Deliver the precision and power you need in your next home cinema project
The Krix UCX-218 Subwoofer has been painstakingly created to deliver the kind of bass performance that transforms good systems into great ones. The perfect combination of precision and power, this latest creation is designed for installers who are ambitious to push performance to new levels.
Whether gracing a private cinema or a high-performance media room, the UCX-218 delivers an experience that connects with viewers on an emotional level, helping them get even closer to the creator’s vision.
Redefining bass performance
At the heart of the UCX-218 are dual 18" high-excursion drivers, engineered to reproduce frequencies as low as 10Hz, delivering next-level infrasonic performance. This level of capability means the system does not just deliver bass you can hear, but bass you can feel.
If you are unfamiliar with the term, infrasonic bass refers to sound frequencies below 20Hz, often below the threshold of human hearing. While we might not hear these frequencies in the traditional sense, we absolutely feel them – and they produce heightened emotional responses to content. That gut-punch sensation during an explosion, the rumble of a spaceship or the heavy footsteps of a dinosaur all benefit hugely from infrasonic performance.
However, it is not only about the ‘big impact’ sounds. Filmmakers often use infrasonic tones to build suspense and create a sense of unease. You might not consciously hear a low drone in a horror or thriller scene, but your body reacts to it. The bass creates a subconscious response, increasing tension and realism, amplifying the cinematic experience in ways viewers may not always realise, but definitely remember.
Despite all this power, Krix is keen to point out that the UCX-218 is no blunt instrument. Thanks to its opposing driver configuration, vibration transfer is dramatically reduced, keeping the 91kg cabinet and surrounding environment stable, clean and controlled. This means no rattles, no hums, no resonance – just deep, immersive bass with finesse.
Flexible installation
Another key strength of the UCX-218 is its flexible installation. The speaker can be positioned vertically or horizontally, or used in multiples, making it a strong choice for a wide range of projects. Everything from compact cinemas to large-scale premium rooms and media rooms of all descriptions can be accommodated.
The UCX-218’s sealed enclosure provides tight, responsive performance that integrates perfectly with room acoustics, even in the most challenging environments. This makes the subwoofer a true 21st-century home cinema solution, ready for anything you can throw at it.

Steve Totterdell, Product Manager (High-end Audio) at Invision, enthusiastically sums up:
"KRIX’s ‘real Cinema at Home’ philosophy has always driven the company to deliver responsive, accurate highs, tight and powerful midrange, neutral voicing and punchy low end. What some dealers may have felt was missing was at the sub-20Hz level, the ‘FEEL’.
“So I am delighted to announce the launch of the 2 x 18in Infrasonic UCX-218 Subwoofer. No half measures, this is a seriously powerful and refined sub with enough headroom to deliver frequencies as low as 10Hz in the loudest largest home cinema system. Honestly, it is a game changer!”
