This setup is becoming more popular these days and is perfect for those unable to install rear surround speakers.

Say Goodbye to Cable Clutter & Hello to Superior Audio with HDMI eARC

HDMI eARC allows a single HDMI cable to transmit high-quality audio signals from a TV to an audio device, such as an AV receiver or soundbar. This technology supports higher bandwidth and Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, which offer immersive sound quality.

The power to engineer your room

With the most advanced implementation of Anthem's award-winning ARC: Genesis room correction, professional calibration of your system can be achieved with the click of a button while still offering advanced functionality to refine the sound to your personal taste.

Anthem Room Correction measures each speaker's output relative to the listening area, then through a series of calculations, adjusts its output. Not only does ARC correct peaks and dips in a speaker's frequency response, but it also preserves the beneficial acoustic attributes of a room. Surfaces such as windows, furnishings, and the geometry of the walls, floor, and ceiling add unwanted resonance and colouration.

StereoNET Product Of The Year Awards 2024

"When Krix does a soundbar, it’s not like all the others. This makes almost all other such speaker systems look like toys. Highly configurable, and offered in three standard lengths – 75-, 85- or 100-inch – the LX-7 Linear LCR Passive is a monster of a thing. Weighing 30kg in its biggest guise, this Australian super-speaker delivers an incredible, virtually distortion-free sound that goes up to wild volume levels – but you’ll need a suitably serious partnering amplifier though, as this is passive. Properly set-up, it’s an object lesson in what’s possible from a single, full-range centre speaker."

"The Verdict"

"The LX-7 has all the ingredients to become the go-to product for small to mid-size media rooms nationwide. If you want serious home cinema sound without filling your room with cumbersome floorstanding speakers, or cutting large holes in your walls only to find your cavity isn't deep enough, then the LX-7 is the obvious choice. It's classic Krix cinema quality in a neo-Krix form factor. Finally, soundbars can be exciting."

It’s not a soundbar… it's a sound experience.

Historically, movie enthusiasts have had to make a choice between a sleek soundbar-shaped speaker that fits nicely under a screen, or a powerful and dynamic movie performance. That compromise no longer needs to be made!

Designed and manufactured in Australia, the LX-7 has been engineered for lounge rooms, media rooms, games rooms and dedicated home theatres. High power handling and sensitivity ensure movie soundtracks, games and music are delivered with incredible power and dynamic range.

Krix engineers have been hard at work, scaling technology from Krix’s dedicated home cinema range into the shallow (142mm deep), heavily braced enclosure. Three 90 x 90 Krix short-throw waveguides significantly improve dispersion characteristics and ensure clear separation of dialogue, effects and music, putting you at the centre of your favourite movies, concerts or TV series. The 165mm (6.5") bass driver incorporates a huge 50mm (2") voice coil, reinforcing the fact that this isn’t your "usual" soundbar.

Tilting Bracket

Using the included bracket, the LX-7 can be mounted flush against the wall or at adjustable angles up to 15 degrees for optimal sound dispersion.

Tonally Matched

The LX-7 is toneally matched to all Krix surround and overhead speakers.

Unparalleled Sound

Three 90 x 90 Krix short throw waveguides significantly improve dispersion characteristics and increase efficiency for very high output levels

Australian Made

Krix has proudly engineered and manufactured speakers in Australia since 1974.

[Optional] Make it a 5.1 pack by adding a pair of rear surrounds!

Take full advantage of the receiver's 5.1 channel outputs by adding a pair of IW-50 in-wall speakers to this package as rear surrounds!

The IW-50's are tonally-matched with the LX-7, so they are perfect for use as surrounds in this system, creating a full 5.1 channel system that is discreet and stylish.

Krix Seismix 3 Mk7 Subwoofer

High Impact
