Sound reproduction should be invisible -
you want surround sound, with the hardware
as unobtrusive as possible. Trouble is,
conventional home theatre systems require at
least five speakers and a subwoofer to be
placed around the room, regardless of how
they fit with the rest of your furniture decor.
That’s why we came up with an alternative.
As its name implies, the new
five
two
series
envelops you in the surround sound of a full
5.1 set-up using only two speakers and a
subwoofer (optional).
Whether you choose the compact model 7
(with seven drivers in each speaker) or the
formidable model 11 (with no less than
eleven), the effect is amazing. Voices sound
real and precisely located. Ambient effects
travel through a realistic three-dimensional
soundscape as the director intended.
On screen action comes alive for everyone in
the room, wherever they sit.
They can be mounted either on neat
adjustable wall brackets or floor stands -
and in line with the thinking behind the whole
concept, they’re exceptionally simple to set up.
All you have to do is connect the cables
supplied to your 5.1 home theatre
receiver/amp.
The secret lies in combining KEF’s acclaimed
Uni-Q “sit anywhere” driver concept with
NXT flat panel technology. Each speaker
has a front-firing array of Uni-Q drivers from
the award-winning 5000 and 6000 Series,
providing true dedicated centre speakers as
well as spreading a highly detailed sound image
to your left and right.
Behind them, large vertical flat panels act as
high performance rear effect speakers,
radiating the relevant parts of the signal to the
back of the listening area.
And all the channels can be separately
adjusted from your receiver to achieve a
perfectly balanced sound.
Available in high gloss black or matt
silver finishes.
