From The Formidable KEF Comes A Formidable Surround Speaker System
The compact Model 7 (with seven drivers in each speaker) is ideal for the minimalist look. Voices sound real and precisely located. Ambient effects travel through a realistic three-dimensional soundscape as the director intended. On screen action comes alive for everyone in the room, wherever they sit. And in line with the thinking behind the whole concept, they're exceptionally simple to set up: just connect the supplied wiring harness to your home theater receiver. The wiring harness allows you to output your center, front, and rear surround cables to the two KEF Model 7 speakers.
Just Add Bass
KEF's fivetwo Series speakers give you sound for all five channels. All you have to do is add a subwoofer and your 5.1 system is ready to be heard loud and clear.
Heard And Not Seen
Sound reproduction should be invisible—you want surround sound, with the hardware as unobtrusive as possible. Trouble is, conventional home theater systems require at least five speakers and a subwoofer to be placed around the room, regardless of how they fit with the rest of your furniture. Cables have to be run to the rears. Before you know it, your living space looks like a hi-fi showroom. That's why KEF came up with an alternative. As its name implies, the new fivetwo series envelops you in the surround sound of a full 5.1 set-up using only two speakers and a subwoofer.
Uni-Q Array Explained...
KEF's KHT series incorporates the Uni-Q technology, something originally designed for one of the world's finest speaker models, KEF's legendary Reference Series. With each generation of speakers, KEF expands on and improves their Uni-Q offerings. The Uni-Q concept is based on using aerospace materials to make the tweeter small enough to place at the acoustic center of the bass/midrange cone. With both drive units on exactly the same axis and sharing the same waveguide, they behave as a single point source that projects a more natural sound image over a much larger area than the usual tiny sweet spot.
And Explained...
The Uni-Q configuration eliminates the inherent problems of having the separate midrange and high frequency drive units of a conventional speaker. As loudspeaker radiation varies according to frequency, low frequency and high frequency drivers have intrinsically different radiation patterns whose directivity, known as Q , changes at the crossover frequency. Interference, or lobing , between the two units causes a dip in power response around this frequency, with a peak above it due to their differences in directivity. These factors introduce colorations that muddy the sound image. You get no such problems with Uni-Q. Being coincident and perfectly time-aligned, the directivity of both LF and HF units is controlled by the profile of the midrange cone, with no possible path or phase differences between the two, and no lobing interference at the crossover. In other words, the Q is unified —hence the name Uni-Q. So instead of narrowing toward the crossover and then widening again as is the case with separate drive units, the Uni-Q radiation pattern remains stable. Power response is uniform, with smoother variations on- and off-axis. The acoustic image is better balanced and more natural sounding across both direct and reverberant fields. Multi-channel imaging is noticeably clearer and more accurate.
And Interpreted...
No matter where you put the speaker, and no matter where you sit, you'll get the same rich sound. No more bolting everything in place to make sure you're located at the optimal listening spot. All the notes, tones, pitches, and sounds the speakers have to offer travel in a group so you hear them all evenly, everywhere. It's almost enough to make a person tear up.
