Compact Form. Commanding Sound. Crafted in Australia.

Designed for the audiophile who demands exceptional performance from a compact loudspeaker, the Equinox Mk5 is a testament to what can be achieved when acoustic engineering meets handcrafted precision. Proudly made in South Australia, the Equinox Mk5 defies its modest dimensions to deliver a big, bold sound that belies its size — effortlessly filling your room with rich, detailed audio, while integrating seamlessly into any listening space.

Whether you're rediscovering the warmth of vinyl, enjoying the precision of high-resolution digital audio, or building an immersive surround sound system, the Equinox Mk5 offers a truly refined and versatile listening experience — all from a speaker that can fit discreetly into a shelf, cabinet, or stand.


A Small Speaker That Sounds Monumental

Despite its compact cabinet, the Equinox Mk5 is engineered to offer surprising scale and depth, with finesse, clarity, and punch typically reserved for much larger speakers. Ideal for two-channel stereo listening, this speaker shines when paired with high-quality amplification, bringing out the detail and dynamic range in everything from jazz and acoustic to electronic and cinematic recordings.

Its performance makes it equally suited as a surround speaker in a high-end home theatre setup, where it can serve as side or rear channels — delivering accurate spatial cues, immersive soundscapes, and seamless tonal integration with other Krix speakers.


Precision Drivers, Balanced Performance

At the heart of the Equinox Mk5 is a high-grade 130mm bass-midrange driver, featuring a doped curvilinear paper cone, an over-sized voice coil, and a powerful magnet assembly. This bespoke driver has been optimised for fast, articulate transient response and low distortion, offering tight, musical bass and a natural midrange that captures vocals and instruments with striking realism.

Complementing the low-frequency driver is a 26mm ring radiator tweeter with a central waveguide, designed to extend high-frequency response while maintaining superb dispersion and clarity. The tweeter delivers a delicate, airy top-end that never becomes fatiguing — perfect for extended listening sessions.

Together, these elements are housed within a bass reflex enclosure tuned for optimal efficiency and output, offering a clean, controlled low-end that integrates effortlessly with the upper registers. The result is a balanced, full-range sound with impressive scale and authority, regardless of the modest enclosure.


Designed and Handcrafted in Australia

Every Equinox Mk5 is proudly designed, engineered, and hand-assembled in South Australia — the heart of Krix’s award-winning manufacturing facility. Backed by over 45 years of experience, the Krix team brings cinema-grade loudspeaker expertise into your home through products that combine meticulous craftsmanship with cutting-edge acoustic design.

Krix doesn’t outsource or cut corners — each Equinox Mk5 speaker undergoes rigorous testing and quality control, ensuring it meets the highest standards in tonal consistency, build quality, and durability. When you choose Krix, you’re not just investing in a product; you’re supporting Australian-made precision audio built to perform for decades.


Timeless Design, Tailored to Your Space

The Equinox Mk5 may be compact, but its visual design is anything but ordinary. Its clean, contemporary lines are crafted to blend elegantly with both modern and traditional interiors. But where the Equinox truly stands out is in its customisation options.

Krix offers a wide range of bespoke finish choices, from classic woodgrain to bold, contemporary colours — all applied by hand to furniture-grade standards. For those with unique design needs, you can even supply your own veneer, allowing the Equinox Mk5 to be perfectly matched to your cabinetry, furniture, or joinery. Whether you're integrating into a minimalist media room, a heritage home, or a custom-built listening space, the Equinox can be finished to match your exact aesthetic vision.


Versatile Placement. High-End Sound Anywhere.

Thanks to its front-ported bass reflex design, the Equinox Mk5 can be placed close to walls, tucked into bookshelves, or mounted on high-quality speaker stands without compromising performance. This flexibility makes it ideal for discreet audio installations where space is at a premium but expectations remain high.

Pair it with a high-fidelity amplifier for a serious two-channel setup, or use it as part of a reference-grade multi-channel surround system alongside Krix centre, subwoofer, and floorstanding models.


For the Ultimate Sound Experience at Home, Play it Through Krix

The Krix Equinox Mk5 proves that size doesn't limit sophistication. Compact and beautifully constructed, yet bursting with musical authority and detail, it's the ideal solution for audiophiles who demand high-end performance in spaces where traditional loudspeakers simply won’t fit.

Handcrafted in Australia, customisable to your space, and engineered to delight — the Equinox Mk5 is a small speaker with a truly expansive soul.
