KEF is delighted to announce the introduction of
a high-quality wireless system especially designed for the KEF Home Theatre 5000
Series.
For existing 5000 Series owners, itÂ’s easy to adapt your system to wireless
operation. The rear speakers can also be purchased separately for use in any
surround system.
The new KEF Wireless 5000 series delivers CD
quality audio with 'Intelligent' Interference Free Signal Technology.
Now there is no need for owners or new purchasers
of this system to be concerned about lengthy speaker cables running from the
amplifier to the rear speakers.
Existing owners can purchase the transmitter,
which comes with receivers that can be integrated into the two rear speakers
to convert them to wireless operation. The rear speakers can also be purchased
separately for use in any surround system.
Users can locate the speakers virtually
anywhere they want to in the room - without the inconvenience associated with
traditional cabling - and receive remarkable CD quality audio with exceptional
clarity and remarkable lack of extraneous interference.
In order to achieve real full-bodied audiophile
sound reproduction KEF has developed a leading edge 2.4Ghz wireless transmission
technology that uses the most advanced error protection and sophisticated 'intelligent'
adaptive frequency hopping, ensuring an interference free signal. This makes
certain that the transmission is not affected by such things as microwave ovens,
mobile or digital cordless telephones, and wireless LAN routers, while still
providing the superior sound quality demeaned by true audiophiles.
The Technology Explained
KEF have developed innovative new technologies to deliver high-quality wireless
audio while at the same time avoiding signal interference:
A narrow signal band is used that is sufficient
enough for high-quality audio transmission yet perfect for finding a path
through the congested environment of a home filled with potentially conflicting
devices. This narrow band is a feature of HFADPCM (High Fidelity Adaptive
Differential Pulse Code Modulation), and along with advanced error correction
technology ensures an exceptionally robust delivery of CD-quality audio between
the transmitter and receivers.
The system detects other transmitters in the
2.4Ghz frequency - such as cordless phones, wi-fi routers and microwave ovens -
and 'hops' out of the way of potentially conflicting signals. With this
technology, know as AAFHSS (Advanced Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum), a processor constantly monitors several channels at a time and
continually switches to the strongest available to ensure a constantly pure
signal. It's all done in milliseconds so you don't notice it's happening so
nothing gets in the way of your enjoyment.
