Deep in the bowels of the earth's core, the Krix Research and Development team have been kept busy putting the final touches to the new Seismix 1 mk3 and Seismix 3 mk5 active subwoofers.
The Seismix 1 mk3 has changed considerably, as we have sought to significantly differentiate between the Seismix 1 mk3 and the Seismix 3 mk5. Bass drivers for both new models have been completely re-engineered, with magnet and pole piece geometry enhancements providing greater control at high excursion, resulting in higher power handling and greater low frequency output.
The S1 cabinet has changed from a 10" front firing subwoofer, to an 8" downward firing device, enabling Krix to do away with the need for a cloth grille as part of the cabinet design. Instead, Krix have designed and moulded four rubber feet to raise the cabinet (and driver) 35mm off the floor for optimum performance. The feet also have provision for accepting speaker spikes should the need arise. The cabinet is also slightly smaller to accommodate the correct tuning for the driver, making this new model Krix's most compact subwoofer to date.
The Seismix 3 mk5 has had little change to its cabinet, with the overall dimensions of the cabinet not changing at all. The bass driver however, has gone from a 10" to an 11" and front baffle location of the new driver and front firing vent have moved 180 degrees to accommodate the amplifier module on the rear panel. Overall weight of the unit has increased by 20% due to the re-designed Krix driver having a much larger motor structure to aid in controlling the doped paper cone at high output levels.
