5 Since its formation in 1961, KEF has pioneer ed many inno vations in loudspeak er technolog y and design. Y our new Refer ence Series loudspeakers contain one of the latest of these advances - the KEF ‘Project Austin’ Uni-Q driv er arra y . In this innovativ e KEF design, not only ar e the mid and high-frequency driv ers on the same axis (co-[...]

6 7 Four driv e units in a three-wa y configuration are employ ed in the Model 205/2. The single Uni-Q driver ar ra y for upper mid-range and high frequencies with ultrasonic extension, and a pair of 200mm (8in.) drive units in IDL configuration for low fr equencies. This system works optimally in medium to large rooms wher e its controlled and ext[...]

17 16 HF Adjustment The ‘HF Adjust’ A and B terminals control the high frequency output of the loudspeak er . This facility allows the user to adjust the ‘brightness’ of the loudspeak er to suit listening room acoustics, partnering electr onics and personal taste. Four settings for tw eeter output level ar e possible +0.75, 0 (‘flat’), [...]

T ri-wiring/T ri-amping T erminals The three sets of input terminals ar e linked by a high quality shorting cable . Removal of this cable will allow the LF , MF and HF sections to be connected separately , either by a parallel connection from one amplifier (kno wn as tri-wiring) or to separate pow er amplifiers driven fr om the same pre-amplifier ([...]

29 KEF was founded in 1961 by an electrical engineer named Ra ymond Cooke in a Nissen Hut on the premises of a metal working operation called K ent Engineering & Foundry (hence KEF), on the banks of the River Medwa y , near Maidstone in K ent. From the beginning KEF was destined to become a company with a flair f or the unusual and contro versi[...]

31 30 By 1973 the company was de veloping the concept of computer assisted ‘T otal System’ design, at a time when the world’ s v er y first 4-bit micropr ocessor was still in its infancy . KEF engineers, using a given set of parameters, could for the first time actually “see” what the response characteristics of a loudspeak er system woul[...]

But the same philosophies of solid engineering and innovation to pr ovide the finest quality product a vailable at its particular price-point remained firml y at the bed-rock. In 1994 and 1995 the[...]

35 The millennium ushered in a ne w era of groundbr eaking audio innovation. Among the most important was the launch of a new Refer ence Series - the forerunner of toda y’ s design - in 2002. This redefined the benchmark for high-end loudspeak ers by incorporating signature KEF technologies such as Uni-Q and the ‘pod’ concept. The decade had [...]
