In daily use in hundreds of professional studios around the world, the MK Sound Professional MPS 2510P is an updated, further refinement of the classic MK Sound Professional powered monitor with musical sound, wide dynamics and excellent imaging that make it the choice of professionals and perfectionists.

Occupying less than a single cubic foot, the compact MK Sound 2510P system produces amazing output levels with tremendous clarity, extraordinary dialog intelligibility and ultra-low distortion.

MK Professional’s top-of-the-line MPS 2510P compact powered reference monitor is designed for music, mastering, broadcast and film sound post-production in medium-sized control rooms (3,500 cubic feet or a monitoring distance of six to eight feet).The bi-amplified MPS 2510P is THX pm3-compliant and features switchable 80 Hz highpass filtering and continuously variable gain control.
To eliminate inevitable high-level signal losses that can restrict dynamic range and diminish output, MPS 2510P does away with passive crossovers, employing instead an active network coupled with separate 180 Watt amplifiers for the HF and LF transducers built into each speaker.
User-selectable vertical directivity via a rear panel switch facilitates optimal integration in a wide range of monitoring environments. Narrow Mode ensures controlled directivity for focused sound at the main monitoring position. If desired, Narrow Mode also allows the user to configure a vertical array by stacking multiple speakers, either for higher SPL or for coverage of larger rooms. Wide Mode covers a deeper seating area for listeners at a producer’s desk behind the mixer.
A front panel LED confirms correct front speaker alignment, when it is clearly visible at the listening position.
MPS 2510P is the expert solution designed to accommodate the demands of serious professionals in a wide array of mixing environments for everything from desktop systems to game development to control rooms and dubbing theatres.

Exclusive MK Sound Professional Drivers

Developed for our market leading professional studio monitors, MPS 2510P and MPS 1611P, the custom designed MK Sound high frequency drive unit applies classic MK Sound innovation and attention to detail to eliminate high frequency smearing and phase/combing anomalies. The result is a breakthrough level of high frequency performance worthy of the MK Sound brand name.

The all-new MK tweeter breaks away from the industry convention of offering drivers with standardized impedance values. Instead, the impedance of the MK tweeter is designed to match specific component values to ensure total control of the frequency range.

Continuing the MK Sound legacy of high frequency transparency and focus, this exceptionally fast and accurate open-back pro driver incorporates a coated silk dome with lightweight, copper-clad aluminum wiring for low mass and high sensitivity, a vented, high sensitivity ferrofluid cooled voice coil for reduced compression at large excursions, a calibrated waveguide for controlled directivity and smooth integration with mid/bass drivers and a cast aluminum front plate bolted directly to the magnet system for improved mechanical stability.

The semi-shielded magnet system is based on a large ferrite double magnet to optimize distribution of magnetic flux in the air gap. The build-up of a captive air volume behind the dome is prevented thanks to a double flow resistor foam plug in the vented pole piece for enhanced speed and precision across the high frequency range and unique low-compression rear chamber tubes are employed for minimal distortion and controlled transient response, especially at the bottom end of the driver’s range.

Dual 5.25” mid/bass drivers featuring polypropylene cones with straight walls and a cupped spider for maximum excursion are recessed into the baffle. The 1” voice coil is wound on an aluminum bobbin. The gasketed frame is cast aluminum and the woofer is shielded by means of a counter magnet within a can. The pole piece has a cavity behind a porous cloth dustcap to allow pressure release. The surround is a high quality half-roll butyl rubber.

As is true of each and every individual component that goes into every single MK Sound loudspeaker, all MK Sound Professional drivers are designed by professionals for professionals.
