The cabinet is finished in real wood veneer and

you would treat fine furniture. A suitable cleaning

Unpack your subwoofer carefully and inspect for
any sign of damage. Your subwoofer left KEF’s

to the spikes and locking nuts each Model 209
also comes with casters. The casters should only
be used for transporting and moving the
subwoofer as they do not offer the stability

The Reference Series 209 subwoofer is of a
closed box design. As well as producing the best
acoustical performance, the cabinet is sealed to
prevent moisture ingression. It is therefore
important that the rear panel, drive unit and trim
ring are not removed for any period of time
especially in a humid environment.
