Epix Installation and Technical Drawings

Filed under: General, News, Speakers

Below are some images and details of the first Epix installation that took place here in Adelaide. Being local - this installation provided Krix engineers with the ability to 'test' out the complete workings of the design from evaluating the stud framework to plasterboard fixings and of course final fitout of the componentry.

The Krix Epix being a completely self-contained enclosure meant that even though the main wall  backed onto another living room, unwanted sound transference was virtually zero. Notice the cable management which comes in through the top of the cabinet and connects to the input terminals located behind a small 'secret' panel on the front panel. Plasterboard edging is also supplied as part of the loudspeaker to ensure ease and accuracy of finishing.

In this instance the client was looking to completely hide the speakers - so a micro-perf screen was selected to mount on the front wall, although this is still to be installed. For more detailed information on how these speakers are installed, below are the technical drawings of the Epix and how they can be used. For a larger view of these details, visit the Epix page on the Krix Web site.

These speakers may just be the the way to go for my new room.  Seven of them would sound awesome, and with my 2 x single 18" subs as well!!!

Great design, good looks and I'm sure great performance. I am curious though as to how these will go sitting behind a micro-perf screen with their front firing ports? Any feedback as to how this has worked with the above install would be great.

I'm only assuming Matthew that you question relates to the screen moving? If so, the front firing ports are not going to be an issue. There will not be enough high level bass energy coming out of the ports to move the screen, and they are almost always pulled very tight.

In commercial cinema installations, with front ported LF cabinets this is exactly how the speakers sit. The speakers are front ported to get the energy into the room, especially when a Baffle Wall is used. If the speakers were installed using a Baffle Wall and the cabinets were side or rear ported, that energy would be trapped in behind the wall.

No need to fear.
