People who know sound,know KEF.
It’s a name that commands such respect because we’ve never
been a ‘me too’ manufacturer. Ever since the early days of hi-fi,
our approach has been driven by a passionate belief in the power
of new materials, new technologies and design ingenuity to
heighten the enjoyment of recorded sound.
This is as true today as it was back in ’61,when KEF was founded
by Raymond Cooke, which is why KEF speakers have ranked
among the finest in the world in every decade since.
In that time, KEF has pioneered many landmark innovations.
New diaphragm materials. Neoprene damping. The use of
computer modelling in research and quality control.
Digital testing to unprecedented tolerances. Total system design
methods. Conjugate load network techniques. And arguably
the greatest breakthrough of all: the UNI-Q
®
array,
based on technology originally developed for the NASA space
programme and protected by world wide patents. No other
manufacturer has done more to advance the principles of
loudspeaker engineering,and none is better placed to exploit the
potential of the latest digital formats.
Separating out the mid-range and high frequency drivers
into their own pods has long been a KEF tradition dating
all the way back to 1977 with the worlds first speaker
to do this, the Model 105. This technology lives on today in the
Model 207 flagship.
KEF - THE FACTS AND THE FEELING
‘Fresh ideas are what we breathe - but only obsession with detail can make them work’
Raymond Cooke MBE 1925 - 1996
Founder of KEF
KEF Production Facility at Maidstone
Model 105 1977-79 Model 105/4 1980-82 Model 105/2 1982-87 Model 107 1986-89 Model 107/2 1990-96 Model 207 2001
POD TECHNOLOGY
The continuing evolution of KEF’s legendary Reference Series has
always been based on the concept of benchmark precision.
Every time a new generation of models is developed to
incorporate more sophisticated technologies,w e build pr ototypes
that are as close to perfection as possible.These then become the
‘Reference’ to which every single production version must
conform,each set assembled by a skilled craftsman who matches
their performance to a tolerance of just 0.5dB.
As the latest incarnation of this approach, the Reference Series
is a quantum leap forward in audiophile quality sound.
In fact, its performance envelope extends well beyond the range
of human hearing.
This is not as futile as it may at first sound - whereas con ventional
CDs carry no audio information beyond 20kHz, extended
bandwidth formats such as SACD and DVD Audio contain signals
up to 40kHz and more. Consider the analogy that even though
no-one drives at 200 mph, cars that are engineered to do so are
inherently better performers at lower speeds.
That’s why all new Reference series models come
with a state of the art 19mm (
3
/4”) titanium
dome Hypertweeter
TM
for massively
extended HF performance. Mounted in low
diffraction, chrome-plated steel enclosures
time aligned with the main array,they deliv er
flat response to 55kHz and useful energy up to
80kHz.What you hear is a sweeter,more natural sound.
Radical new UNI-Q
®
driver arrays - the ultimate r efinement
of KEF’s trademark technology - where the tweeter is
mounted at the acoustic centre of the midrange cone provide an immaculate single point source, the Holy Grail
of loudspeaker design. With the midrange cone and
surround integrated into a single Uni-Form moulding,
there are no discontinuities to distort the HF energy from
the 25mm (1”) elliptical profile titanium dome tweeter.
With only midrange frequencies to handle, movement of
the UNI-Q cone is so modest that virtually no distortion is
caused by intermodulation with the tweeter. Like the bass
drivers, an open chassis design - minimises acoustic
reflection behind the cone.
The result is an even more spacious, better defined sound stage
over a very large area,with exceptional off-axis r esponse and none
of the ‘sweet spot’ limitations of conventional speakers.
Bass extension is equally stunning, thanks to ultra-low distortion
motor systems and high tech reinforced diaphragms. And with
each bass driver radiating directly from its own separate internal
enclosure to avoid the distorting effects of vertical standing wa v es
that tall cabinets usually suffer from, you experience noticeably
clearer,more open bass.
As you would expect from a handmade KEF product,
build quality is as outstanding as the
specification of each individual component.
Carefully graded and soldered by hand,
KEF’s own oxygen-free copper cable
ensures the best possible signal
transmission, with terminals machined
from solid brass and plated in gold.
High order crossovers with advanced air-cored
inductors and polypropylene capacitors ensure
faultlessly smooth integration.
For optimum performance in real rooms, all models
accommodate tri-wiring and are fitted with a
boundary control device to adjust bass response
according to speaker positioning and the acoustics of the
listening area. Magnetic shielding ensures trouble-free
positioning in home theatre applications.
Engineered from laminated birch ply using KEF’s own
internal bracing system, the new curved section cabinets
are elegantly profiled to minimise coloration and finished in
a choice of hand-matched hardwood veneers.
More than ever before, these are very special
speakers indeed.

Model 207
A true five-way design, the 207 is instantly recognisable
by the cast aluminium pod, which is shaped to damp the
internal sound field of KEF’s new generation UNI-Q
®
upper
midrange driver.
Beneath the state-of-the-art elliptical profile titanium
HypertweeterTM,a bonded Uni-Form cone/surround provides
the optimum waveguide for the 25mm (1”) titanium dome HF
unit leading to exceptional vocal clarity.
The lower midrange driver is derived from the LF unit,
KEF’s lightweight neodymium magnet assembly allowing it to
be effectively decoupled from the cabinet to improve imaging
and integration while minimising coloration.
Both long-throw 250mm (10”) bass drivers have their own
dedicated enclosures, tuned to different frequencies for
better performance in real rooms. With a combined cone
area equivalent to a single 375mm (15”) cone, they deliver
staggering bass extension of exceptional purity.
Incredibly lucid over an expansive sound stage, with no
discernible distortion - whatever sounds you’re into,this is a
supremely musical performer.
Model 205
In all the other Reference Series models, the wide
dispersion UNI-Q/Hypertweeter pod is faired into
the cabinet itself.
For the smoothest possible response, much
attention has been paid to evening out flux profiles.
Both MF and HF coils in the UNI-Q array share a
compound twin neodymium magnet assembly,
and the two ultra-low distortion 200mm (8”) bass
drivers have balanced Faraday loops above and
below the coil to ensure perfect symmetry.
The listening experience is spine-tingling, off-axis as
well as on. Wherever you sit in the room, there’s a near perfect illusion of
presence - exactly what you want for auditorium quality home theatre or to
recapture that elusive live concert ‘feel’.
Model 203
The 203 shares all this technical virtuosity, only on a
slightly smaller scale.
Computer matched high order four-way crossovers
assure fluid transitions between the five drivers.
The Hypertweeter and the new UNI-Q coincident
source array together provide seamless mids
and highs while the two165mm (61/2
”) LF drivers
with KEF’s high-tech motor systems and stiff,
lightweight reinforced diaphragms, deliver deliciously
open bass with incredibly low distortion even at
high volume.
Stereo imaging is superb,the detailing immaculate and the response so fluid you
could almost drink it.
Model 201
All the latest Reference Series technology packed into
a neat bookshelf package. There’s certainly no
compromise on build quality either. Graded and hand
soldered OFC wiring. Audiophile crossovers with
air-cored inductors and polypropylene capacitors.
Gold plated terminals. Like all Reference Series models,
the 201 can be tri-wired and comes with a boundary
control device to fine tune response to the acoustics of
the room. And with full magnetic shielding and the
inherently wide dispersion characteristics of KEF UNI-Q,
you can place them more or less wherever you like.
Smooth. Sweet sounding. Startlingly clear. The 201 is big
in everything but size.
Model 206DS
Designed to partner the new Reference Series,the Model 206DS is a
dedicated dipole rear surround for no nonsense KEF Reference
multi-channel systems.
Incorporating two of the radical new UNI-Q point source arrays as
used in the Reference Series,partnered with two 19mm (
3
/4
”) titanium
dome Hypertweeters and twin 165mm (6
1
/2
”) low distortion bass
drivers, the Model 206DS is perfectly timbre matched to the other Reference
Series speakers.
The four-way Model 206DS contains the technologies developed for the
Reference Series; a Boundary Compensation Device, Reference matched drive
units. The technologies combine to produce an incredibly lucid sound
reproduction,to ensure your enjoyment is complete.
Model 204c
With around two-thirds of the average movie soundtrack playing through the
centre channel, KEF’s extended bandwidth technology has been applied with
particular care to the new Reference series centre speakers.
Adding the Hypertweeter to the new UNI-Q driver array provides the extra
bandwidth required to reproduce all the audio inf ormation encoded in the latest
digital formats.
The array is completed by audiophile quality 165mm (61/2
”) bass drivers on
either side, with ultra-low distortion motor systems and reinforced lightweight
diaphragms to recreate the full weight of frontal effects without sacrificing
subtlety at lower volumes.
Model 202c
The recommended centre speaker to partner
models 203 and 201, the 202c delivers all the
listening benefits of the latest Reference
Series technology.
With the same Hypertweeter and an identical UNI-Q array incorporating KEF’s
latest elliptical dome titanium tweeter and seamless Uni-Form cone/surround,
the all-important vocals are reproduced with the same stunning realism.
When flanked by a pair of KEF’s 165mm (61/2
”) ultra low distortion bass drivers,
the combined effect is to immerse the viewer in a detailed soundscape that’s as
lucid as it is involving.Irresistible.

The look of XQ - an evolution of the new Reference Series
aesthetic - is about function,not fashion. From the chromed steel
Hypertweeter
TM
pod to the curves of the cabinet, everything is
calculated to produce a cleaner,purer sound.
Admittedly, the finish is a bit of an extravagance. You can specify
your XQ system in either a cool,Natural Maple veneer or one of
four high gloss lacquer finishes: Silver and Graphite Metallic
(to complement AV equipment),Pearlescent White or Maranello
Red.The aluminium front baffles are anodised in Silver.
But hey - when the technology inside creates such beautiful
sound, they deserve to look special.
With all models magnetically shielded and identically voiced,
the XQ Series fills the room with the kind of breathtaking
auditorium quality 3D soundscape you normally only find with the
world’s most expensive speakers.
XQ five
Tall, slim and assertive, XQ five is a genuine four-way
floorstander with two 165mm (6
1
/2
”) bass drivers in
addition to the 165mm (61/2
”) midrange/HF UNI-Q
®
array and KEF’s new titanium dome Hypertweeter.
What you experience is a big, all-enveloping sound
image, perfectly controlled. Exquisite detail, wherever
you sit. Exceptional lucidity, whatever the volume uncannily so,with the latest digital formats.
If you want sound that takes you out of yourself,
take five.
XQ three
All the sophistication of XQ five in a chic
stand-mount format. The look may be disarmingly
simple, but there’s no mistaking the richness and
complexity of the sound image XQ three can create.
When you hear what you’ve been missing,you suddenly
understand what SACD and DVD Audio are all about.
All you have to do is choose which of the sumptuous
contemporary finishes best complements your room:
Natural Maple veneer, Silver, Graphite Metallic,
Pearlescent White or Maranello Red.
XQ one
Irresistible - the compact three-way stand mount
speaker that’s packed with Reference Series technology.
Don’t be fooled by the relatively small size.
Power handling is exceptional, and UNI-Q’s inherent
wide dispersion characteristics fill any normal room with
an expansive soundscape. Magnetically shielded like the
rest of the range, it’s equally at home shelf-mounted or
on the available dedicated stand.
If you’re after true audiophile quality wideband response
without breaking the bank,this is the one.
XQ two c
Serious technology - and rightly so. Watching movies,
nowhere is acoustic accuracy more important than in
the centre channel.
The overall effect is so real it’s unreal - all the
more so with digital media. The rustle of a breeze.
Fingertips on frets. Distant thunder. Shoes creaking.
Cicadas in the grass. The flautist’s intake of breath.
You’re there,simple as that.
You don’t even need to look - you need two c.

The latest evolution of the acclaimed Q Series demonstrates how
the listening benefits of KEF technology leadership cascade down
from the Reference Series to more affordable ranges.
As the name implies, New Q has all the inherent advantages of
KEF UNI-Q
®
:seamlessly fluid midrange,consistent ster eo ima ging
and the unrivalled off-axis response that makes UNI-Q speakers
as easy to place as they are to drive.
It’s no accident that the styling, with the distinctive faired-in
UNI-Q ‘pod’ and curved section cabinets, echoes the latest
Reference series. Every model features a new design of
UNI-Q driver array whose 19mm (
3
/4”) metal dome tweeter is a
direct development from the Reference HF unit, and the same
ultra low distortion motor system.
Assertive, musically voiced and richly satisfying, the new Q series
speakers are available in a choice of Maple, Dark Apple or Black
Ash finishes.
Q7
The three-way bass reflex Q7 is an unusually
expansive performer - and no wonder. The 165mm
(61/2
”) UNI-Q®midrange/HF driver array
incorporates KEF’s sophisticated new 19mm (3/4
”)
metal dome tweeter,so midrange is silken and vocals
outstandingly pure. KEF’s unique B169 ‘racetrack’
format LF driver delivers terrific bass for such a slim
cabinet. Computer-designed crossovers optimise
sound quality,and KEF’s internal bracing eliminates the
box resonances that often affect tall full size speakers.
The result is clean, sweet and devastatingly accurate
sound quality.
Q5
A full bandwidth floorstander with UNI-Q’s
characteristically wide dispersion area, Q5 plays loud
and true. The response of the midrange/HF array is
fluid and accurate, and the 165mm (61/2
”) bass driver
has its own tuned enclosure and reflex port for
more dynamic power handling. Wherever you sit,
the configuration adds depth and texture to the
stereo image. Whether you opt for the Maple,
Dark Apple or Black Ash finish, Q5 looks discreet and
authoritative - and that’s how it sounds.
Q3
Even more than its award-winning
predecessor, the floorstanding Q3
offers exceptional value for money.
The coincident source 165mm (6
1
/2
”)
UNI-Q driver array creates a spacious and
intricate sound image throughout the
room, and bass extension from the large
front-firing port is taut, gutsy and
accurately controlled to preserve the
clarity of the midrange.
Q1
All the benefits of
the latest Q Series
in a compact
speaker with the power to fill the room
with big sounds. It has the same UNI-Q
driver array as the floorstanding models,
reproducing the frequency spectrum with
virtually no crossover effects.
Genuine performance - and great value.
Q2ds
The new Q2ds dipole
surrounds create the
perfect ‘diffuse’ surround
effect, as experienced in movie theatres,
by utilising two 165mm (61/
2
”) UNI-Q arrays.
The addition of a downward firing reflex
loaded 130mm (5
1
/4
”) bass driver adds weight
to the surround effects. Enveloping you in a
rich and spacious soundfield. Providing you
with the perfect home theatre experience.
Q9c
The Q9c centre speaker has the same UNI-Q array for a
perfect timbre-match with the rest of the Q Series.
Magnetically shielded and bi-wirable, it has the power
to enrich your viewing experience compared to any
conventionally engineered equivalent.
Q8s
Slim and compact,Q8s is the two-wa y closed bo x rear eff ects
speaker for the Q Series range. Using an identical UNI-Q
array to the rest of the range,it reproduces diffuse ambient
effects with great accuracy. Full magnetic shielding prevents any interference
with nearby electronics,and they can be either wall or shelf-mounted.

As the world’s first serious small speakers, the original Coda was
a real breakthrough in acoustic design, summed up by one
reviewer as ‘little shor t of miraculous’.
Now, Coda comes of age. It’s still about audiophile quality sound
at an affordable price - only more so.More technology,with KEF’s
large, musically voiced metal dome tweeter. High order
crossovers fine tuned for flawless transitions. More bass,
with state-of-the-art long-throw LF drivers with pole pieces in
copper to reduce distortion even further - and on Coda 90,
a unique side-firing subwoofer.
More design ingenuity - the drivers are mounted in a swoopy one
piece cast aluminium chassis, anchored by tie rods to the back of
the high density cabinet. All models are ma gnetically shielded and
come with bi-wire terminals as standard. They’re more beautiful
too,with hand picked real wood veneers in Maple or Black.
Competition - what competition?
Coda 80
Like the rest of the range, the Coda 80 two-way bass reflex centre channel
features KEF’s superb new 25mm (1”) metal dome tweeter,flanked by a pair of
powerful 100mm (4”) bass/midrange drivers.
Smooth,warm and natural sounding,it creates the
main focus of the sound image, pinpointing
on-screen dialogue with tremendous clarity.
Coda 70
The direct successor to the legendary Coda 7 - one of the most
successful speakers ever made - the new Coda 70 is a compact
two-way port reflex design with exceptional power handling for
its size. For the first time ever at this price level,the new 130mm
(51/
4
”) long-throw bass/midrange driver features a high-tech neodymium
motor system - and combined with a 25mm (1”) metal dome tweeter and
computer-optimised high or der cr osso v ers,the result is a rounded and intensely
satisfying audio experience.If you want musical response and total realism from
a bookshelf speaker without breaking the bank,nothing else even comes close.
Coda 90
The new Coda floorstander combines excellent dynamics with massive
bass extension. The performance figures (125 Watts power handling with
91dB sensitivity) tell only part of the story - the sound is what counts.
What you get is a rich,spacious and intricate soundscape,with an even,
smooth response right across the frequency range - and whether in a
hi-fi or home theatre set-up,the side-firing subwoofer adds real depth and
weight to the image you hear.Schubert or Santana, Spielberg or Scorsese,
the effect is just stunning.

When you buy your first audiophile loudspeakers,you expect a lot
- and rightly so. When you first hear a favourite track through a
pair of KEF’s new Cresta speakers, we think you’ll be genuinely
amazed. Designed by the same engineers as KEF’s legendary
Reference Series, Cresta is the product of three generations at
the forefront of high end loudspeaker technology - and an R&D
capability that’s second to none. Every model features KEF’s
famously smooth 25mm (1”) silk dome Ferrofluid-cooled tw eeter,
which gives high notes a spine-tingling immediacy and brings
vocals to life.Together with long-throw bass/midrange drivers and
audiophile quality crossovers, the result is fluid response right
across the frequency range.
Inside, KEF’s unique diagonal bracing system virtually eliminates
the panel resonance that so often distorts the clarity of budget
speakers; outside, the chamfered cabinet edges minimise
unwanted diffraction effects. And unusually for speakers of this
price, all Crestas can be bi-wired to improve performance
even further.
Cresta 10
KEF’s 25mm (1”) silk dome HF unit is complemented by a
130mm (51/
4
”) long-throw bass/midrange driver.The MF/LF
driver is the perfect match for the cabinet volume,
integrating seamlessly with the tweeter to create a detailed
sound image over a wide listening area.
An easy load for any amplifier,Cresta 10 has the understated good looks of the
rest of the range, with soft-edged cabinets finished in Black Ash, Maple or
Dark Apple.
Cresta 20c
Cresta 20c is a rear ported bass reflex centre channel
speaker partnering the same 25mm (1”) Ferrofluidcooled tweeter with twin 100mm (4”) long-throw
bass/midrange drivers. Faultlessly integrated through
the critical mid-band frequencies, this configuration brings on-screen dialogue
right into the room. Bi-wirable, magnetically shielded and slim enough to fit
unobtrusively above or below the TV,Cresta 20c is perfectly timbre-matched to
the Cresta range.
Cresta 30
Flagship of the range, Cresta 30 is a rear ported bass reflex
floorstanding design. The elegant cabinet is extensively diagonally
braced to eliminate ‘box coloration’,and improve sound quality.
With 100W power handling and 90dB sensitivity ,Cresta 30 is capable
of creating an intricate sound stage that reveals a w ealth of pr eviousl y
unheard musical subtleties, whether you own a budget system or
expensive separates.
Bass extension is finely weighted and astonishingly powerful from the
Cresta 30,thanks to the superb sensitivity and roll-off characteristics of
its 130mm (5
1
/
4
”) long-throw bass/midrange driver.
Refined, lyrical, and suited to all types of music, it’s an enormously
accomplished all-rounder that offers incredible value for money.
PSW5000
The ultimate powered subwoofer - as it
would have to be in order to match the
awesome performance standards set by
the new Reference Series for which it was
designed. How does a 1kW Class D
amplifier with a 380mm (15”) long-throw
woofer sound? Simply devastating is the
answer. The subwoofer can be adjusted via
radio remote control from anywhere in
the home, so the unit can be concealed
wherever you please. From the furniture
quality real wood enclosure in Black Ash,
Maple or Cherry to the tips of its gold-plated terminal block,PSW5000 exudes
performance without compromise.
PSW4000
Serious stuff. No less than 500 Watts of high efficiency Class D
amplifier power,with a 300mm (12”) long-throw driver in a hand finished MDF
cabinet. As you would expect, bass extension is more than generous
- but what’s really impressive is the way
low frequency response is immaculately
controlled. Output level, phase (infinitely
variable) and the low pass filter frequency can
be adjusted via radio remote control from
anywhere in the home, so the unit can be
concealed wherever you please.
PSW2500
The multi-purpose
PSW2500 active
subwoofer has an
attractive curved
cabinet which is
heavily braced to
eliminate any unwanted ‘box coloration’. Using a
250mm (10”) long-throw bass driver and a 250W
built in amplifier; this closed box design will deliver
ground-shaking effects and depth, whether it is a
movie or music. The PSW2500 also incorporates
many new features such as ground lift ability and
switchable movie/music modes allowing it to
complement any music or multi-channel system.
PSW1000.2
A 100 Watt on-boar d amplifier driving a 200mm (8”)
bass driver adds a powerful extra dimension to the
3D sound image. A reflex design with carefully
contoured ends to the ‘racetrack’ port to eliminate
noise and sturdy internal bracing to minimise box
coloration, the cabinet’s
distinctive soft edged
styling is set off by a
choice of Black Ash,
Maple or Dark Apple
finishes. The ideal entry
level sub.
POWERED SUBWOOFERS
The Powered Subwoofer (PSW) plays a vital part in exploiting the
full potential of DVD and other digital formats. The KEF range
offers logical steps in amplifier power, and bass performance with
styling to match. In each case, both frequency cut-off and output
levels are easily adjusted to match the main speakers and
room acoustics.
7
PSW3000
PSW3000 is ideally
suited to partnering
the new Q Series,
with a solid 300 Watts
from the on-board
amplifier, a 250mm
(10”) long-throw
driver and audiophile
grade internal components combining to deliver a
bass presence of stunning depth and clarity to
underpin the soundscape. Fully adjustable via RF
remote control functions, it looks as good as it
sounds - and with this amount of power, that’s
mightily impressive.
