One way to eliminate the effects of room acoustics.

The other.


Due to room acoustics, no two rooms sound the same. KEF can't redesign your listening room, but with their proprietary Uni-Q loudspeakers you'll hear less of the room and more of the music.

Sound emanates from the KEF Uni-Q driver much as if it were a single point source. But with one fundamental difference--this is a point source with a fine sense of direction. In the Uni-Q driver, the woofer cone acts as a wave guide to control the dispersion within the room is not only reduced, but the music you hear is less colored.


above: Only the KEF of the tweeter, so that it Uni-O driver matches that of the woofer. Sound reflected places the tweeter inside the woofer's voice coil.

Using Neodymium-Iron-Boron, the most powerful of all magnetic materials, KEF was able to make a tweeter so small it can be placed inside a woofer's voice coil. Now the sound arrives at your ears at exactly the same time, giving you seamless sound no matter where you are sitting.

KEF Uni-Q is nothing short of an engineering breakthrough: the first truly coincident-source driver.

In addition to minimizing room colorations, KEF Uni-Q drivers, with their controlled directivity, produce rock-stable stereo images wherever you sit.

At last, accurate, undistorted sound has emerged from our laboratory.

And arrived safely in your listening room.
