Krix is releasing four new models this week. The Acoustix bookshelf speaker and Graphix matching centre channel are shipping now with new subwoofer versions of the Seismix 1 mk3 and Seismix 3 mk5 due around Friday 18th September.
So often of late, our customers have been seeking a front ported option of the KDX-M & KDX-C. Krix has made several custom products for these clients, but the KDX speakers were at the end of their 'life cycle' and so alternative options needed to be sought. Another major consideration as part of the upgrade path was that the KDX used an older model tweeter and as such Krix was losing some HF tonal balance especially when the KDX-C was used with the Apex or Phoenix.
The new Acoustix (mains) and Graphix (centre) solve this problem and more. The tweeter used in these two new models is the same as used in the Vortex. This tweeter is also identical to a number of other Krix products, namely the Equinox, Apex, Phoenix and Harmonix, only it is has a smaller mounting plate to enable Krix to use it in more compact designs.
The front ports are entirely Krix's design and are specially moulded to eliminate air turbulence via the port flaring at both ends and to reduce compression at high listening levels. Small and compact, the Acoustix and Graphix are the perfect choice for use in TV cabinets and custom joinery as the new front porting eliminates 'boomy' bass qualities found when using rear ported speakers in this type of application.
The Acoustix and Graphix pictured above are finished in the American Cherry real timber veneer and are also available in Black Ash, Atlantic Jarrah timber veneers as well as vinyl veneers of those same three colours. Information on the new Seismix 1 mk3 and Seismix 3 mk5 will be uploaded to the Krix web site later on this week, so stay tuned for all the details.
