Subwoofer M&K Sound SB12 HP
In older models of subwoofers, related to Series MX, the company MK Sound traditionally applies a push-pull dynamic with two heads working in a closed box. In devices more affordable line of SB, which belongs to the MK Sound SB12HP, one transmitter works, but at the same time remain faithful to the enclosure. In this case, the manufacturer has to make a cabinet unit is relatively compact, that the use of a closed box is a challenge. The decoration of a black piano lacquer HG subwoofer MK Sound SB12HP looks before luxuriously, that the presence of a pair of gloves in the box to install it is taken for granted. However, you can select the finish and easier - matte black veneer. 12-inch head SuperFast Deep Bass Driver is mounted on the front panel and is protected by a removable metal grill, fully closing the front of the machine. Body relies on a neat rubber feet, so there is no need to worry about the flooring. Built-in power amplifier is made with discrete components using proprietary technology M&K Headroom Maximizer, get rid of the distortion, even at extreme volume levels. Close the heatsink its output stages takes up most of the back wall. Nearby there is a patch panel, on which there are four pairs of gold-plated speaker terminals luxury high-level input and output.

Character of the sound MK Sound SB12HP fairly typical for subwoofers in the acoustic design of a "closed box". Elastic collected and fast bass allows the unit to work out the most realistic dynamic scenes, although in terms of energy prolonged low-frequency effects such as hum or massive explosions, it concedes models Reflex. For example, the appearance of the Alien in the scene that opens the director's cut of the film "Aliens vs. Predator", sharp and very low pulse by MK Sound SB12HP produces a stunning impression. Heavy foot soldier in the exo-suit during the arrival of new recruits to the planet Pandora ("Avatar") printed very clearly, but not shaking inside. But in a car chase at the beginning of "Quantum of Solace" gunfire practiced perfectly - no hum, no parasitic resonances, neither of distortion is observed. However, immediately takes heavy truck head-on one of the "Alfa Romeo", and should be a powerful blow, which is transmitted very clearly, but without excessive showiness. On the other hand, in a fast and trifonike assembled bass is very handy. Quality of the bass is more important than its quantity. At the same time shows a good subwoofer, virtually seamless coordination with satellites.
