Miller & Kreisel Sound Corp. To Introduce New Products At CES 2000
Showcasing several multichannel speaker systems and powered subwoofers (including THX Ultra and Select systems), as well as its high performance frameless in-wall speakers, Miller & Kreisel Sound (M&K) will introduce at CES 2000 Booth D-9907 & D-1008) the following: 1. The S-150P ($1,699), M&K's first self-powered monitor, is based on the company's highly successful S-150THX. This new product, with internal biamplification totaling 250 watts, uses the same driver complement as the S-150THX (three 1-inch soft-dome tweeters and two 5.25-inch poly woofers), but is capable of greater output and dynamic range because of the biamplification and the elimination of a passive crossover. Using M&K's exclusive Active Phase-Focused crossover, the S-150P has extremely flat frequency response and has been optimized for multichannel applications. Offering both balanced and unbalanced inputs, this speaker gives system designers and installers an additional option with great flexibility and simplicity while insuring excellent sound quality. 2. The SURROUND-55 ($699/pr.) represents the long-awaited release of M&K's second Tripole Surround speaker design. This speaker is the smallest and most economical speaker that delivers the superior sonic performance associated with M&K's Tripole design. Identical in size and shape to another new product introduction, the LCR-55 Mk II (see below), the Surround-55 adds two 3.5-inch dipole drivers to the LCR-55's complement and uses M&K's exclusive High-Frequency Prism design and Phase-Focused crossover to deliver exceptional sound quality throughout the listening area. 3. The LCR-45 ($199/ea.) is M&K's smallest Satellite speaker. This diminutive (7 7/8-inch H x 4 7/8-inch W x 6-inch D) uses a very high quality 1-inch soft-dome Neodymium tweeter and a very high-performance 4-inch woofer along with an M&K Phase-Focused crossover. Fully magnetically shielded, this no-compromise speaker has been designed for sonic performance, not to hit a specific price point. It easily outperforms speakers of comparable size, while delivering M&K quality in the most compact package yet. 4. The LCR-55 Mk II ($250/ea.) is an updated version of the highly successful LCR-55 speaker. The Mark II version adds M&K's exclusive High-Frequency Prism system. This combines a stylish, high-tech heavy curved mesh metal grille with a 4.7 degree tweeter mounting angle and a Phase-Focused crossover to form the High-Frequency Prism. The High-Frequency Prism system vastly improves the speaker's off-axis response (as well as the on-axis response) by shaping a very smooth and extended flat high-frequency response over a very wide listening window. The window is directed for optimum imaging, requiring separate left and right speakers. The LCR-55 Mk II also has M&K's exclusive Phase-Focused crossover, which works in conjunction with the Prism system to help deliver a very smooth response over a wide horizontal and vertical listening window. Regardless of where the speaker or listeners are located in the room, the listeners will hear superior imaging and sound quality, with remarkable clarity. 5. NEW FINISHES! a. The highly-acclaimed and award-winning M&K 750 THX Select system is now available in a beautiful high-gloss black finish. b.
