o many would-be home

theatre owners or movie

lovers, the prospect of filling

a lounge with a full array

of loudspeakers simply isn’t

practically feasible, or aesthetically

acceptable. Those with the space and

the funds may consider a dedicated home

cinema, but most of us have to find a

workable compromise between space,

aesthetics and functionality.

As a further complication, domestic

spaces are shrinking. The expansive homes

of the 1970s have become clusters,

townhouses and apartments, where a

smaller overall footprint is still divided

into the same combination of smaller

sleeping and living spaces.

In other words, the lounge that needs

to host our home theatre kits has shrunk

over the years, making it even more

difficult to incorporate the kind of

equipment required to achieve realistic

surround sound.

Of course, this is the kind of challenge

AV system installers revel in, and there

is no shortage of potential solutions.

But in the process, attaining a satisfying

balance between convenience and

aesthetics on the one hand, and outright

sonic quality on the other, is not always

as simple.

MK Sound has long enjoyed a reputation

for sonic excellence, as evidenced by

the long list of cinematic luminaries and

sound professionals populating its client

database. And certainly, my experience

of its products has revealed an ability

to create cohesive and expansive sonic

images with a particular focus on realism

and impact.

In that context, the notion of a ‘small’

MK Sound MP7

COVER REVIEW

MK Sound cinema speaker package seems

to be a contradiction in terms, especially

since the main front speakers in this

system comprise relatively shallow on-

wall designs.

But before we embark on a sonic journey

to find out just what the MK Sound MP7

speaker system actually sounds like, let’s

acknowledge the specific application of a

system such as this.

In a compact room, with limited floor

space, and little scope for reconfiguration

to suit an AV system installation, the

loudspeakers will have to be compact,

unobtrusive and, ideally, versatile as far

as mounting options are concerned.

No wonder that home theatre sound

standards authority THX has acknowledged

the trend by creating a new certification

programme for compact speakers, designed

specifically to ensure that even this new

generation of relatively small speakers

is able to do realistic justice to the

dynamics and tonal range of a movie

soundtrack.

The THX Compact Speaker System

programme sets a number of key stand-

ards to ensure acceptable performance

by small home theatre speaker systems in

compact rooms (see our panel). Of Note

MK Sound says its MP7 speaker system

is the first to be specifically designed

around the new THX Compact standard,

suggesting that, if used in a room of the

correct proportions, this collection of

small speakers should still deliver the

punch and presence associated with

‘real’ home theatre.

To find out if that’s indeed the case, we

installed the system in our AV Magazine

listening room, which is perhaps a little

bigger than the THX Compact standard

suggests, but not too big to render the

exercise useless.

As provided for review, the system

under discussion here matched three

M7P speakers (in a front left, centre,

right configuration) with two M4-T

tripoles used in a surround sound mode,

while a SB12 subwoofer provided the

bottom-end foundation.

OUR RATING: 86 / 100

The MP7 is based on the M7 stand-

mounter, but specifically configured

for on-wall use. It’s a slim, vertically

oriented speaker, finished in glossy black

(although gloss white is also on offer),

and equipped with a magnetically

located cloth grille.

Despite the different, shallower

dimensions, the MP7 has the same

internal volume as the M7, promising

very similar performance characteristics.

The drive units have also been retained,

allowing close voice matching with the

M4-T tripole surrounds.

In all cases, the speakers employ

polymer-coated mid/bass drivers in

sealed enclosures, with soft-dome

tweeters providing the high frequencies.

Sensitivity ratings are fair, but when

coupled to a relatively low nominal

impedance, it’s clear that these speakers

deserve decent, beefy amplification,

even in the THX Compact context, to

ensure ample dynamics.

Hung from a wall, the aesthetic

effect created by the MP7s is slim and

discreet, to the point where those of

us with high sonic expectations may

consider these MKs just a little too

compact to be taken seriously.

Fortunately, we live in an era where

size doesn’t always count for everything.

I mounted the left and right front MP7s

against the wall, equidistant from our

Sony LCD panel, with the third located

horizontally directly below the display, as

required by its centre channel role.

The subwoofer was in the right front

corner, but far enough from the rear

and side walls to prevent unwanted

acoustic interaction.

The M4-Ts were also wall-suspended,

this time on the sides and towards the

rear of the listening room. These tripoles

employ a front-firing tweeter and mid/

bass driver with two compact full-range

drivers creating a diffused sound field

that allows easier and more seamless

integration of the surround channels into

the overall surround soundstage.

While MK Sound suggests that a THX-

certified AV receiver with THX Compact

will optimise the performance of the MP7

speaker set even further, we were

The THX Compact standard

sets difficult – yet achievable –

performance specifications to

meet the expectations of home

cinema customers seeking the

dynamics, impact and realism of

true surround sound, but utilising

a more compact speaker array in

smaller spaces.

Its definition of a compact

room is 4,5 m long, 3 m wide

and 2,6 m high, with a listening

distance of up to 2,4 m from

the screen.

Among the performance param-

eters set by the new THX Compact

standards are high output and

low distortion (up to 105 dBC

SPL), a flat frequency response

in the interests of clear dialogue

across a wide listening area, and

a specific focus on low-frequency

crossover points and performance

to ensure vital bass response and

smooth tonal transitions.

THX Compact is relevant across

both 2.1 and 7.1 system configu-

rations, with the subwoofer a key

component, as it is required to

provide extended low-frequency

output with tailored equalisation

for a smooth and well integrated

sound when combined with

satellite speakers.

The new THX Compact standard

is compatible with existing THX

Select2 Plus or Ultra2 Plus-certified

AV receivers, utilising an 80 Hz

crossover point. A number of

new-generation receivers also now

offer a dedicated THX Compact

set-up to ensure a perfect match.
