Miller & Kreisel Limited Edition Anniversary Subwoofer
Celebrating 50 Years of Deep Bass: The M&K 50th Anniversary Volkswoofer
In 1974, Miller & Kreisel (M&K) Sound revolutionized the audio industry with the introduction of the world's first self-powered subwoofer, the original Volkswoofer. Fast forward to 2024, M&K commemorates its 50th anniversary by unveiling a limited-edition reimagining of this iconic subwoofer, blending vintage aesthetics with modern technology.
A Legacy of Innovation
M&K Sound's journey began in the early 1970s when Ken Kreisel and Jonas Miller collaborated to create high-fidelity audio equipment that met the rigorous demands of professional studios and audiophiles alike. Their innovations, such as the satellite-subwoofer system and the push-pull driver configuration, set new standards in sound reproduction. The original Volkswoofer, introduced in 1977, was a testament to their commitment to delivering deep, accurate bass in a compact form.
