Thanks to their internal Magnetic Shielding, these loudspeakers may be used close-to or beside a television set or video monitor, when used
in front left and right channel positions in Home Theatre or Surround Sound applications. The centre speakers 202c and 204c also have
shielded inductors in the crossover network in case they need to be sighted immediately adjacent to TV monitors. The centre loudspeakers
also include a bass adjustment for TV or wall mounting, plus a high frequency boost facility for when they need to mounted behind a
perforated screen.
All models are timbre matched to each other so combining different models in an AV system is no problem. Extra Reference loudspeakers
can be added to your system with the knowledge that the system tonal balance and integration will be maintained.
Wide entry, gold-plated tri-wire/tri-amp terminals are fitted to the custom-designed moulded terminal assembly at the rear of the speaker
cabinet. This allows the use of the many different gauges of speaker cable that are available.
Chrome plated flat feet, turned from solid brass, and carpet piercing spikes are supplied to allow optimum coupling to flat floors or carpet.
1.2 Model 201
This is a four-way loudspeaker designed primarily for high quality reproduction as a main speaker in small rooms or as a high quality satellite
speaker in AV systems where space is at a premium. Model 201 has four drive units, two of which are combined in the single 165mm (6.5”)
Uni-Q

driver array. A 165mm (6.5”) fibre reinforced pulp cone bass unit mounted in a reflex enclosure and the 19mm titanium dome
Hypertweeter

complete the driver line up.
1.3 Model 203
Model 203 is a floorstanding four-way loudspeaker with five drive units designed for high quality reproduction in medium sized rooms or
where space is limited. Two 165mm (6.5”) drive units in IDL configuration handle bass frequencies, the mid-range and high frequencies are
handled by the Uni-Q driver array and the Hypertweeter extends the response smoothly into the ultrasonic region.
1.4 Model 205
Five drive units in a four-way configuration are employed in the Model 205. The single Uni-Q driver array for upper mid-range and high
frequencies, the 19mm Hypertweeter for the very high frequencies and a pair of 200mm (8”) drive units in IDL configuration for low
frequencies. This system works optimally in medium to large rooms where its controlled and extended bass lays a strong foundation to the
superior imaging of the Uni-Q driver array.
1.5 Model 207
The flagship of the new KEF Reference range, Model 207 is designed to faithfully reproduce the full bandwidth and dynamics of music signals.
It is a no compromise design where acoustic performance is the prime objective.
A complex, fully fourth order, high-quality, hand-soldered dividing network and six drive units are utilised in the Model 207. The dividing
network has its cross-over points at 125Hz, 400Hz, 2.8kHz and 15kHz and smoothly directs appropriate frequencies to the relevant drive
units. The 19mm Hypertweeter and 165mm (6.5”) Uni-Q driver array used in the other Reference Series speakers are used for upper-mid,
high and very high frequencies. A 250mm (10”) lower mid-range unit fitted within its own individual compartment and two 250mm (10”)
fibre reinforced pulp-cone bass units, mounted in IDL configuration, complete the driver complement.
1.6 Model 202c
202c is a centre channel loudspeaker designed primarily to match the 201 and 203 main speakers. It uses the same drive unit complement
as the 203 and, like the larger 204c is timbre matched the other Reference loudspeakers thereby allowing a seamlessly integrated 3D
soundstage to be set up in the listening room. Although it can be mounted on top of a typical widescreen TV the size has been chosen to
allow it to be mounted more conveniently underneath the TV within the typical dimensions of a 32” widescreen TV stand.
1.7 Model 204c
Truly a statement centre channel loudspeaker, the 204c fully exploits the dynamics and bandwidth of modern AV soundtracks. With about
70% of a typical soundtrack coming from the centre channel it makes sense to make this loudspeaker a truly capable one. Four 165mm (6.5”)
LF units combine with the 165mm Uni-Q driver array and the 19mm Hypertweeter in a four way reflex system which, like the 202c, not
only has a bass level adjustment for close to wall mounting but also a treble boost facility for mounting behind a perforated screen.
Four standard rubber feet are supplied plus two larger ones which when fitted at the front edge of the cabinet allow the speaker to be tilted
upwards towards the listener. In addition, a dedicated stand is available for the 202c and 204c centre loudspeakers which allows them to be
securely mounted for optimum performance.
