Experience Cinematic Immersion with Krix Phonix On-Wall
The Krix Phonix On-Wall is a masterclass in dedicated surround sound engineering. For many home theatre enthusiasts, mounting a flat speaker on a side wall results in sound firing straight across the room, missing the listener entirely. The Krix Phonix On-Wall solves this acoustic hurdle by physically angling the sound toward your ears.
Derived from Krix’s legendary commercial cinema heritage, this speaker provides the “slam” and detail required for modern high-definition soundtracks. Whether you are building a traditional 5.1 system or a complex object-based theatre, the Krix Phonix On-Wall delivers a seamless, enveloping soundstage that breathes life into every movie scene.
The Revolutionary 15-Degree Angled Baffle
The standout innovation of the Krix Phonix On-Wall is its 15-degree angled front baffle. This isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it is a critical acoustic tool. By angling the drivers toward the primary listening area, the speaker minimizes unwanted wall reflections and maximizes direct sound energy.
This directivity ensures that high-frequency details—like the subtle rustle of leaves or the directional ping of sonar—are localized with pinpoint accuracy. The Krix Phonix On-Wall effectively creates a much larger “sweet spot,” ensuring every guest in your theatre enjoys the same premium audio experience.
Key Features of the Krix Phonix On-Wall
Slimline On-Wall Design
Despite its powerful output, the Krix Phonix On-Wall maintains a remarkably slim profile. It is designed to mount flush against your wall, making it an ideal choice for rooms with concrete or brick walls where in-wall cavities are impossible to create.
Heavy-Duty Timber Enclosure
Unlike mass-market plastic speakers, the Krix Phonix On-Wall is built into a fully braced, high-density timber cabinet. This rigid construction eliminates cabinet “colouration” and ensures that every watt of power is converted into pure, undistorted sound.
Professional Driver Array
The Krix Phonix On-Wall features a high-grade 165mm (6.5-inch) bass/mid driver and a 26mm dual concentric diaphragm tweeter. This combination allows for massive dynamic range and high power handling, perfect for the intense peaks of modern action films.
High-Fidelity Audio Engineering
The crossover network inside the Krix Phonix On-Wall is a work of art. Utilizing professional-grade components, it ensures a perfectly smooth transition between the bass and treble frequencies. This result is a natural, balanced sound that remains comfortable even at high “reference” volumes.
The dual concentric diaphragm tweeter provides a wider frequency response than standard dome tweeters. This allows the Krix Phonix On-Wall to reproduce the high-frequency harmonics found in high-resolution audio formats, adding a layer of realism that few architectural speakers can match.
Versatile Placement for Surround & Atmos
While originally designed as a side or rear surround, the Krix Phonix On-Wall is incredibly versatile. Its angled design makes it an exceptional choice for:
-
- Side Surrounds: Aimed directly at the listener for better localized effects.
- Rear Surrounds: Mounted on the back wall to fill the rear soundstage.
- Front Heights: Used above the main LCRs to add vertical dimension to the soundstage.
