The KEF LS50 Wireless II is a sophisticated all-in-one wireless HiFi system designed for those who demand the depth of true high-fidelity sound combined with the convenience of modern digital streaming. At its heart is the 12th generation Uni-Q coaxial driver, which combines a woofer and tweeter into a single point source, ensuring precise imaging and a natural, transparent soundstage that rivals the most expensive high-end systems.
Engineered for sonic purity, the LS50 Wireless II incorporates Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT). This innovative labyrinth-like structure absorbs 99% of unwanted frequencies in the 620 Hz to 40 kHz range, resulting in a more linear frequency response and a level of detail that allows the listener to hear every nuance of a recording without distortion.
Performance is driven by a dual-amplifier approach: a powerful switching amplifier handles the woofer-midrange, while a classic analogue MOSFET topology amplifier is dedicated to the treble for superior sound characteristics. With a total output of 380 watts and a generous 760-watt power supply, these speakers deliver a balanced, silky, and neutral audio profile across all genres.
Connectivity is where the LS50 Wireless II truly shines. It is a versatile hub supporting Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, and is Roon Ready. Users can stream directly from Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Prime, and Deezer, or connect via Bluetooth 4.2. For home cinema integration, an HDMI-ARC input allows for seamless synchronization with a TV, while a 3.5mm jack accommodates analogue sources like turntables.
Design meets science in the speaker's unique spherical baffle, which minimizes diffraction and obstacles to sound waves. The system is managed via the KEF Connect app, which provides essential room correction tools, including a 'Wall Mode' for close placement and a digital subwoofer crossover to integrate external bass units.
Whether you are a seasoned audiophile or a beginner looking for an easy entry into high-end audio, the KEF LS50 Wireless II offers a complete, unrivaled stereo package that eliminates the need for separate amplifiers and cables without sacrificing sonic integrity.
