A wireless tower to celebrate 60 years of acoustic innovation, The LS60 Wireless has beautiful future-forward design, flexible wireless and wired connections, and an innovative powered 3-way driver array.
KEF rings in its 60-year anniversary with the LS60 Wireless — reference-level towers with flexible streaming and wired input options. That means you can start streaming with just the speakers and your phone, tablet, or computer. But you'll want to hear what these magnificent powered floorstanders can do with other sources, and KEF gives you digital and analog choices.
These speakers are beautiful to behold in any of the three color options. And their ultra-slim profile and wide sound dispersion make room placement way more pleasure than chore.
Innovative driver design
Single Apparent Source technology makes it sound like all frequencies come from a single point.
KEF touts the LS60 Wireless as the world's first Single Apparent Source wireless system. Using technology adapted from their flagship Blade speaker, they place the low-frequency drivers equidistant around the specially designed 12th Generation Uni-Q array. That enhances KEF's acoustic ideal: low, mid, and high frequencies sound like they're emanating from a single point.
The carefully placed woofers use KEF's domeless Uni-Core design to maximize full, articulate bass at smaller diameters. Should you want even more low-end — using the speakers for movie and TV soundtracks would make a great excuse — each speaker has a mono RCA output for connecting a powered subwoofer.
Potent built-in amplification
To power the drivers, KEF uses three separate built-in amplifiers in each speaker. This best-of-both-worlds design sends 100 watts of Class AB power to the tweeter, 100 watts of Class D to the midrange driver, and a robust 500 watts of Class D power to the woofers.
Innovative Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) absorbs high-frequency vibrations to eliminate distortion.
Revolutionary sound absorption
This speaker benefits from KEF's innovative Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT). It's a highly complex, mazelike structure that's tuned to absorb unwanted sound coming from the rear of the tweeter. The resulting sound is clear and pure, with exquisite detail.
Wireless music streaming options
These speakers are equipped with built-in dual-band Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 4.2 for easy music streaming. The free KEF Connect app offers access to popular music streaming apps, including Spotify® (via Spotify Connect), TIDAL, Amazon Music, Qobuz, and Deezer. And internet radio and podcast listening are on tap as well.
Wired connections
The primary speaker in this pair has plenty of high-resolution digital inputs for connecting external components:
RJ-45 Ethernet port for network connection (accepts signals up to 24-bit/384kHz)
HDMI eARC (24-bit/192kHz) for improving sound from a compatible TV
Toslink optical digital input (24-bit/96kHz)
coaxial digital input (24-bit/192kHz)
You can connect the speakers together either via Ethernet cable for maximum sound quality or wirelessly for reduced cable clutter. (A wired connection allows higher-resolution 24-bit/192kHz playback.)
A room-filling "sweet spot," thanks to Uni-Q technology
KEF's patented Uni-Q technology places each speaker's tweeter in the acoustic center of the midrange driver's cone. That lets the LS60 Wireless create a detailed, accurate, three-dimensional sound image. In essence, it makes the "sweet spot" — the ideal listening position — much larger. Sit wherever you like! It'll sound fantastic.
Careful cabinet design
The LS60 Wireless's extremely rigid cabinet uses smooth, curved surfaces that help the sound radiate outward without distortion. The cabinet uses a grille-less design to show off the cool-looking driver array and super-stylish color options.
