Model upgrade summary (MX-20 Mk2, MX-30i, MX-40i)

The new MX-20 Mk2, MX-30i, MX-40i and MXi-118 infra-bass module introduce meaningful performance improvements across the Series MX portfolio while maintaining full compatibility with existing installations. Together, they provide clear upgrade pathways, deeper system performance, and greater design flexibility for a wider range of dedicated home cinema sizes.

MX-20 Mk2

The MX-20 Mk2 delivers a substantial performance lift over the original model, with upgrades to the left, centre, right (LCR) and subwoofer modules.

LCR module upgrades:

• A new 12-inch low-frequency driver replaces the Mk1’s 10-inch driver, paired with a larger 2.5-inch voice coil for higher output and lower distortion.
• A Krix patented constant-directivity horn and one-inch compression driver replace the Mk1’s doped fabric dome tweeter and waveguide, delivering controlled dispersion, precise high-frequency detail and improved dynamics.
• Power handling increases from 500W to 700W RMS for greater headroom and clarity.

Subwoofer upgrade

• A reversible, dual-terminal design allows the subwoofer to be oriented up or down to suit installation requirements.

Dealer value

• Higher SPL capability for mid-sized rooms
• Enhanced and noticeable improvements in clarity, detail and dynamics
• Clear upgrade path for existing MX-20 pipeline customers

MX-30i and MCX-40i

The left, centre and right speaker modules in the MX-30i and MX-40i remain unchanged from the original designs. All upgrades focus on a newly engineered subwoofer architecture designed for true infrasonic reproduction and dramatically improved low-frequency performance.

New subwoofer design features:

• New high-performance 18-inch driver engineered for deep, tactile low-frequency realism.
• Engineered for true infrasonic output, extending performance below the audible range.
• Reversible, dual-terminal design for flexible up- or down-firing installation.
• Uniform height and slim-line depth match the original MX-30 and MX-40 systems, enabling both retrofit and pipeline upgrades.

Dealer value

• Highly marketable, low labour, upgrade opportunity for installed MX-30 and MX-40 customers
• Simple upgrade path for pipeline MX-30/MX-40 projects
• More premium positioning for customers seeking deeper immersion
• Significant boost in LF energy for larger rooms
• Ideal for premium clients seeking commercial-level dynamics
• Perfect pairing with Trinnov, StormAudio, Dirac ART or WaveForming systems

MXi-118 subwoofer - Dealer integration guide

The MXi-118 is a standalone module designed to integrate with existing MX-30 and MX-40 systems or to be added as supplementary low-frequency subwoofer anywhere in the room, including the rear wall. This makes it an ideal upsell for both new and existing MX installations.
