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 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 (6
1/2
”) 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 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 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.
