DO NOT REMOVE THE SPECIAL ACOUSTIC FOAM ATTACHED TO THE

FRONT BAFFLE AND/OR GRILLE OF YOUR SPEAKERS.

This foam is a critical part of your loudspeaker system and plays an important role in its high level of performance. It focuses the radiation of the tweeters, minimizes cabinet diffraction, and provides the flattest possible frequency response.

MK Sound has established a formidable reputation in the audio industry, particularly for its commitment to high-performance surround sound systems. Central to their lineup are the S-250 and S-150THX speakers, designed to deliver exceptional audio fidelity and experience in home theater environments.

The MK Sound S-250 is a powerful subwoofer that emphasizes low-frequency performance, capable of producing deep bass effects that enhance the realism of movie soundtracks and music alike. With a robust 12-inch driver and high-efficiency amplifier, the S-250 can deliver 250 watts of power, ensuring that even the most demanding soundtracks are handled with ease. Its sealed, acoustically inert enclosure minimizes distortion, allowing for precise bass response that complements the overall soundstage without overpowering midrange or treble frequencies.

The S-150THX and S-150THX AC speakers are THX-certified surround speakers, ensuring they meet the rigorous standards established by Lucasfilm. The S-150THX features a 5.25-inch midrange driver and a 1-inch tweeter, arranged in a carefully designed enclosure that supports both direct and diffuse sound dispersion. This design enhances imaging and localization in multi-channel audio settings, making it ideal for immersive surround sound experiences. The S-150THX AC, which features an advanced amplifier and additional connectivity options, maintains the same commitment to high-performance audio with added flexibility for modern home theater setups.

Both the S-150THX and S-150THX AC incorporate MK Sound's proprietary technologies, including optimized driver phase response and sophisticated crossover networks. These technologies work together to ensure that sound reproduction is accurate and coherent across all frequencies, providing listeners with a true representation of the original audio source. Additionally, the speakers' carefully constructed enclosures help to eliminate unwanted resonance, further enhancing sound clarity.

In summary, the MK Sound S-250 and S-150THX series speakers are engineered for those who demand superb sound quality in their home entertainment systems. With features like robust power handling, THX certification, and advanced construction technologies, these speakers deliver an unparalleled listening experience that captures the essence of both music and film soundtracks. Whether for a dedicated home theater or a multi-purpose media room, MK Sound's offerings are designed to impress and satisfy even the most discerning audiophiles.
