INSPIRED What better way to mark 50 years of innovation than celebrate our collaboration with the BBC. Begun in the early 1960s by KEF's founder; Raymond Cooke, the relationship led to the world’s greatest compact studio speaker; the LS3/5a. Recognising KEF's pioneering technology, the BBC asked us to provide cutting-edge drivers and crossovers that were key to its success. Advanced for its time, and designed without limitations, the LS3/5a became known as the ultimate “engineers’ speaker". Its latest successor is the LS50. Together with state-of-the-art technologies from KEF’s latest...

Unheard of in such a compact design, LS50 delivers a deeply rich, multi-dimensional ‘soundstage experience'that is out of all proportion to its size. LS50's bespoke Uni-Q driver array, capable of mastering an exceptional range of dynamic highs and lows, reveals original source sounds typically lost by other speakers. Designed using KEF's cutting-edge acoustic modelling, LS50 is the ultimate mini monitor

Elliptical flexible port Patent-pending technology designed using FEA* Geometry fine-tuned to minimise port resonance. Port flare design based on CFD* modelling to minimise turbulence. 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...

LF/MF driver LS50 employs revolutionary technology developed for Blade, KEF's latest flagship loudspeaker Using the very latest Uni-Q driven 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. Vented tweeter Optimum dome shape and stiffened dome technology Creates a structure that is so stiff, it operates as a pure piston over its entire working range.The dome resonance for the tweeter is at 40kHz which...
