What Reviewers Are Saying
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Bass
92/100
Hifitest reports genuinely tactile deep bass beginning at 20Hz, with enough authority for demanding film soundtracks. It also found the V12+ equally capable with music, suggesting controlled low-end performance rather than cinema-only excess.
Integration
50/100
The review says the V12+ remains closely controlled by its DSP and amplifier up to its output limit, but it does not describe how seamlessly it blends with main speakers in a room. There is no direct evidence about localization, overhang, or whether the sub disappears into the system.
Dynamics
93/100
Hifitest specifically praises clean, well-defined and impulse-faithful performance, calling dynamics one of the V12+'s strengths. Output rose linearly across the range up to a substantial 105dB, supporting the impression of strong headroom without obvious strain.
Build Quality
50/100
The review describes a compact, living-room-friendly enclosure suited to professional-cinema bass, but offers little direct commentary on cabinet construction, finish quality, driver durability, or long-term reliability.
Features Usability
94/100
Bluetooth app control gives access to volume, continuously variable phase, crossover settings, delay and a four-band parametric equalizer. The automatic room-calibration option is especially useful, reducing the effort needed to get the subwoofer operating effectively in a real room.
Value for Money
91/100
Although no retail price is supplied here, Hifitest explicitly rates value for money as “very good.” Its enthusiastic recommendation of compact professional-cinema performance indicates that the reviewer sees the V12+ as competitively positioned against similarly capable home-theater subwoofers.

Manufacturer's Description — M&K Sound
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.”
