对于两声道的贡献
M&K 在1973年以录音起家,创立了当年第一座LP直刻录音室(RealTime录音室), 并克服了许多技术困难, 以独特的直刻录音技术, 发行了许多发烧LP. 什么是直刻录音? 就是在录制专辑时, 请演奏者当场在录音室演唱, 如果有10首歌曲, 则演唱者要一连将10首歌曲唱完, 混音师则在现场一边录制一边操作器材进行混音, 这在当时的技术上来说有许多困难, 稍有不慎, 整盘直刻录音就功败垂成, 这有一点像是现在的现场演唱会一样, 不同的是即使利用现代的录音技术来制作这一类发烧软件, 还是具备很高的困难性. 在当时, M&K制作了一系列用于直刻录音的特制麦克风与混音器, 整套设备价值150,000美元, M&K的直刻录音技术, 造就了闻名的For Duke爵士专辑, 至今此专辑还是被国外评鉴为极品LP录音. 在70年代末期, M&K又投入了数码采样录音的研究, 并且改造了索尼16bit数码录音机, 成功的带领美国两声道录音进入数码CD时代, 在美国率先发行了第一张CD. 直到今天, M&K在Skip Sayor录音室继续着他的直刻录音技术研究, 并且已经发行了20多张音质超群的发烧CD. |

超低音之父在70年代, 世界上还没有任何音箱可以完整回放For Duke专辑里头的超低音, 于是Ken Kreisel开始进入制造高性能音箱与超低音炮的研究, 最后制造了世界上第一颗超低音单元并且制定了M&K的音箱+超低音炮的技术平台. 最后这套技术平台以产品的形式出现, 帮助了当时许多录音室实现具备临场感的直刻录音. 更在1977年推出了世界上第一颗主动式电子分频超低音炮.
导管式高音之父
在成为超低音的领导厂商之后, 90年代M&K聚集了雄厚的录音技术, 为解决音箱高音单体失真对于录音品质的破坏, 决心研发超低失真的高音单元, 并且将这种技术进行量产运用于一般价位的音箱, M&K所研发的超低失真高音单元称为Transmission Line Tweeter 线性传输高音单元, 又称之为导管式高音单元. 这种高音单元能以极低的失真回放各种乐器所能产生的高频响应, 原理是在高音振盆之后加上一条细长的导管, 导管经过精密计算压模成型, 并且于1992年成功的量产. 这项革命性的技术与设计理念后来成为许多音箱厂模仿的对象, 并给予各式各样不同的名称.
对于多声道影院的贡献
早在70年代, M&K就针对两声道提出了超低音必须单独管理的概念, 并且成功的研制成系统产品推出市场, 在当时, M&K也是世界上第一家公司参与了THX的机制认证, 成为当时第一家通过THX认证的音箱制造厂, 到如今乔治卢卡斯THX公司一直把M&K音箱当作参考音箱, 成为产业界THX音箱的参考标准.
这对于后来的多声道格式的制定影响很大, 特别是90年代初期杜比实验室研发真正的5.1多声道格式AC-3时加入了多声道低音管理机制, 在AC-3(就是现在的Dolby Digital)研发过程, 几位杜比的核心工程师在乔治卢卡斯影业THX的SkyWalker录音室听到了M&K的5000THX音箱系统, 对其优异的电影与音乐的重拨性极其推荐, 最后购买了整套5000THX音箱系统当成他们研发AC-3时的参考音箱, 到现在M&K的S-150系统成为杜比实验室的标准配备, 位于全世界的各地的杜比实验室都指定配备M&K S-150音箱, 在中国的上海杜比实验室也配置了这套系统. 后来DTS也采用了M&K音箱系统当成他们的参考音箱.
Dolby, DTS, THX 这三家重量级多声道格式研发公司的联手推荐, M&K成为产业界多声道系统的标准, 因为如今配置于世界上几亿部家用功放, DVD机里面的多声道译码就是使用M&K音箱监听研发而出. 所有的多声道电影更是以Dolby, DTS与THX数码音效处理而录制.
现在美国联邦HDTV高解像电视委员会 FCC Advanced Television Standards Committee 在他们的实验室里也使用了M&K音箱系统为参考, 向世界各地推广美国的HDTV标准.

M&K Introduces a new standard in subwoofer
technology: Push-Pull drivers, used in the MX
Series. This is achieved by mounting the driver in
the bottom of the cabinet backwards and wiring it
backwards as well. Doing so causes both speakers
to move in the same direction with one of the drivers
physically inverted. The result is cleaner, tighter and
more musical bass reproduction, with less harmonic
distortion and improved linearity
?M&K研发了Push-Pull Dual-Driver双推挽超低音
技术,并装置在MX-2000超低音炮上. |
