Miller & Kreisel® IW500 Reference In-wall LCR Please contact us to discuss your Home Cinema needs and a quotation The Miller & Kreisel® IW500 is M&K Sound’s most state of the art and sophisticated loudspeaker to date and includes several technological advances, allowing it to pass stringent testing and receive THX Certified Dominus status. The IW500 is a three way loudspeaker sporting a true 92dB of sensitivity with all its drivers mounted in a vertical line to achieve precise on and off axis audio performance. M&K Sound rightfully uses the tagline ‘It just sounds real’ to describe the sonic delivery. Groundbreaking design features for truly natural sound The first THX® Certified Dominus in-wall loudspeaker for very large home cinemas with both vertical and horizontal installation flexibility. M&K Sound has combined a high-performance one-inch soft dome tweeter with a precision-crafted aluminium waveguide to 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 Miller & Kreisel 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 fibre 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. It 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 design feature of M&K Sound’s reference loudspeakers. The IW500 includes newly developed transducers with extra-large magnets for less compressed and less distorted sound. Miller & Kreisel IW500 Features M&K Sound’s most state of the art and sophisticated loudspeaker to date THX Certified Dominus status Designed for the largest and most exclusive home cinema installations For room volumes of up to 6,500 cu ft or 185 cu m Three way loudspeaker sporting a true 92 dB of sensitivity Drivers mounted in a vertical line to achieve precise on and off axis audio performance requirements for superb imaging Delivers a natural, open and articulate sound field with extraordinary high output High performance one inch soft dome tweeter with a precision crafted aluminium waveguide ensures accurate and focused vertical and horizontal dispersion Two Kurt Muller three inch soft dome midrange drivers, 800 Hz to 2500 Hz with shallow waveguides Dual 8″ woofers employ large magnets and carbon fibre cones to achieve its high sensitivity rating and a full bodied and visceral low frequency response Complex crossover network to promote an audible smoothness and non fatiguing character across the frequency range M&K Sound’s proprietary ‘Capacitive Coupling’ design feature in the crossover allows for a much smaller enclosure than normally required Each model in M&K Sound’s extensive range is timbre matched for the ultimate sonic cohesion in any room Every facet of M&K Sound’s enduring legacy of technological achievement is incorporated into the latest IW500 flagship loudspeaker. As each model in M&K Sound’s extensive range is timbre-matched for the ultimate sonic cohesion in any room, the IW500 can ably complement surround and height speakers from the award-winning M&K 300 and 150 Series. The IW500 now brings the sonic precision, neutrality and articulation, for which M&K is world-renowned, into the very largest of residential cinema and listening rooms. THX room size Designed for use in high-end home theatres or Hi-Fi stereo systems, and with an 80 Hz–20 kHz ( /-1.5 dB) frequency response, the IW500 pairs ideally with one or more subwoofers (such as M&K Sound’s own THX Certified Dominus X15 subwoofer). The new M&K Sound speaker will deliver a natural, open and articulate sound field with extraordinary high output every time. Perfect for large home cinemas and media rooms, the IW500 measures a maximum SPL of greater than 117 dB and a power amplifier handling of 100–500 watts.
