A gentleman approached us to propose a KRIX-based speaker system for his new theatre since he had heard excellent things about the brand, values locally manufactured products, and the Krix company history resonated with him. He noted that his new home cinema would be larger than others he’d seen, and he was afraid that the speaker and system options he’d seen and heard in various places would not provide adequate performance in his area. He asked Sydney Hi-Fi Castle Hill if we would be prepared to propose a system based on the Krix MX-40 Speaker system that he had read great things about. Of course, we were more than happy to take look at the room and propose a system and some options for his consideration, we asked that he send some plans and we would design and put forward a solution.

Equipment List
After some discussion on the two systems, it was agreed that it would be a good idea to organise a time to audition our showroom KRX MX-40 cinema and experience KRIX sound first hand. Once our client spent some time in our MX-40 demonstration cinema he was sold on KRIX loving the vocal clarity and true cinematic presentation of sound which he claimed was unlike any cinema he had heard or owned in the past.
Based on our advice the Krix Cinematix design was selected for immediate pre-wire

Cinema Construction & Pre-Wire
Our client has a very keen eye for design and had a clear vision of how the room was going to be finished. The layout of the room on the plan was pretty much flawless with three generous tiers for seating and plenty of height. the only hurdle was a lack of space to place rear subwoofers due to a bathroom directly behind the room and this is the only compromise we had to make using 12″ in ceiling subwoofers over the rear row of chairs. He liked the idea of creating a box to cantilever the speakers and screen off the front wall which we designed and he had built. Our client wanted to keep the walls and ceiling colour light with heavy curtains down each side, he also wanted to use casual seating instead of formal cinema chairs
Installation
Due to the amount of equipment, size of equipment and precision required installation took a little over two weeks before calibration and fine tuning could commence
Completion!
Once Calibrated the room would have to be one of the best sounding cinemas we have heard to date. No matter where you sit in this very large room you are enveloped in immersive sound with the combination of equipment achieving cinema reference levels at the primary listening position when plenty of headroom
