MK SOUND 150 THX System
The 150 THX Ultra is the speaker system
that made MK SOUND “the choice
of professionals.” Not only is it the
audiophile 5.1 channel standard, it is
one of the most popular systems in
multi-channel studios today.
This is the classic MK SOUND THX Ultra
monitoring system found in hundreds of
professional studios, including Skywalker
Ranch, and thousands of home theaters .
Its musical sound, wide dynamics, and
excellent imaging make it the choice of
professionals and enthusiasts for both
movies and music . Despite the compact
size of the satellites (less than a single
cubic foot), the system produces amazing
output levels with tremendous clarity and
low distortion .
The150THX Ultra system employs MK
SOUND’s breakthrough Phase-FocusedTM
crossover technology . The crossover
is computer-designed for the ultimate
in coherent response over a wide and
controlled listening window (including
in the vertical plane, which is critical
when surround speakers are located
above listeners’ heads) . This unique
crossover is critically tuned through both
psychoacoustic analysis and complex
computer time-domain analysis to achieve
a uniform timbre balance throughout the
listening room .
If you want your movies and music to sound
they way they did when the producers and
engineers were creating them, this is the
speaker system to own .
Front and rear satellites incorporate
effective magnetic shielding with MK
SOUND’s high-performance Ferromagnetic
Shielding System . Magnetic shielding of
the subwoofer bass drivers means that
you can even place the subwoofer near
the television or CPU for the ultimate in
fl exibility .
THX Ultra
In 1991, MK SOUND became one of the
fi rst manufacturers to join George Lucas
and his Lucasfi lm Home THX program .
The original THX program was created
to ensure that movie theaters meet
strict quality standards . The THX logo
immediately became recognized as a seal
of approval for quality-conscious cinema-
goers around the world .
Today, THX Ultra is the highest independent
quality standard dedicated to the accurate
reproduction of multi-channel audio
sources in the home . The MK SOUND 150
THX system meets or exceeds THX Ultra
specifi cations to deliver music and movies
with natural, effortless realism and power .
“For over 10 years we’ve trusted in MK speakers for our sound design rooms, as well as our picture and sound editing suites .
We couldn’t have made the “Star Wars” prequels or our “Young Indiana Jones” documentaries without them .
MK monitors continue to be our speaker of choice .”
Rick McCallum
Producer, “Star Wars Episode I, II, III” and “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles”

S-150THX Front Speaker
The razor-sharp imaging of the S-150THX is due in part to
innovative front-baffle foam treatments and cabinet design
and in great part to the Phase-FocusedTM crossover . The
crossover combines three important design elements: Time
Domain Analysis, Frequency Domain Analysis and Point-In-
Space Analysis (a three dimensional analysis of the speaker’s
actual response in the room) .
While other crossover designs consider just frequency
response on one axis, MK Sound considers response at
various angles in both the vertical and horizontal planes,
optimizing the speaker’s three-dimensional response . This
critically tuned crossover yields very smooth response over a
wide listening window (very important for home theater) and
even provides a more focused and coherent sound on-axis .
Three high-quality 1” fabric-dome tweeters are aligned in
a vertical array, each utilizing a unique specially-designed
polymeric-damped cavity for superior sound . The S-150THX
dual high-performance 5 1/4” polypropylene woofers produce
powerful, richly detailed low frequencies .
The extraordinary transparency and clarity of this loudspeaker
allows you to hear precisely what the performers and mixing
engineers heard when creating the recording or soundtrack
you are listening to .
MP-150 On-Wall Speaker
Only 5 inches in depth, this dedicated wall-mount version
of the S-150 is an attractive visual complement to any flat-
screen television . It is a state-of-the-art monitor that uses
the identical components found in the S-150THX . This means
that you will experience the same quality of sound heard in
recording studios and post-production facilities worldwide .
This remarkable speaker uses the same five drivers as the
S-150THX to achieve its unequalled performance . Magnetic
shielding allows safe placement next to any television and
mounting couldn’t be easier, thanks to the elegant and easy
to use integral wall-hanging system .
MK Sound’s exclusive Phase-Focused™ crossover ensures
that you’ll hear high quality sound throughout your room,
regardless of where you sit . The MP-150’s wide horizontal
coverage reaches all listeners, and its wide but controlled
vertical radiation pattern minimizes reflections from floors
and ceilings to give you ultra-sharp imaging .
For ideal performance and system integration in any system
combination, the MP-150 is timbre-matched to MK Sound
satellite speakers and subwoofers .
SS-150 THX Tripole
Surround Speaker
Acclaimed by critics as “very
possibly the finest rear
speaker ever created” the
SS-150 THX Tripole® combines
the diffuse, spacious sound
of a dipole speaker with
the immediacy and imaging
capability of the best direct
radiators .
Each SS-150 THX Tripole® operates as two speakers at the
same time: first a near-ideal point source direct radiator (on
the front baffle) with an MK SOUND Phase-FocusedTM crossover
feeding its 5 1/4” woofer and 1” soft-dome tweeter .
The second is a dipole speaker using two unique high
performance 3 .25” polypropylene cone mid-tweeters (with
ferrofluid cooling) . These drivers achieve a very smooth and
transparent sound from 300 Hz through the critical midrange
and beyond, due in part to the fact they operate without
any midrange crossover (meaning optimum phase and sonic
coherency) .
The SS-150 THX Tripole® gives you the best of both worlds by
combining a superb front-firing direct radiator with the wide,
diffuse and enveloping sound of a dipole .
MX-350THX and MX-250
Powered Subwoofers
The MK Sound MX-350THX and MX-250 subwoofers use dual
ultra high performance, long-throw 12” magnetically shielded
drivers, capable of extremely high output with superb
articulation, clarity and authority .
The onboard power amplifiers employ MK SOUND Balanced
Push-Pull Dual Drive Amplifier technology, which incorporates
proprietary Headroom Maximizer IV circuitry to prevent
amplifier clipping and the resulting unwanted audible artifacts .
Delivering massive power, these innovative amplifiers give
you extremely clean sound and extraordinary articulation,
along with enormous output and incredible dynamic range .
MK SOUND’s Deep Bass sealed-box design produces
significant low frequency extension, with in-room response
flat to well below 20 Hz for lifelike power and authority that
other subwoofers simply cannot match .
MK SOUND’s Push-Pull Dual Driver Configuration delivers a
major improvement in bass detail and articulation by virtually
eliminating even-order harmonic distortion and doubling
the sound power per watt of amplifier power, for 6 dB of
additional output!
The linear phase lowpass filter optimizes speaker performance
and simplifies set-up . In virtually all cases, regardless of the
room, listener location or speakers, the overlapping acoustic
output of the satellites and subwoofer will sum to near
perfection for a seamless transition between the upper
range of the subwoofer and the lower range of the satellite
speakers .
