In addition to the on-wall speaker, MK Sound will be introducing the first in-ceiling speaker for the company. This new speaker will be known as the IW5 and features a 4-inch midbass driver and 1-inch neodymium dome tweeter. MK Sound offers the choice of square or round magnet-mounted grilles, which are a paintable white.

The first floorstanding speaker is the 950F, which is a floorstanding version of MK Sound's 950 monitor. The 950F is 48 inches tall and narrow to create a minimal footprint. It has a metal mesh curved grille that is reportedly acoustically inert.

The on-wall speaker, the MP7, is a reduced-depth version of the in-room M7 from MK Sound. It reportedly retains the M7's internal volume to retain the audio quality of a full-size compact speaker.

The three new subs are powered models, the X8, X10, and X12. In each sub, the drivers have been arranged in a push-pull configuration.
