The Power of the Krix Megaphonix On-Wall
The Krix Megaphonix On-Wall represents a major breakthrough in architectural audio for high-end home theatres. Traditionally, achieving high Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) required massive cabinets or complex in-wall installations. Krix has challenged this by distilling their world-renowned commercial cinema expertise into a sleek, on-wall format.
This speaker is designed for enthusiasts who want their audio to have the same “slam” and authority found in professional screening rooms. By mounting the Krix Megaphonix On-Wall directly to your wall, you eliminate the need for structural modifications while gaining an audio performance that far exceeds standard residential speakers.
Revolutionary 15-Degree Angled Baffle Design
The standout innovation of the Krix Megaphonix On-Wall is its 15-degree angled front baffle. Most on-wall speakers fire sound straight across the room, which can lead to a loss of detail and imaging for listeners seated off-axis.
The Krix Megaphonix On-Wall physically angles its high-performance drivers toward the primary listening area. This mechanical alignment ensures that:
-
- Pinpoint Clarity: High frequencies are aimed directly at your ears.
- Reduced Reflections: Minimizes sound bouncing off side walls.
- Immersive Soundstage: Creates a cohesive “bubble” of sound in surround and Atmos setups.
Key Features of the Krix Megaphonix On-Wall
Professional Compression Driver
At the heart of the Krix Megaphonix On-Wall is a professional-grade compression driver coupled to a constant directivity horn. This technology is what gives the speaker its incredible efficiency and the ability to reproduce clean sound even at extreme volumes.
High-Power 255mm Bass Driver
The Krix Megaphonix On-Wall features a massive 255mm (10-inch) bass driver with a 50mm voice coil. This allows for effortless mid-bass impact, ensuring that explosions, percussion, and deep male vocals have the physical presence intended by the director.
Fully Braced Timber Cabinet
Unlike plastic-moulded speakers, the Krix Megaphonix On-Wall is built into a heavy-duty, timber-braced enclosure. This rigid construction prevents cabinet resonance, ensuring the sound remains tight and uncoloured during high-intensity scenes.
Acoustic Engineering and Professional Components
The Krix Megaphonix On-Wall is a true high-efficiency speaker with a sensitivity rating of 95dB. This high sensitivity means that even at lower amplifier power, the speaker produces significant volume with massive headroom. It is the ultimate choice for high-end AV receivers and dedicated power amplifiers alike.
Krix engineers have meticulously tuned the crossover network to ensure a seamless transition between the compression driver and the large bass driver. This ensures that the Krix Megaphonix On-Wall remains musical and balanced, making it just as capable of high-fidelity music playback as it is for blockbuster movie soundtracks.
Installation and Room Versatility
One of the greatest advantages of the Krix Megaphonix On-Wall is its installation flexibility. Because it features a dedicated, factory-tuned cabinet, its performance is consistent regardless of the wall material (brick, concrete, or timber stud).
- LCR Use: Use three units for the Left, Centre, and Right channels for a perfectly timbre-matched front stage.
- Surround & Atmos: Mount high on walls to fire sound down into the seating area.
- Aesthetic Integration: The “Cinema Black” finish and black cloth grille allow it to disappear in a darkened theatre room.
