It also distrubutes amplifiers and multi-channel home cinema receiver/processor units such as Trinnov Audio systems.
Early History
[edit]Horn Design
[edit]For much of its history, Krix has the focused on the use of and original designs in horn-loaded speakers as part of its goal to produce speakers which:
- Are high in efficiency (more formally called "sensitivity"), meaning that they can be driven by relatively low-powered amplifiers
- Are low in modulation distortion
- Have wide dynamic range, meaning that they accurately reproduce both soft and loud sounds
- Exhibit controlled directivity, meaning that the radiation pattern is directional, rather than diffuse
- Have a flat frequency response, meaning that there is no unnatural emphasis in the bass, mid-range or treble.
Their chief horn designer David Murphy has published many white papers on the subject through the Audio Engineering Society Journal.
