KEF K SERIES
Maintaining a tradition of excellence

Since its inception in 1961, and in everyone of the
suceeding thirty years, KEF has proved time and time
again that the key to exceilence in loudspeaker sound
reproduction iies in attention to detail at every ievel
and stage of the design and manufacturing process.

For the whole of that exciting period, whilst the KEF
Reference Series has provided a series of major
advances in ioudspeaker technoiogy, KEF's more
aflordabie models have rareiy been out of the best­selier iists, providing maximum performance at
minimum cost -in other words, vaiue for money.
These modeis too, have benefitted from a production
faciiity designed to achieve unprecedented ieveis of
consistency -the KEF cornerstone

The very first KEF compact speaker, in 1961 was the
K1, a three-way baffle available in several formats.
Since then, an honourable tradition of music-related
'C' series names has held sway. In this thirtieth
anniversary year, the initial 'K' returns to identify three
models, each of which embodies the principles,
experience, and tradition learned and earned during
the past three decades.

Careful attention to both visual and acoustic design
means that the 'K' Series models are as easy and
attractive to integrate into a home environment as
they are capable of reproducing today's sometimes
complex and demanding recordings in a lifelike and
convincing manner

With their attractively 'Iouvred' baffle design, the 'K's

look as good with their grilles removed -and there

are no unsightly driver fixing screws to spoil their

good looks.

High sensitivity means good headroom to cope with

the dynamic demands of modern recordings. An

easy 8-ohm (min 5 ohms) ioad gives even
moderately-powered amplifiers no driving probiems.

The sound balance of each modei was only finaiised

after many hundreds of hours of critical iistening, in
many iocations, and a bass aiignment chosen after
lengthy consideration of the iikeiy conditions of use.

The KEF 'K' Series represents an unbeatable
combination of quality, performance, and price. Thirty
years on, the KEF tradition of excellence is once
more upheld.

K120
In the design of small loudspeakers every parameter

becomes more critical. Only a 'complete system'
approach, as employed by KEF, is likely to bring
success Careful study of drive units, crossover and
enclosure, separately and together, with their
interactions, is the means to produce a musically
integrated sound KEF system design techniques
have, in the K120, produced a supremely musical
small box, designed to produce its specified
response when operated on a shelf, or stand­mounted close to a wall
The K120 is a compact two-way speaker which
sounds much larger than it looks The lightweight
160mm (65") bass/midrange unit provides
uncoloured, fast bass response, whilst the 25mm (1 ")
fluid-cooled tweeter offers accurate, uncompressed
high frequency performance of exceptional clarity A
deeper-than-average cabinet gives an internal
volume, and therefore a bass performance that belies
its compact frontal aspect Ideal for a first or second
system, an audio-visual installation, or as satellites for
a subwoofer, the K120 is a truly outstanding
miniature
