M&K Sound is proud to announce the availability of the brand-new Compact V12 subwoofer, an upgraded version of the small-footprint and living room friendly V12.

Introducing three new compact, lifestyle-friendly, high-performance subwoofers, the V15+, V12+ and V10+, with single 15-inch, 12-inch and 10-inch drivers, respectively. The three new small-footprint subwoofers, two of which have earned legendary THX® Certification and are M&K® App-enabled (V15+ and V12+), promise to deliver deep and accurate bass to consumers in an affordable package.

Increased amplifier power output over the former V Series for all three new V+ subwoofers. Furthermore, the V15+ represents the first 15-inch driver enclosure to join the V family of products, while the V10+ and V12+ have had their deep bass frequency response extended from 25Hz (on the former V12 and V10 models) down to a thunderous 20Hz (-6dB).

The compact V+ Series subwoofers offer new curved and tapered external housings, making them both discreet and ideal for placement within family rooms or design-conscious environments. The manageable cuboid form factors include perfect square faceplates measuring 18.5 inches2 (V15+), 15.5 inches2 (V12+), and 13.5 inches2 (V10+).

Our team of engineers have increased the amplifier power output over the former V Series for all three new V+ subwoofers. Furthermore, the V15+ represents the first 15-inch driver enclosure to join the V family of products, while the V10+ and V12+ have had their deep bass frequency response extended from 25Hz (on the former V12 and V10 models) down to a thunderous 20Hz (-6dB).

Both the V15+ and V12+ subwoofers enable configuration from the comfort of a seated position via the convenient, downloadable M&K App, available at the Apple Store or Google Play Store. As well as adjustments to volume, crossover frequency, delay and phase, the state-of-the-art M&K App provides onboard control options for new owners to set up Manual EQ and Auto EQ parameters.

Manual EQ allows users to adjust frequency, gain and ‘Q’ of four independent EQs. Auto EQ compensates and corrects for acoustical room anomalies which can cause inferior bass performance. By taking measurements in and around the prime listening position, the proprietary M&K App applies acoustical corrections to deliver optimized listening conditions and reference bass performance in any home environment

The 15-inch V15+ has achieved THX® Certified Ultra status and the 12-inch V12+ has achieved THX® Certified Select status, meaning each can attain professional cinema audio reference levels in rooms of up to 3,000ft3 and 2,000ft3, respectively. The THX gold seal of excellence verifies the consumer can expect enjoyment of movie soundtracks “as the director intended.”

Overall Score 85/100

Nicely Roasted

The V12+ delivers deep, controlled bass from a sealed 12" long-throw driver and a 400W RMS/800W peak amp, with THX Select certification for mid-to-large rooms. App-controlled DSP (low-pass, phase, EQ) and a headroom limiter give precise integration and setup flexibility, a combination that Robert Silva highlights as a standout for music and home theater.

Pros

THX Select certification and tuning geared to rooms up to ~2,000 cu ft, providing calibrated home‑theater performance.
Sealed 12" long-throw driver driven by 400W RMS / 800W peak amplification delivers tight, controlled low-frequency impact.
Robust app-controlled features (variable low-pass, phase, parametric EQ, auto room EQ) plus a headroom limiter for precise integration.

Cons

Lower LF extension than the larger V15+—the V12+ typically reaches to ~25 Hz under optimum conditions versus the V15+'s ~20 Hz.
THX Select (not THX Ultra), so it’s less optimized for the very largest rooms or the deepest reference‑scale bass demands.

Sound Quality

89/100

Bass

90/100

Sealed 12" long-throw driver, 400 W RMS (800 W peak) and published in-room response to 20 Hz ±3 dB with nearfield -6 dB at 18 Hz indicate deep, controlled extension for a cabinet this size. No independent listening measurements or reviewer comparisons to larger reference subs were provided, so score is generous but conservative vs. true reference class.

Dynamics

86/100

Robust amplifier (400 W RMS, 800 W peak), long-throw driver and a headroom limiter/maximizer suggest strong transient control and available headroom for impactful slam. Absent listening reports, this score is based on the hardware specification and protective DSP provision rather than measured dynamic behavior.

Integration

78/100

App-controlled low-pass (43–300 Hz) and 0–360° phase control plus line-level left/right in/out give the tools for tight blending, but there are no review/listening outcomes showing how it 'disappears' or performs with mains. Features ≠ Integration; add outcome evidence or lower Integration.

Build Quality

86/100

Compact, heavy-feeling package (21.2 kg) with satin finishes and included accessories implies solid construction consistent with M&K's reputation. No tear-downs or durability reviews were supplied; score leans on spec and brand pedigree.

Features Connectivity

88/100

App-controlled variable low-pass and phase, line-level L/R in/out, auto power, headroom limiter and selectable controls provide modern DSP and integration conveniences. The feature set is strong for placement flexibility and setup.

Value for Money

75/100

Price was not supplied (price: N/A), so value assessment is limited; the hardware and feature set suggest good value for a high-quality sealed 12" sub, but absence of pricing and independent review verdicts prevents a higher rating.
