Miller & Kreisel S150 Speaker
The legendary S150 is the culmination of more than 40 years of loudspeaker design and acoustic solution for any critical audio and video recordings. What this updated version of the legendary studio monitor does in the conveyance of exactly what is there in the recorded source, no more and no less, is difficult to formulate in just a few words. Essentially, it does pretty much nothing, except open up a wide, clean, clear window on every aspect of recorded sound, allowing you to shift your personal focus as you choose between specific details, instruments or voices, while never losing sight of the totality of the overall musical experience.
This is THE loudspeaker: Superior quality. Futuristic performance. Introducing the new Miller & Kreisel S150
The first true update to the classic M&K S150 speaker, the new Miller & Kreisel S150 redefines sound quality and performance. The S150 is still the speaker to beat when it comes to reference monitors for professional cinema sound design or stereo recording. The new Miller & Kreisel S150 builds upon that impressive legacy by updating the design with new acoustic technology refinements.
It’s hard to beat perfection. That’s why we’ve strived to perfect it. We’ve taken the innovative high-performance technologies from the S300 and integrated them into the new Miller & Kreisel S150. These upgrades bring the Miller & Kreisel S150 into the future and deliver new levels of sound quality to the most demanding customers in the world.
No coloration or hyped frequencies. What you hear is what you get. The Miller & Kreisel S150 redefines what perfection is while providing a clearer sense of presence. They deliver an impressively transparent soundstage that maintains the three-dimensionality, body, weight and emotional impact, ideal choice for home theater installations.
Built on the S300
New Danish-designed high-performance tweeters
New 5.25-inch woofers
New optimized crossovers
Bass Power and midrange finesse
The exclusive, custom designed MK Sound 5.25” bass/midrange drive unit represents the culmination of over three decades of intensely focused transducer design. While most loudspeaker manufacturers make specious boasts that their drivers are “heavily modified to their specifications,” the drivers used in the MK Sound 150 range are in fact designed in-house by full-time engineers that have been instrumental in the design of MK Sound transducers for more than two decades.
Because MK Sound alone dictates the specifications for our drive units down to the very last detail, based on extensive original experimentation and research, our loudspeakers are not subject to the changing whims and fads of standard off-the-shelf drive units.
MK Sound proudly works to a higher, stricter standard, implementing meaningful changes as technology advances.
The dual 5.25” 150 woofer configuration employs a pin-cushion basket design with narrow basket flange to permit close placement of two woofers on a compact baffle. Modest baffle dimensions ensure structural integrity, while eliminating destructive diffraction phenomena.
A completely open cast aluminum basket structure with four solid pillars allows unimpeded airflow on both sides of the cone and around all moving parts for immediate heat dissipation. Unlike conventional baskets designed with a plateau for spider mounting, the MK design team opted for a cup spider design, ensuring absolutely free airflow.
The development of cone and surround, crucial components with major impact on ultimate sound quality, was a collaborative effort with Peerless, leading Danish transducer specialists intimately familiar with MK Sound’s design objectives after decades as supplier and partner.
Working closely, MK Sound and the Peerless transducer team (Among the world’s foremost transducer designers, Peerless was founded in Denmark in 1926.) developed a breakthrough cone geometry, optimized to work in combination with a unique polypropylene based diaphragm material. The Polypropylene base, infused with 20% carefully selected minerals, provides a perfect balance between cone stiffness and internal damping.
The woofer’s low reflectivity cone is the result of a carefully calibrated combination of materials and geometry with a low-loss SBR rubber surround and edge resonance stabilizer.

The woofer’s low reflectivity cone is the result of a carefully calibrated combination of materials and geometry with a low-loss SBR rubber surround and edge resonance stabilizer.
The cone geometry follows a straight line for the surface area beyond the dust cap with a small radius shape under the dust cap. As the earliest cone break-up modes generally occur close to the voice coil, the advanced mathematics underlying the cone geometry provides substantial attenuation of travelling waves well before they reach the edge of the cone, resulting in significantly reduced edge resonances.
The unstrained clarity and sonic purity that have been the hallmark of the MK Sound 150 range from the very beginning are in large part a direct result of this conscientious, innovative design work.
The MK woofer features a thermally stable voice coil wound on an aluminum former. The former ensures linear damping for strict system control even at high sound pressure levels.
The thermally stable voice coil, capable of operating at up to 250 degrees Celsius, is symmetrically mounted in a strontium ferrite magnet system to function as an overhung coil in the gap, for reliable, consistent handling of powerful transients and sustained high output. Unlike most magnetic materials that lose power at temperature extremes, the MK Strontium magnet retains full power across a broad temperature spectrum.
The magnet system generates a linear magnetic field across the full coil length even at maximum excursion (+/- 3.5 mm), for minimal distortion all the way up to the driver’s maximum output levels.
A shielding magnet and can are added to minimize stray field emissions and to focus additional flux in the gap. These uncompromising methods ensure that the driver continues to meet its strict performance requirements for years to come.
With a mere 8.5 gram of moving mass, the MK Sound bass/mid unit is capable of lightning fast, accurate response across its entire operating range with a firm grip even on the most complicated program material.
It is this extreme level of precision and effortless, natural sound reproduction that continues to make the MK Sound 150 range the choice of professionals and enthusiasts.
