History of MK Sound Loudspeakers

MK Sound, also known as M&K Sound or Miller & Kreisel Sound, has been a leader in the audio industry for over four decades. Founded in 1973 by audio enthusiasts Ken Kreisel and Jonas Miller, MK Sound has been dedicated to designing and manufacturing high-performance loudspeakers for both home and professional use. The company's innovative approach to audio technology has earned it a reputation for delivering exceptional sound quality and reliability.

Early Years: The Birth of a Legend

Ken Kreisel and Jonas Miller first met in the early 1970s when they were both working at a high-end audio store in Los Angeles. They shared a passion for music and sound quality, which led them to start their own company, Miller & Kreisel Sound. Their first product was a subwoofer called the M&K Sound Servo-Feedback Subwoofer, which was designed to provide accurate and powerful bass reproduction.

1980s: Expanding into Home Theatre and Professional Audio

In the 1980s, MK Sound expanded its product range to include satellite speakers and home theatre systems. The company's innovative designs, such as the S-1B satellite speaker, quickly gained popularity among audiophiles and home theatre enthusiasts. During this time, MK Sound also began to make a name for itself in the professional audio industry, with its products being used in recording studios, film production, and broadcasting.

1990s: The THX Revolution and Beyond

The 1990s saw MK Sound take a significant step forward in the audio industry when it became the first company to receive THX certification for its loudspeakers. THX, a set of performance standards developed by Lucasfilm, was designed to ensure that movie theatres and home theatre systems could reproduce soundtracks with the same level of quality as the original studio recordings. MK Sound's THX-certified speakers, such as the SS-150THX and MX-350THX, set a new benchmark for audio performance and helped to establish the company as a leader in the home theatre market.

2000s: New Ownership and Continued Innovation

In the early 2000s, Ken Kreisel sold his stake in MK Sound, and the company went through a period of transition. Despite the changes in ownership, MK Sound continued to innovate and expand its product range. In 2007, the company introduced the M-7 Series, which featured a new generation of high-performance satellite speakers and subwoofers.

2010s: A New Era for MK Sound

In 2012, Danish company AudioNord International acquired MK Sound, marking the beginning of a new era for the company. Under the new leadership, MK Sound has continued to develop cutting-edge audio products, such as the S300 Series, which has been praised for its exceptional sound quality and performance.

Conclusion

Today, MK Sound remains a respected name in both the home theatre and professional audio markets. With a rich history of innovation and a commitment to delivering the highest quality audio products, MK Sound continues to set the standard for high-performance loudspeakers.
