Model 201
All the latest Reference Series technology packed into a neat bookshelf package. The same sophisticated elliptical titanium dome Hypertweeter. The same carefully damped cast aluminium enclosure for the 5th generation Uni-Q driver, with its thermoplastic rubber surround moulded on to the cone to avoid the slightest acoustic discontinuity. The same ultra-low distortion LF motor systems for bass power with un-compromised accuracy. 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 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 information encoded in the latest digital formats. For reproducing the human voice, the combination is unsurpassed - completely natural sounding, and sensitive enough for the slightest whisper to be heard with unerring clarity.
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.
The perfect compliment to models 207 and 205 floor-standers, model 204c is one of the most impressive centre speakers to be found at any price - or as one critic put it,‘gobsmacking’.
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 (61/2”) 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 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.
As with the 204c, Uni-Q’s single point source effect really comes into its own in the 202c. Pinpointing screen dialogue with great accuracy within the sound stage
-and 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.
