M&K SOUND X+ SERIES THX CERTIFIED SUBWOOFERS

Danish brand M&K Sound claim to be “the inventors of the subwoofer”.

M&K Sound are introducing three new M&K Sound X+ Series subwoofer models including the company’s first THX Dominus Certified 15-inch X15+ sub.

The three brand new THX Certified subwoofers, the X15+,X12+ and X10+, feature  M&K Sound’s signature push-pull driver configuration.

THX DOMINUS

Each model has achieved THX status, with the X15+ being the company’s first 15-inch push-pull subwoofer to be THX® Certification Dominus class.

M&K Sound’s engineering team has added numerous upgrades to the original X Series, including huge RMS and peak wattage power hikes to enable cleaner performance over the former X10 and X12 models, with brand-new Danish designed and built ICE Class D power amplifiers.

M&K SOUND X+ SERIES THX CERTIFIED SUBWOOFER DRIVERS

There are updated and redesigned woofers with 30 per cent larger voice coils and magnets (X12+ and X10+). New Carbon Fibre Woofer Cones have been developed for all models with ultra-high strength and rigidity to accommodate the added power and excursion of the new X+ Series. M&K Sound’s proprietary CNC machined extruded aluminium Distortion Killer Shorting Rings are also included.

The dual 10-inch driver X10+ with THX® Certified Select, the dual 12-inch driver X12+ with THX® Certified Ultra, and dual 15-inch driver X15+ with THX® Certified Dominus, help ensure that movie and music lovers can achieve cinema audio reference levels in their home media or living rooms of up to 2,000ft3, 3,000ft3 and 6,500ft3, respectively.

PUSH PULL SUBWOOFER

M&K Sound’s Push-Pull subwoofer architecture and ‘reversed double driver’ non-isobaric configuration means that both drivers in the cabinet are ‘exposed’ to room air. Consequently, and like the X-Series before it, the X+ Series models are effectively two subwoofers in one cabinet enabling a further associated reduction in distortion. This is made possible by having one inverted driver in relation to the other cancelling non-linearities to produce totally symmetric waveforms.

M&K SOUND X+ SERIES THX CERTIFIED SUBWOOFERS CONSTRUCTION

The X15+, X12+ and X10+ all feature full 25mm MDF construction and bracing to eliminate panel vibrations or cabinet resonances, and increased venting at the base of the woofers mitigates distortion due to air turbulence. These milled cavities also act as convenient carrying handles for installation efficiency.

Cosmetic makeovers for the X+ Series include flush-mounted front baffles and invisible magnetic grille attachment mechanisms. Harmonizing with the bold but Scandi-cool looks of the M&K S150 and S300 speakers, the new subs offer cleaner lines and more discreet curved edges to complement living spaces or dedicated home cinema rooms.

M&K SOUND X+ SERIES THX CERTIFIED SUBWOOFERS PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

The X+ Series will be available in January 2022 from authorized M&K Sound dealers.
