New: KEF LS60 Wireless

The LS60 Wireless is the youngest member of the KEF family and has a special feature: it does not require speaker cables. Nowadays we simply call this phenomenon wireless, ignore the power cables that are of course necessary and are happy that you don't have to lay unsightly copper cables or the like in the living room. The KEF LS60 Wireless even brings the source with it. The proven streaming technology from the LS50 Wireless is used, of course with operation via the KEF Connect APP, which is available for iOS devices as well as Android.

Anyone who predicted the downfall of the hi-fi world and cited the usual Bluetooth, Airplay and streaming speakers as proof will be proven wrong by the KEF LS60 Wireless, because here we are dealing with a full-fledged hi-fi speaker that also has a higher sound requirements met.

Speakers with brains

The magic word at KEF is Music Integrity Engine, which brings together the Single Apparent Source configuration and other KEF acoustic technologies. The KEF LS60 Wireless is essentially a speaker with a brain that uses digital signal processing algorithms to enable perfectly timed audio performance. The famous Uni-Q chassis (fast and precise) has got the perfect player in the KEF LS60 Wireless.

Back to the actual chassis: KEF's top-of-the-line speaker Blade provides the technology to achieve the acoustic ideal of a point sound source in which all frequencies are radiated from one point. Point sound sources achieve maximum authenticity through their speed. The sound quality also benefits from KEF's own metamaterial absorption technology (MAT™), in which 99% of the tweeter's rear-radiated frequencies are absorbed. The result ensures more quietness and therefore a purer and more natural performance with minimal distortion.

The KEF LS60 Wireless is slim and, at 1.09 meters high, is unproblematic for most living spaces. A total of four 135 mm drivers are responsible for the bass, which are actually housed inside the narrow housing. Grouped into two pairs, the basses work back to back in a force-cancelling arrangement. This practically eliminates housing vibrations.

Streaming made easy

When it comes to connectivity, the KEF LS60 Wireless is in no way inferior to its pioneer LS50 Wireless (or other Bluetooth speakers): You can stream from your cell phone or tablet via Bluetooth, Airplay 2 or Google ChromeCast. The integrated streamer can be operated via the KEF Connect app and thus enables access to music services, including uncompressed content such as Tidal, Qobuz or Deezer. Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect are also no problem for the LS60 Wireless.

Roon Ready is essential for anyone who wants to combine their stored music collection with the content of their favorite streaming services and own a well-maintained music collection. Roon opens up a whole new dimension of music data management, as well as additional information about music albums including cross-references to new music. So much for the integrated options.

Enjoy television with the KEF LS60 Wireless

If you want to listen to your television sound via the KEF LS60 Wireless, you can connect with an HDMI cable via the eARC HDMI port. The moment the KEF LS60 Wireless transmits the sound from your television (assuming the television has an HDMI ARC connection. No problem at all for devices that are less than 6 years old!), the volume of the LS60 Wireless can be adjusted via the TV remote control can be controlled.

This makes operating the home audio/video system a lot easier, because no one has to look for their cell phone (for the app) or the KEF remote control just to turn down the advertising. Of course, you can also connect a CD player (preferably digital), your record player (with the help of a phono amplifier via the RCA connections) or your computer (via USB) to the KEF LS60 Wireless.

For an extraordinary music experience

In summary, the KEF LS60 Wireless is a pair of speakers that combines all of KEF's latest developments. All major streaming services are represented (by the way, with Tidal Connect, KEF is ahead of some of its competitors), the KEF Connect APP runs stable and is clear and intuitive to use.

The 12th generation Uni-Q chassis with the latest development in metamaterial absorption technology (MAT™) delivers exceptional acoustic precision - a typical KEF loudspeaker. The four Uni-Core Force Canceling drivers maximize bass performance and the KEF Music Integrity Engine ensures perfect interaction between all components. The KEF LS60 Wireless is equipped for an extraordinary music experience.
