Gary Krix (ILF 2019)
Since 1974, an Adelaide company has been designing, engineering and manufacturing some of the world’s top-performing speaker systems for cinemas, music-obsessed audiophiles and at-home movie buffs.
When Scott Krix sat down to engineer his first-ever speaker system in 1974 all he had was a “pair of pliers, a hacksaw and a hammer”. Now, 50 years down the track, the founder of high-end speaker brand Krix works with better gear. What hasn’t changed, however, is his commitment to high standards and customer service. Based at Hackham in Adelaide’s south, Krix makes speakers for home entertainment, home cinemas, and commercial cinemas. These aren’t the mini Bluetooth speakers you struggle to connect to at a house party – they’re for audio-obsessed types willing and able to spend thousands on the best sound money can buy.
