M&K SOUND V+ SERIES SUBWOOFERS ARE A COMPACT LIFESTYLE-FRIENDLY LINE
Danish brand M&K Sound has revamped the former V Series with three compact M&K Sound V+ Series subwoofers.
The new M&K Sound V+ Series subwoofers are designed for today’s living spaces and two of them have THX® Certification.
M&K SOUND V+ SERIES SUBWOOFERS
M&K Sound (which stands for Miller & Kreisel), the brand now based in Denmark who lay claim to being the inventors of the satellite/subwoofer speaker combination for full-range home audio reproduction, is introducing three new compact, lifestyle-friendly subwoofers, the V15+, V12+ and V10+, with single 15-inch, 12-inch and 10-inch drivers, respectively.
“With ever more demand for reference bass performance in living rooms and small home cinemas, we believed it was time to overhaul our V Series subwoofers to develop the new V+ Series for a wider, décor-conscious, and discerning audience,” said Per Becher, Chief Executive Officer, M&K Sound.
THX CERTIFICATION
These small-footprint subwoofers, two of which have earned THX® Certification and are M&K App-enabled (V15+ and V12+), all promise to “deliver deep and accurate bass to consumers in an affordable package”.
The 15-inch V15+ has achieved THX® Certified Ultra status when using two M&K V15+ subwoofers together, and the 12-inch V12+ has achieved THX® Certified Select status, meaning each can attain professional cinema audio reference levels in rooms of up to 3,000ft3 and 2,000ft3, respectively.
M&K SOUND V+ SERIES SUBWOOFERS CLASS D AMPLIFIER POWER
M&K Sound engineers have increased the amplifier power output over the former V Series for all three new V+ subwoofers. The V15+ represents the first 15-inch driver enclosure to join the V family of products with power of 500W RMS/1000W Peak, while the V10+ and V12+ have had their deep bass frequency response extended from 25Hz (on the former V12 and V10 models) down to 20Hz (-6dB).
M&K Sound’s new V+ Series subwoofers sport single drivers with newly treated, reinforced paper cones in sealed, anti-resonant enclosures. These design features combine with high-efficiency, Class D amplifiers and M&K’s proprietary ‘front end’ input stage.
M&K APP
Both the V15+ and V12+ subwoofers enable configuration from a seated position via the M&K App, available at the Apple Store or Google Play Store. As well as adjustments to volume, crossover frequency, delay and phase, the M&K App provides onboard control options for new owners to set up Manual EQ and Auto EQ parameters.
Manual EQ allows users to adjust frequency, gain and ‘Q’ of four independent EQs. Auto EQ compensates and corrects for acoustical room anomalies which can cause inferior bass performance. By taking measurements in and around the prime listening position, the proprietary M&K App applies acoustical corrections to deliver optimized listening conditions.
COMPACT CUBOIDS
M&K Sound’s compact V+ Series subwoofers offer new curved and tapered external housings. The manageable cuboid form factors include perfect square faceplates measuring 18.5 inches2 (V15+), 15.5 inches2 (V12+), and 13.5 inches2 (V10+).
Combined with newly developed and magnetized front grilles for easy removal and replacement, the M&K Sounds V+ Series subwoofers are available in Black Satin. V10+ and V12+ also in White Satin luxury finishes.
M&K SOUND V+ SERIES SUBWOOFERS PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
M&K Sound V+ Series Subwoofers will be available in February 2022 from authorized M&K Sound dealers for MSRP US $1,499 (V10+), $1,899 (V12+) and $3,199 (V15+).
