Clarity: Direct sound reaches you before reflections, improving dialogue and detail.
- Precise Imaging: Sounds “object-place” exactly where the director intended.
- Cleaner Aesthetics: No need for ugly, protruding swivel brackets that ruin the room’s look.
Unmatched Performance: Drivers and Engineering
At the heart of the Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall is a high-performance 165mm (6.5-inch) bass driver. This driver features a 33mm voice coil and a non-resonant paper cone, delivering mid-bass that is both punchy and articulate.
Complementing the bass is a 26mm dual concentric diaphragm tweeter. This isn’t your standard dome tweeter; it is designed for high power handling and low distortion even at “reference” volume levels. Together, they make the Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall a powerhouse in any surround sound configuration.
Versatile Placement for Immersive Audio
The Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall is one of the most flexible speakers in the Krix lineup. Because of its angled face, it can be utilized in several ways to enhance your soundstage:
- Front Heights: Positioned above the screen to add vertical scale to your front soundstage.
- Side/Rear Surrounds: Mounted high on walls to clear headrests and fire down at the audience.
- Atmos Ceiling/Wall Junction: Perfect for rooms where in-ceiling installation is impossible due to concrete slabs or HVAC ducting.
Design and Build Quality
Durability meets elegance with the Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall. The cabinet is constructed from high-density timber, which is heavily braced to eliminate internal standing waves. This ensures the Krix Hyperphonix 45 On-Wall remains acoustically inert, preventing cabinet “coloration” of the sound.
The “Cinema Black” finish is designed to be low-sheen. This is critical in a darkened room with a projector, as it prevents light reflections from distracting you during the movie.
