M&K has recently closed its factory so there is no warranty.
M&K Sound introduces its new TRIPOLE SURROUND MATRIX™ technology. This technology allows the reproduction of 5 channels of dynamic spectacular sound, including the two back channels, from just one small cabinet which can be easily mounted (such as with an Omnimount ™) on the wall above or below a Plasma TV, or sitting on top of a tube or big screen TV.
Originally developed for the M&K professional line of loudspeakers for use in broadcast and post production studios, this high-performance speaker also performs superbly in the home environment.

It's finally here! The MP-4512 is the breakthrough product that solves the decorating problem of not having to place surround speakers in your living space but still allowing you to hear real M&K quality 5-channel surround sound from your favorite films and music. Amazing!
This incredible speaker has nothing in common with other products that combine psychoacoustic trickery and cheap speakers in a plastic cabinet to produce a pseudo-surround that can be heard only in a single “sweet-spot.” In fact, the MP-4512 produces five distinct channels of sound from five distinct speakers, creating real surround sound that can be heard through virtually the entire room.
Thanks to its pro heritage, this is a purebred M&K speaker. The MP-4512 incorporates M&K's ultra-high-performance high-output Danish built woofer and ferrofluid cooled tweeter drivers for each of the left, center, and right front channels, plus two high-performance wide-range drivers to produce the Tripole™ left and right surround channels.

One of the secrets to the spectacular performance and power handling of the MP-4512 is the use of M&K's new Danish made tweeter, the MK Z26 Neodymium 1" soft-cloth-dome. The goal of the Z26 was to achieve a similar sound signature and performance as our professional Z16 tweeter, but in a smaller package. This very special high performance tweeter, which looks similar to our earlier 1" Neodymium tweeters, utilizes a new 1" dome based upon the cloth material used in our Z16 tweeter and a very high temperature ferrofluid cooled voice coil . The steel structure of the Z26 has a highly effective integrated heat sink which further helps dissipate heat at high sound levels resulting in near perfect linearity even at calibrated Dolby studio sound levels.

With its lacquer painted MDF wood cabinet, M&K precision SUPER-PHASE-FOCUSED™ professional crossovers, and special high power handling heat sink cooled tweeter drivers, this speaker produces full Dolby sound levels with an incredibly large sonic image that invokes the quality of M&K's professional studio monitors and belies its 4-1/2" H x 18-1/4" W x 5-1/2 D compact size. Simply amazing performance!
Combine the MP-4512 with any one of the legendary M&K powered subwoofers, and you'll have a complete, full-bandwidth 5.1 channel surround system that delivers tremendous dynamic excitement and a powerful low end – in just two cabinets!
