Why Krix Horns Sound Better: Precision, Power and Patented Performance
Cinema audio is about immersion. Whether it’s a whisper in a quiet scene or the thunder of an action sequence, every sound should be heard clearly and consistently throughout the entire auditorium. At the heart of delivering that experience is the horn—and not all horn designs are created equal. Krix’s exclusive constant directivity horn technology delivers better control, clarity, and coverage than conventional horn or line array systems.
What is constant directivity?
Traditional horns often struggle with uneven dispersion - meaning sound can be loud and clear in one seat and muddy or weak in another. Krix’s constant directivity horns solve this by maintaining a consistent dispersion pattern over a wide frequency range. This means every seat is a good seat.
Advantages of Krix horn technology
- Uniform coverage and frequency response
- Krix horns provide exceptionally even coverage both horizontally and vertically.
- Frequency response remains smooth on- and off-axis, avoiding the typical peaks and dips found in conventional designs.
- Precision audience coverage
- Reduces stray reflections from walls and ceilings.
- Delivers more detail, clarity, and emotional impact.
- Wide sweet spot
- Viewers across the room get the same high-fidelity sound experience.
- Less listener fatigue, more immersion.
- Superior transient response and lower distortion
- The acoustic transformer action of a horn loads the driver diaphragm with a stiff mechanical and acoustical load.
- This suppresses resonant modes, reduces diaphragm excursion, and lowers distortion - especially in mid and high frequencies.
- Higher system efficiency
- Horns convert electrical energy into acoustic energy more effectively.
- Capable of producing very high outputs with less amplifier power.
