17.2 Speaker Connection Test
The speaker connection test in KEF Connect shows you how much network bandwidth
is available to your KEF wireless speaker system. It considers every stage of your
network by downloading a file from a random server to the speakers – from the
bandwidth provided by your internet service provider (ISP) and server traffic, all the
way to the speed of the connection between your router and speakers. The other
value shown is the ‘ping.’ This is a signal we use to check if the server is reachable and
tells us how long it takes.
What speeds are needed for different services?
Different music streaming services have different recommendations depending on the
audio file sizes involved:
Service
Minimum Recommended Bandwidth
Tidal (Master tier)
2 Mbps
Amazon Music (Ultra HD)
5-10 Mbps
Amazon Music (HD)
1.5 – 2 Mbps
Deezer
5 Mbps
Qobuz
10 Mbps
Note that these are minimum dedicated speeds recommended by the services
themselves. KEF recommends 13 Mbps or above dedicated bandwidth to ensure stable
streaming of large high resolution music files.
What this means is that your total network bandwidth must exceed the total
bandwidth requirements of all devices on the network. If your active network devices
need more bandwidth than what is available, then you may experience slower speeds,
reduced performance and dropouts. This is not as much of a problem for web
browsing or file downloads (except for being slower) but is especially problematic for
music streaming.
