24-Bit/384kHz DAC: The KEF LS60 Wireless utilizes a 24-bit/384kHz DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for audiophile quality playback. The LS60 Wireless supports digital music files up to 24-bit/384kHz, as well as MQA Decoding and DSD256. All sources are resampled to either 24-bit/96kHz PCM or 24-bit/192kHz PCM; depending on a wired or wireless connection between the LS60 Wireless's two powered speakers.

• MQA (Master Quality Authenticated): MQA is a revolutionary end-to-end technology that captures and delivers master quality audio in a file that's small enough to stream or download. MQA lets you hear your streamed digital music files exactly like the way the artist intended you to hear it when it was approved in the studio.
• DSD (Direct Stream Digital): DSD is high-resolution digital audio format that uses a single bit to deliver a high resolution signal. Instead of sampling the information several thousand times a second, this single bit samples 2.8 million times a second to generate the audio signal. The result is still a Hi-Res audio signal that clean and pure.

Tri-Amplifier Configuration: The KEF LS60 Wireless has power in abundance with its tri-amplifier configuration. The LS60 Wireless employs an optimized mixture of Class AB and Class D amplification delivering a combined 1400 watts of audiophile-grade power to each speaker, with amplifiers dedicated to high, medium and low frequencies within each speaker. The tweeter of the Uni-Q array is powered by a 100 watt class AB amplifier that deliver crisp, clear highs. The midrange of the Uni-Q array is powered by a 100 watt class D amplifier for natural and detailed midrange frequencies. The Uni-Core bass woofers are powered by a 500 watt class D amplifier for powerful, deep bass response. The two powered speakers may be connected together either wirelessly or hard-wired.

• Wireless Mode: LS60 Wireless is pre-paired at the factory for easy setup in wireless mode. The wireless transmission is totally independent of the local WiFi signal. The minuscule delay (2.9ms) between the primary and secondary speakers in this mode is automatically accounted for, through an equal delay applied to the primary speaker. The wireless connection re-samples all audio to 24-bit/96kHz. Wireless Mode has a range of 26'.
• Wired Mode: The wired interspeaker connection uses CAT-6 cable, plugged into the RJ45 sockets on the rear of the speakers. Cable mode must be enabled in the KEF Connect app settings menu. In this mode, all audio signals are resampled to 24-bit/192kHz. The included CAT-6 cable is 10' in length.

Music Integrity Engine: KEF's Music All aspects of the LS60 Wireless's performance is aided by KEF’s proprietary Music Integrity Engine. It is precisely tuned to allow the Single Apparent Source configuration and the Uni-Core drivers to work in perfect harmony, elevating the performance of each. It’s low-frequency phase correction feature delivers pinpoint timing exactly as if you were listening to the original sound.

Single Apparent Source Technology: At the heart of LS60 Wireless sits KEF's Single Apparent Source technology adapted from their flagship Blade loudspeaker. It aims to achieve the acoustic ideal of a point source, where low, mid and high frequencies radiate from one point. It is what makes LS60 Wireless incredibly coherent, with more precise and clear sound across the whole bandwidth. Perfectly calibrated drivers that cover the entire bandwidth of the loudspeaker are configured so that all frequencies appear to radiate from one single point. The result is noticeably more precise imaging and highly accurate sound across a wider area. Single Apparent Source is only possible with KEF's iconic Uni-Q driver array, the building block of KEF's signature sound. To achieve the acoustic ideal of a point source inf the LS60 Wireless, four low-frequency Uni-Core bass drivers in symmetrically opposing pairs are tightly packed around a two-way Uni-Q driver where the mid-frequency and high-frequency share the same acoustic center. In a conventional loudspeaker design, drivers producing different frequencies radiate from separate points causing interference as the drivers interact. Single Apparent Source eliminates this interference, so the sound is incredibly clear, accurate and sounds more real and immersive.

12th Generation Uni-Q Driver Array: The LS60 Wireless powered speaker utilizes KEF's patented 12th Generation Uni-Q driver configuration, in which the tweeter is mounted at the acoustic center of the midrange cone. With both acting as a single point source, the sound is dispersed widely and evenly throughout the listening area allowing you to experience superbly defined and perfectly balanced stereo imagery with a wide "sweet spot". Using simulation and analysis tools and decades of accumulated in-house knowledge, KEF engineers developed a 12th Generation Uni-Q driver array, with a new cone neck decoupler and motor system that is precisely shaped to reduce high-frequency distortion in the mid-frequency driver. The result is reduced coloration, less distortion and a sound that is more transparent and life-like than previously possible.

• 0.75" Aluminum Vented-Dome Tweeter: The geometry of the tweeter dome matches that of the midrange cone to avoid disrupting the waveform. By smoothening high frequency response, this helps to account for the detailed and strikingly natural-sounding treble. The 0.75" aluminum vented-dome tweeter utilizes a Tangerine Waveguide to encourage the sound to radiate spherically for wider, more even dispersion so that everyone in the room enjoys the same superb sound quality. A large internal vent prevents potentially distorting high pressures from building up behind the dome in the critical vocal region, preserving all the nuance and fine detail of the original performance.
• 4" Aluminum Cone Woofer: The 4" woofer uses an Aluminum cone that is light, stiff, and smooth for natural midrange and midbass sound. As well as allowing the midrange cone its full extension, KEF's ingenious Z-flex surround guides the sound from the tweeter across the surround without any disturbance or secondary radiation. Treble response is clearer and sweeter.

Uni-Core Bass Drivers: Through exceptional engineering and creativity, KEF’s engineers have revolutionized the traditional force canceling arrangement with a Uni-Core design that delivers deeper bass from ultra-compact cabinets. The LS60 Wireless features KEF's revolutionary Uni-Core technology with two pairs of 5.25" Uni-Core bass drivers that are mounted back-to-back in a force-cancelling arrangement, so cabinet vibration is practically eliminated. The innovative Uni-Core system overcomes the performance compromises when placing force canceling drivers into a smaller cabinet, by combing both back-to-back drivers into a single motor system. The overlapping, concentrically arranged voice coils allow for far more driver excursion than in other force canceling design, unlocking more output and depth from less space. Together with P-Flex driver surround and Smart Distortion Control Technology, the bass is balanced, detailed, deep and powerful.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT): KEF teamed up with the Acoustic Metamaterials Group (AMG) to use Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) in their LS60 Wireless powered speaker. Metamaterials are specially developed structures that use existing materials in such a way that they exhibit new, desirable properties that are simply not found in naturally occurring substances. A truly revolutionary technology, MAT is a highly complex maze-like structure, where each of the intricate channels efficiently absorbs a specific frequency. When combined, the channels act as an acoustic black hole, absorbing 99% of the unwanted sound that comes from the rear of the tweeter, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing a purer, more natural acoustic performance.

Advanced Cabinet Design: From the precision molded curved baffle to the solid, reinforced cabinet, every inch of LS60 Wireless has been designed to perform. Every aspect of LS60 Wireless has been considered for acoustic benefits and from a design perspective. Its acoustic suspension (sealed) cabinet features a low-diffraction curved front baffle that subtly mirrors the gently radiused rear panel, while an integrated decoupling plinth isolates the speaker from the floor.

• Acoustic Suspension (Sealed): The KEF LS 60 Wireless employs an acoustic suspension (sealed) MDF enclosure with elegant, rounded corners and matching decoupling plinth for a natural, uncolored sound.
• Rigid Cabinet Bracing: The LS60 Wireless’s extremely rigid cabinet is optimized for the best performance, with smooth curved surfaces that help radiate sound out across the baffle without any interference. Inside the cabinet, cross bracing and Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) combine to deaden internal vibrations. The result of such meticulous attention to detail is that LS60 Wireless produces the lowest coloration of any speaker in its class.
• Robust Curved Baffle: LS60 Wireless's baffle is engineered from an injection-molded Dough Molding Compound (DMC), usually found in the automotive industry. The LS60 Wireless's low-diffraction, curved baffle is precision modeled around the Uni-Q driver array. It’s smooth curved surfaces help radiate sound out across the baffle without any interference from hard edges, which cause diffraction. The result is cleaner, more precise sound.
• Flexible Port Design: Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the port flare and profile of LS60 Wireless's rear slot port is calculated to delay the onset of turbulence, and the flexible port walls prevent resonances from coloring the midrange. This leads to improved clarity, with exceptional depth and detail.

Dual Subwoofer Outputs: For even more impact and bass extension, LS60 Wireless features two mono-RCA subwoofer outputs, to connect a powered subwoofer (sold separately - see Accessories Tab). The KEF Connect App (for Apple iOS and Android OS) on your compatible smartphone or tablet device allows you to set the subwoofer outputs' Low Pass Frequency (50 to 120 Hz), Gain (-10 to 10 dB), and Polarity (On or Off). You can also set the speaker's High Pass Frequency (50 to 120 Hz).

Mounting & Placement Options: The KEF LS60 Wireless comes with an integrated plinth (base) that isolates the speaker from the floor to prevent any unwanted vibration that could lead to distortion. Rubber feet are pre-installed on the bottom of the plinth for hardwood, tile, vinyl, and laminate flooring. The rubber feet can be removed and replaced by the included spike feet for carpeted flooring. No protective discs are included to protect your hard surface floors from being scratched by the spike feet (protective discs are sold separately - see Accessories Tab). The two speakers are distinguished between the Primary Speaker and the Secondary Speaker. By default, the Primary Speaker is the right channel and should be placed on your right hand side as you face the speakers, while the Secondary Speaker is the left channel and should be placed on your left hand side as you face the speakers.

• The speakers should be placed on a flat and level floor surface that is free from vibration.
• The side and back panels of the speakers should have at least 3" clearance from other objects
• For the best stereo experience, soundstage and stable connection, place the speakers at least 3.3' apart and within 26' apart from one another.
• The optimum distance between the speakers and the listener will depend on how far the Primary Speaker and the Secondary Speaker are separated.
• Try to keep the same distance of the speakers to the listener so it forms an equilateral triangle.
