KEF Launches Special Edition Home Theatre System KHT3005SE


Enhancing acoustic performance for greater home entertainment enjoyment   
 
The high-end UK loudspeaker brand KEF has rolled out the special edition home theatre 5.1 speaker system KHT3005SE, the latest model of the award-winning KEF Home Theatre (KHT) series. As the Special Edition of the highly recognized and award-winning KHT3005 system, KHT3005SE is completed with one centre channel speaker, four satellite speakers (front and rear) and a powerful subwoofer (HTB2SE). With groundbreaking acoustic technologies and the unique “egg-shaped” design, the system is another proof of KEF’s advancement which brings a chic component of a modern home décor and delivers an exquisite audio-visual entertainment to music and movie lovers.
 
Perfect sound in stylish design
KEF Home Theatre KHT3005SE is an integration of innovative technologies and design, which is highlighted by the five “egg-shaped” speakers and a powerful subwoofer for both vertical and horizontal installations. The satellite speakers are equipped with bass reflex ports and high-quality terminals at the rear. Together with the magnetic grills to prevent interference from nearby electronic equipment, the satellite speakers can significantly reduce distortion and produce clearer and more accurate sound effects. KHT3005SE is available in high gloss black and high gloss silver with options of stylish unobtrusive wall bracket and floor stands for satellites, making the system a convenient match with modern home décor.


Innovative technologies for excellent audio enjoyment
The new KEF Home Theatre KHT3005SE incorporates a number of groundbreaking technologies to further enhance acoustic performance. These features include:
 
Uni-Q® single point source technology – The patented KEF’s magnificent technology using aerospace materials to mount the tweeter at the centre of the midrange cone provides a single focused source for the sound dispersion, contributing the full richness and power of surrounding sound effects everywhere of the room.
 
Tangerine-waveguide Device – A succinctly-designed yet highly functional device on the     Uni-Q® tweeter not only provides wider high-frequency dispersion, but also acts as a useful protector for otherwise delicate tweeter dome.
 
Sealed Suspension Technology, SST™ – A technology helps reduce noise caused by high pressure air escaping by effectively sealing the gap between a Uni-Q® driver’s moving midrange cone and tweeter airtight. This allows the speakers to produce a markedly more powerful and cleaner sound.
 
Radial Reinforcing Ribs – Designedly applied to the midrange cone, the Ribs improve stiffness to deliver a seamless transition to the tweeter for smoother response, rectifying a common flaw of distortion caused by resonance of the cone.


Crossover and Internal Circuitry – With enhanced circuitry, crossover ensures the signals split to be superbly integrated across the frequency range between satellites and centre channels, optimizing the levels and depth of surrounding sound effects.
 
SmartBass™ – Subwoofer HTB2SE is featured with a convenient SmartBass “bass boost and phase control” function, which enables users to increase the bass output (6dB or 12dB at around 40Hz) and phase control (180˚) easily, so that the subwoofer can suit for different room conditions and preferences. Users can have the full enjoyment of rich and spacious audio-visual effects.

It has recently launched the KEF Home Theatre KHT1005.2, the second generation of the outstanding KEF Home Theatre 1000 series, which comprises a centre channel speaker, four satellite speakers (front and rear) in the iconic “egg” shape and an inspired performance subwoofer (Kube-1).

Petit subwoofer with powerful performance

Equipped with a Class D amplifier, Kube-1 delivers maximum output of 108dB to produce a strong and dynamic bass effect. Moreover, the subwoofer’s frequency range extends to as low as 38Hz, making a surround sound more powerful through its wider, lower frequency band.
 
Stylish design and pure surround sound effect
Powered with KEF’s patented Uni-Q® technology, the 15mm tweeter used in KHT1005.2 is precisely made with aerospace materials and is mounted at the centre of the 75mm midrange driver. With sound output from a single point of source, the Uni-Q® technology significantly expands the width, height and depth of the soundscope and allows a better-in-room dispersion of pure surround sound effects. Coupled with an enhanced maximum output at 105dB of the satellite speakers, KHT1005.2 can produce a fluent, stable sound of excellent clarity. Furthermore, the chic “egg” design of the speakers makes the home theatre system compact, an apt stylish touch to a modern home décor.
 
The KEF Home Theatre KHT1005.2 system is certainly the best choice for people who have a compact living space yet passion for surround sound enjoyment. The five loudspeakers of KHT1005.2 are available in high gloss black and matt silver, while the high gloss black Kube-1 subwoofer is no doubt an ideal match of a flat panel TV commonly found in modern homes. Accessories are also available for wall bracket and desk stand installation.

Refined and stylish design adds affordable reference quality look to outstanding acoustic performance

The AV world is ever evolving in both technology and perspective in enjoyment of music. Despite the advancements and popularity of digital music grown dramatically over the recent years, seeking high quality original sound appreciation has splendidly returned again. Aiming to bring audiophiles to full music enjoyment, KEF, the world’s leading loudspeaker brand, announces today the launch of its new XQ Series – a seamless integration of two of KEF’s most acclaimed ranges, the radical Q Series and the legendary Reference Series.  Matching with the enhanced acoustic performance and refined design, the XQ Series provide a wider model range and new finishes that perfectly match any modern home décor nowadays.
 
High Quality Touch for Stylish Interior Décor
KEF’s engineers injected the XQ Series with extra zest that brings a special fashionable touch into life. The XQ Series greet its audience with a cool real-wood cabinet with high gloss and exceptional lacquer finishes (Mahogany, Piano Black and Birds-eye Maple), which make the speakers more attractive and unique in appearance. The superb stiffness and density also provide reliable protection from paint cracks and scratches that ensure purer and clearer sound. 
 
The XQ Series adopt a curved cabinet design which has proved to be a popular and ideal décor component of modern homes. Interference-free magnetic grilles and classy black anodised baffles in front of the speakers create a tactile feel. The baffles also help to disperse much smoother radiation with natural sound effect. Coupled with optional matt silver finished floor stands, the XQ Series are a chic accent of interior design.
 
Exceptional Acoustic Performance
Using the latest KEF revolutionary Uni-Q® technology, in which the 19mm aluminium dome tweeter is mounted at the centre of the titanium coated midrange cone, the XQ loudspeakers enhance the acoustic performance by extending high frequency effective sound stage to a 55kHz flat response and providing smoother single point source sound output.  Moreover, KEF’s revolutionary Uni-Q® array has been further enhanced by the addition of a simple yet ingenious “tangerine-waveguide” device.  This not only optimises the high frequency dispersion but also acts as a useful protector for the otherwise fragile tweeter dome.
 
To generate more intensive low frequency and stunning bass effects, the XQ Series are incorporated with high excursion low frequency drivers that allow greater movement of the speaker cone to ensure the speakers’ brilliant performance.  Besides, the ultra-low distortion bass drivers vividly reproduce the extraordinary clarity of the natural sound.
 
With the same high-end components which is also used in the Reference Series crossover circuits, the XQ models achieve seamless audio integrity. The low and midrange frequencies are physically separated from the high frequency sections to minimise electrical coupling.  The XQ Series are the absolute choice for top-notch audio entertainment, in both design and functionality.

The XQ Series comprise floorstanding, bookshelf and centre models available in three exceptional and elegant finishes: high gloss Mahogany, Piano Black and high gloss Birds-eye Maple.

Muon Exclusive Debut Performance in Hong Kong
The 21st century speaker created by KEF and Ross Lovegrove 
 
Continuing with its successful world-tour in the major  avant-garde cities including Milan, Munich, London and Shanghai, Muon, a remarkable two-metre high loudspeaker created by KEF, the world leader in acoustic technology, together with the internationally renowned industrial designer, Ross Lovegrove, today is ready for its debut in Hong Kong. This will be a very special opportunity for local connoisseurs to listen to Muon’s exclusive and extraordinary debut performance.
 
Muon is the perfect marriage of the best British acoustic engineering and industrial design, which is widely acclaimed as a breakthrough in the hi-fi industry. It has earned ravishing reviews from everyone who has his eyes and ears on it, and received “Best Stereo Performance Award” in Munich High End Show 2007.
 
The Muon loudspeaker is a technology-driven design that has established a major benchmark in acoustic performance. Its four-way speaker system mounted into the front of the structure, which has four powerful bass drivers, is one of the elements that makes it so superior. But it is also the upper mid-range and treble where some of Muon’s key technology lies in the form of the Uni-Q® drive unit array, remarkable in its construction and delivering a seamless sonic picture throughout the listening environment. The two additional bass drivers mounted in the back of Muon help to produce a remarkably clean and open sound by dealing with room effects.
 
KEF has also used its Acoustic Compliance Enhancement (ACE) technology, which enables the bass to effectively double the available volume through absorption of air molecules by activated carbon-dubbed ‘magic dust’ by the audio industry. Finally the 6mm thick, heavily damped aluminium shell provides a totally rigid structure that minimizes any sound-distorting vibrations. As stated by Dr. Andrew Watson, lead acoustic engineer of KEF Muon, “we wanted to take our technology to the limit and then develop it further.” The upshot is an unparalleled loudspeaker that brings an unbelievable sound quality to music lovers and serious audiophiles.
 
The mastermind behind the exquisite Muon speaker is Ross Lovegrove, a materials and technology-led industrial designer, and to those who know his work, a visionary. The design aspect of the Muon is equally as advanced in technology and sleek in aesthetic. The Muon loudspeaker is fabricated from super-formed aluminium, which uses a similar moulding process to vacuum forming. The concept uses malleable sheets of heated aluminium to achieve otherwise impossible shapes. The eventual form of the loudspeaker was the result of a careful convergence between Ross Lovegrove’s design aesthetics and the physics of sound. The process by which they were conceived meant that, in effect, Ross Lovegrove was sculpting the sound by “skinning” the technology with purposeful form – the final shape was created through an evolutionary process that ensured it could only be the form that it is.
 
A UK based company that has strong links with the aeronautics and automotive industries milled the first prototype from enormous billets of solid aluminium. Using state-of-the-art computer-aided manufacturing software, the machines precisely cut away the excess material from the six-foot long block of solid metal to reveal the final form – in total the milling took about a week.

As a truly contemporary art form appropriate for the 21st century living, and limited to an edition of just 100 pairs, the Muon is unequivocally at the apex of speaker design and technology. The Muon loudspeakers are now available for sale. Each pair is made to order and will be individually numbered. The serial number will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

以技術驅動設計的Muon揚聲器建立了揚聲器的新標準。Muon擁有非凡的音效表現，其四路揚聲系統，包括了四個強勁的低音單元置於音箱前方，重點技術在於KEF專利的Uni-Q同軸同點單元技術，將超高音單元置於高中音單元之軸心，還原出更逼真生動的聲音效果，整個聆聽空間彌漫著無與倫比的音效。兩個後置的低音單元則營造更清澈開闊的音色，有效改善室內聲音效果。
 
Muon同時採用了KEF嶄新的強化低音設備ACE (Acoustic Compliance Enhancement) 技術，利用活性碳粒子調節音箱內的氣壓波動，有效減少音箱內壓力，可以使低音音域範圍加倍擴展。此外，Muon 的外殼採用6毫米厚的精鑄鋁材鑄造而成，穩固及防震的的鋁製外殼為揚聲器提供了一個堅固的結構，有效防止因共振引起的聲音發散現象。KEF Muon 首席聲學工程師 Andrew Watson博士表示：「我們希望將現有技術水平發揮極致，進而發展更先進的技術。」一個匠心獨運的揚聲器由此誕生，爲音樂愛好者及音響發燒友帶來不可思議的完美音樂享受。
 
Muon流麗的線條優美迷人，內含精密嚴謹的製造工序，融合了頂尖科技和當代設計美學，全來自工業設計大師Ross Lovegrove的創作意念。Ross Lovegrove擅長探索各種物料和先進科技的運用，他參照了真空的超塑成形技術 (Super-formed)，將具備延展性的鋁材高溫加熱鑄成超乎想像、獨一無二的形狀。Ross Lovegrove細心解構揚聲器的內部技術，確保獨特外形下，音色達至細緻無瑕，散發醉人韻味，儼如藝術巨作的Muon 揚聲器完美呈現Ross Lovegrove融匯美學與聲學的藝術成就。
 
爲了鑄造此空前藝術品的原型， KEF與一家於航空和汽車工業領域具有豐富經驗的英國企業合作，以先進的工具配合頂尖的 CAM設計軟件，精確地切割長達六呎的金屬柱，最後造出流麗線條的曲線美態，製作此原型就需時長達一周。
 
Muon無論在外形設計和音響工藝方面均是當今曠世傑作，無愧為21世紀劃時代的生活藝術品。Muon全球限量生產100對，現正在香港接受訂購，先到先得。

New KEF Reference Series

The Ultimate Natural Sound
With Innovative Acoustic Technology and Elegant Finishes
 
KEF Reference Series, a renowned flagship family of state-of-the-art loudspeakers, which combines innovative acoustic technology and elegant finish. Each speaker is hand-assembled by skilled craftsmen who match the performance of each driver to within 0.5dB, which is as close to perfect as possible.
 
In order to create the new Reference Series, the design team led by KEF’s Senior Acoustic Engineer, Dr. Andrew Watson was challenged to build a ‘cost no object’ technology demonstrator that would produce the most natural sound possible. The KEF ‘Austin’ conceptwas the result. The ‘Austin’ concept loudspeaker had its debut to the press in 2006 at the Munich High-End show and garnered several ‘best sound in show’ awards from the audiophile magazine community. The Austin project was finally became the foundation of new Reference series’ technology.
 
Uni-Q®-The enhanced “sit anywhere” Uni-Q® technology mounts the hypertweeter at the centre of the midrange cone so that their acoustic centres are at the same point in space. The outputs from the two units are thereby time aligned, generating a more stable and natural sound image over a wide listening area. With nearly two decades of continuous development, this uniquely advanced driver array has been redesigned, resulting in superior sound dispersion, which further enhances the new Reference series’ performance.
 
Acoustic Compliance Enhancement (ACE) – ACE uses activated carbon granules to minimize pressure change inside the subwoofer’s cabinet. With ACE, bass extension can be generated out of proportion to its actual size up to 150% to 300% and results in a thorough bass sound.

Crossover – Computer-modelled crossovers optimise amplitude and phase behaviour for the smoothest possible integration. Not only are the boards decoupled to isolate them from cabinet wall vibration and to stabilise them against internal acoustic pressures, but the multi-board construction also eliminates crosstalk between different sections.
 
Cabinets Design - The curved section cabinet is special with precision engineered. It eliminates unwanted vibration, which ensures sweet and pure acoustic output.
  An elegant finishes - The furniture-quality high-gloss variants of new Reference Series are finished with total 8 layers of lacquer, each layer is required to polish to a hand-made mirror finish by craftsmen before applying lacquer on next layer.
