KEF LS50

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

"So what really grabbed me most at the show? Well, the biggest shocker was the KEF room, where the $1500 LS50 was delivering a real wallop from its 5.25 driver. What it did for the money was hands down the most shocking experience of the show. Perfect for small room and guaranteed to leave anyone who hears them slackjawed. Rule Britannia!" - Jacob Heilbrunn, Absolute Sound.

The LS50 takes the concept of KEF’s legendary LS3/5a into the 21st Century. The LS50 mini- monitor speaker brings the quality of a professional studio monitor into your listening room.

Rare in a such a compact design, the LS50 monitor delivers a rich, multi-dimensional ‘soundstage experience’ that is out of all proportion to its size. 

Patent-pending acoustic designs, together with state-of-the-art technologies from KEF’s latest flagship Blade loudspeaker, provide the ultimate studio experience – even in the smallest of spaces.

Breakthroughs
Creating a small housing capable of delivering such a spacious sound is the result of considerable research and development. In cabinet construction, baffle shaping and port design, LS50 breaks new ground with patent-pending technology. All this is made possible by KEF’s leadership in modern research (including techniques such as Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics*). LS50’s unique technology offers by far the cleanest, most accurate studio-grade performance of any mini-monitor.

UNI-Q®

LS50 employs revolutionary technology developed for Blade, KEF’s latest flagship loudspeaker. Using the very latest Uni-Q driver, specifically designed for this model, LS50 radiates an extremely large listening sweet spot and delivers a remarkably fast, clean sound. And, because LS50 neither adds nor subtracts a single sound, it’s effortlessly natural and accurate too.
