MK Sound IW Series - IW500 - On Wall Speaker
The first THX® Certified Dominus in-wall loudspeaker for very large home cinemas with both vertical and horizontal installation flexibility
ensure accurate and focused vertical and horizontal dispersion characteristics. The design marks the first time M&K Sound
has developed a horn-loaded loudspeaker which guarantees real and natural delivery, whether placed vertically or horizontally.
The IW500 combines two Kurt Muller three-inch soft dome midrange drivers (800 Hz to 2500 Hz) with shallow waveguides.
These pair with a complex crossover network to promote an audible smoothness and non-fatiguing character across the frequency range.
By consolidating excellent vertical response from the crossover with excellent horizontal dispersion from the vertical driver array,
the IW500 produces a profoundly flat power response.
The IW500’s onboard dual 8-inch woofers employ large magnets and carbon fiber cones to achieve its high sensitivity rating
(92 dB SPL @ 1 meter with 2.83V), enabling a full-bodied and visceral low-frequency response.
M&K Sound’s proprietary ‘Capacitive Coupling’ design feature in the crossover allows for a much smaller enclosure than normally required.
t also ensures tighter bass response, increased impedance (easier to drive) and less distortion.
The IW500’s revolutionary crossover is responsible for the loudspeaker’s smooth frequency and polar responses.
Transition between high, mid and bass frequencies is seamless, a trademark designfeature of M&K Sound’s reference loudspeakers.
The IW500 includes newly developed transducerswith extra-large magnets for less compressed and less distorted sound.
