Krix Loudspeakers is a pioneering Australian family-owned speaker manufacturer founded in 1974 by electronics engineer Scott Krix in Adelaide, who started the company in his garage with nothing but 'a pair of pliers, a hacksaw and a hammer' after graduating from university and experiencing an epiphany while listening to records on his hand-built stereo system. Operating from their Hackham facility at 14 Chapman Road in Adelaide's south with approximately 25 staff including five Krix brothers, the company has evolved from a consumer hi-fi speaker manufacturer into a globally recognized premium loudspeaker producer serving three distinct markets: home entertainment, dedicated home cinema, and commercial cinema installations. The family business achieved its breakthrough in 1980 when Scott pioneered the world's first infinite baffle wall to resolve audio issues at the local Capri Cinema in Goodwood, revolutionizing commercial cinema installations and setting the foundation for Krix's dominance in the cinema market with their speakers now adorning over 4,500 installations across 40 countries spanning Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, and beyond. Under the leadership of Managing Director and CEO Gary Krix, alongside Commercial Cinema Sales Director Ashley Krix, the company has maintained its commitment to meticulous Australian handcrafted engineering with fine craftsmanship and unwavering sonic purity, offering product lines including bookshelf, floorstanding, centre channel, surround, and subwoofer speakers for home entertainment, plus modular, freestanding, in-wall, and on-wall speakers for dedicated home cinema, while serving as the exclusive Australian and New Zealand distributor for Trinnov audio processors. Key personnel include founder Scott Krix as Co-Director, Electronics Design Engineer Scott Morphett, Marketing specialist Amanda Zimmermann, and Global AV Sales team members Mica Corcimari and Dave Williams, with the company celebrating significant milestones including the LX-7 linear LCR being crowned StereoNET International Product of the Year 2024 in the soundbar category during their 50th anniversary year. The company operates with a manufacturing-focused philosophy requiring appointments for demonstrations, contactable at +61 8 8384 3433, while maintaining active social media presence through Facebook (@krixsound), Instagram (@krixsound), and LinkedIn (1,088 followers), emphasizing their identity as Australia's premier manufacturer of consumer stereo, home theatre, and commercial cinema loudspeaker systems with dealer conferences and international partnerships supporting their global expansion from Adelaide to worldwide cinema markets.
