Australia’s Most Celebrated Brand, Krix, Celebrates 50 Years

One of the most celebrated Australian hi-fi and AV brands, Krix, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024 with year-long celebrations planned.

Established in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1974, Krix has become synonymous with innovation, quality, and a passion for exceptional sound in both commercial cinema and residential audio worldwide.

Marking 50 years as a manufacturer, let alone a loudspeaker manufacturer, is no small feat and is a testament to the family business' unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled audio experiences.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a customer or retailer with a bad thing to say about Krix. From the top down, Krix is a family business that extends to its partners around the globe. It's no wonder the company is thriving after five decades, and we're confident someone will be writing this story once again in another fifty years. Krix has added a great page and timeline to its website all about the last fifty years, and we encourage you to check it out here.
