Model 207
A true five-way design, the 207 is instantly recognisable
by the cast aluminium pod, which is shaped to damp the
internal sound field of KEF’s new generation UNI-Q
®
upper
midrange driver.
Beneath the state-of-the-art elliptical profile titanium
Hypertweeter
TM
,a bonded Uni-Form cone/surround provides
the optimum waveguide for the 25mm (1”) titanium dome HF
unit leading to exceptional vocal clarity.
The lower midrange driver is derived from the LF unit,
KEF’s lightweight neodymium magnet assembly allowing it to
be effectively decoupled from the cabinet to improve imaging
and integration while minimising coloration.
Both long-throw 250mm (10”) bass drivers have their own
dedicated enclosures, tuned to different frequencies for
better performance in real rooms. With a combined cone
area equivalent to a single 375mm (15”) cone, they deliver
staggering bass extension of exceptional purity.
Incredibly lucid over an expansive sound stage, with no
discernible distortion - whatever sounds you’re into, this is a
supremely musical performer.
Model 205
In all the other Reference Series models, the wide
dispersion UNI-Q/Hypertweeter pod is faired into
the cabinet itself.
For the smoothest possible response, much
attention has been paid to evening out flux profiles.
Both MF and HF coils in the UNI-Q array share a
compound twin neodymium magnet assembly,
and the two ultra-low distortion 200mm (8”) bass
drivers have balanced Faraday loops above and
below the coil to ensure perfect symmetry.
The listening experience is spine-tingling, off-axis as
well as on. Wherever you sit in the room, there’s a near perfect illusion of
presence - exactly what you want for auditorium quality home theatre or to
recapture that elusive live concert ‘feel’.
Model 203
The 203 shares all this technical virtuosity, only on a
slightly smaller scale.
Computer matched high order four-way crossovers
assure fluid transitions between the five drivers.
The Hypertweeter and the new UNI-Q coincident
source array together provide seamless mids
and highs while the two165mm (6
1
/2
”) LF drivers
with KEF’s high-tech motor systems and stiff,
lightweight reinforced diaphragms, deliver deliciously
open bass with incredibly low distortion even at
high volume.
Stereo imaging is superb,the detailing immaculate and the response so fluid you
could almost drink it.
Model 201
All the latest Reference Series technology packed into
a neat bookshelf package. 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.
The array is completed by audiophile quality 165mm (6
1
/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.
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.
When flanked by a pair of KEF’s 165mm (6
1
/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.
