The more sophisticated that digital audio
formats become, the better your speakers
need to be. Which to choose, though?
Manufacturers come and go. Design trends
appear, then fade away. But with KEF,
you’re dealing with people who’ve been
consistently innovating since 1961.
The KEF Home Theatre (KHT) Series is a
good example. By bringing audiophile quality
sound to affordable home entertainment,
it’s been breaking new ground ever since it
was first introduced. As its many awards and
5-star ratings prove, the original outperformed
every conventional system in its class.
The latest KHT systems extend this
advantage even further, whatever your budget.
With the introduction of radically
innovative concepts like Acoustic Compliance
Enhancement (ACE), the latest refinements
of KEF’s trademark Uni-Q technology and
a new generation of powered subwoofers,
there’s a formidable line-up of options to
choose from.
KEF and the multi award-winning KHT story
They’re all designed to reproduce every last
detail encoded in the latest home
entertainment formats, and having identical
drivers for the satellite and centre speakers of
each system guarantees a perfect tonal match.
Naturally, they’re all magnetically shielded to
avoid interference with your other equipment.
Although each has its own distinctive look,
every system is engineered with acoustically
inert cast aluminium enclosures and
high-end components including metal dome
tweeters to create an accurate and
compellingly real 3D soundscape - and with
the ultra-wide dispersion characteristics of
KEF’s Uni-Q point source array, it’s enjoyed
with equal pleasure by everyone in the room.
02
K1337_KHT_Interim_Bro_EN 4/4/08 09:52 Page 3

Based on those developed for the legendary
Reference Series,the Uni-Q arrays in the KHT
range are the most sophisticated yet,
with metal dome HF drivers that reproduce
the human voice with breathtaking accuracy.
In purely practical terms, the larger sound
image gives you far greater flexibility in placing
your speakers where they look best. For home
theatre, it means that you experience even the
subtlest 3D soundtrack effects with the same
clarity and realism wherever you sit.
Uni-Q
Excellent dispersion characteristics common
with all Uni-Q based products showing wider
listening area.
Conventional loudspeaker dispersion showing
narrow ‘sweet spot’.
Technology
KEF’s patented Uni-Q driver configuration
disperses the sound image over a much larger
area than a conventional speaker, instead of
being restricted to a small ‘sweet spot’.
This outstanding off-axis response is made
possible by using aerospace materials to
engineer a high performance tweeter that’s
small enough to mount in the exact acoustic
centre of the bass/midrange cone so that both
act as a single point source - an ideal that,
so far, only KEF has achieved.
03
ACE
Effect of ACE on a 10 litre closed box loudspeaker
The holy grail of loudspeaker design has always
been to generate big bass from small boxes.
The trouble is, the laws of physics make this
almost impossible to achieve, as bass extension
relates directly to efficiency and cabinet size.
Continuing a 40-year tradition of genuine
design innovation, KEF engineers have now
developed a way of overcoming this apparently
insoluble limitation. It’s called Acoustic
Compliance Enhancement (ACE), and it works
like this. In conventional speakers, cone motion is
restricted by the acoustic pressure in the
enclosure as the air is alternately compressed
and expanded by the cone moving in and out.
The smaller the enclosure, the greater the
pressure that acts on the cone. By dramatically
reducing this pressure, ACE allows the cone to
move as freely as it would in a much larger
cabinet, generating bass extension out of all
proportion to its actual size.
This is achieved by introducing granules
of activated carbon into the enclosure
- a material containing millions of pores
ranging in size from visible fissures to
holes a few molecules across. One of its
characteristics is a capacity for physical
adsorption, the gravity-like molecular force in
which a substance (usually a gas) accumulates
in a thin film on the surface of a solid. In the
ACE loudspeaker when the cone moves
inwards the air pressure increases,
triggering adsorption of air molecules from
the free air into the carbon.This removal of air
molecules from the free air causes the internal
pressure to decrease. When the cone moves
outwards the opposite happens and the
carbon gives out air molecules. The ACE
material is constantly acting to reduce the
pressure variations in the enclosure in a
controlled and linear fashion.
It’s an innovation that makes an amazing
difference for the listener. By enhancing
compliance by anything from 150% to 300%,
ACE-enabled loudspeakers perform like units
up to three times their size. In trials of
identical Uni-Q arrays fitted to an ACE
enclosure 40% smaller than the test cabinet,
not only did the listeners agree that bass was
undiminished - they unanimously preferred
the bass attack of the ACE version.And that’s
the acid test of any radical breakthrough in
audio design: subjectively as well as objectively,
ACE enriches the listening experience.

They may look cute - but they sound
anything but. Experiencing a movie or favourite
album through KHT1005.2 is like seeing an old
friend after a makeover: fresh, involving,
more intense.The centre and satellite speakers
all have KEF’s stunning 75mm (3in.)
Uni-Q driver - the smallest ever made,
its 15mm (0.6in.) metal dome tweeter and
double neodymium magnets deliver the
extended bandwidth you normally get with
much larger units.
The curvy die-cast aluminium enclosures
eliminate the diffractions and internal resonances
that so often blur the output of conventional small
speakers, so the sound is cleaner and crisper.
The sound image is completed by the KUBE-1
subwoofer, its 150-Watt onboard power amp
driving a side-firing 200mm (8in.) long-throw
bass unit and 200mm (8in.) ABR.With output
fully adjustable for phase, frequency and level,
its attack is as forceful as it is accurate.
Whether you prefer shelf mounting,
wall brackets or optional floor stands with
internal cable management, the installation is
as discreet as can be - until you press ‘play’,
and the whole room fills with immaculate
three-dimensional sound. High gloss black and
matt silver finishes available.
Discreet design of HTS1001.2 satellite. Compact KUBE-1 subwoofer. Optional floorstands.

Charismatic is the only word to describe it.
Like the multi-award-winning KHT2005
from which it evolved, the reflex-ported
KHT2005.3*pushes the performance
envelope of midrange home theatre like no
other system.
The specification tells part of the story:
with parabolic enclosures computer optimised
to eliminate cabinet distortions, the full
range centre and satellites all feature KEF’s
100mm (4in.) Uni-Q array incorporating the
19mm (0.75in.) aluminium dome tweeter from
the acclaimed Q Series. Ferrofluid-cooled for
better power handling and driven by twin
neodymium magnets, HF reproduction is
startling - even whispered dialogue is pin-sharp.
But the real magic lies in the way all the system
components work together.
The tonal match is perfect, and transitions
are so smooth you simply can’t hear them.
Like all KHT Series subwoofers, the matching
new 200-Watt KUBE-2 has a selectable
‘Bass Boost’ switch for even more bass ‘slam’
with movie sound effects, and individual phase,
frequency and level controls allow you
to fine tune the output to get the perfect
balance with the satellite speakers and
your room acoustics.
An ingenious multi-directional base makes it
easy to place each satellite wherever it suits
you: on a flat surface,at an angle on walls, or on
the optional floor stands. It all adds up to
a chic, superbly engineered system that
delivers way beyond what you’d expect for the
price. Available in high gloss black or matt
silver finishes.

‘Tangerine’ waveguide increases the
sensitivity of upper HF resulting in
better sound dispersion (bottom).
The elegantly simple optional matt
finished floorstands complement
the satellite speakers in both form
and function.
Clearly an evolution of the award winning
3000 Series, the new KHT3005SE is the latest
version of the iconic ‘egg’ home theatre
system, updated to provide an even stronger
audio performance with improved clarity
and detail yet maintaining the beauty and
style that helped make its predecessor a
reviewer’s favourite.
The revolutionary 115mm (4.5in.) Uni-Q
driver of the satellite and centre speaker has
been enhanced by the addition of the
ingenious ‘Tangerine’ waveguide, for improved
sensitivity and sound dispersion and
have been comprehensively engineered for
an even cleaner, smoother response.
Distinctive radial ribs on the midrange cone
improve its rigidity for pure, clean vocal
effects with exceptionally low distortion.
The cast aluminium enclosures are shaped to
minimise internal resonance so that the
satellites fill the room with a lush and
incredibly detailed 3D sound.
KEF’s unique Sealed Suspension Technology -
SSTTM (patent applied for) dramatically
improves sound quality at higher volumes as it
effectively seals the gap between the moving
midrange cone and tweeter.
Carrying up to 60% of the sound, the centre
channel is vital in any home theatre system,
and the dedicated centre speaker is in a class
of its own.
Flanked by two 75mm (3in.) bass drivers in
addition to the same Uni-Q drivers as the
satellites, the hefty frontal impact is
complemented by amazingly clear dialogue.
When you're buying audiophile quality sound,
you want your system to look the part.
The 3000 Series comes in a choice of high
gloss black or high gloss silver finishes;
whichever you choose, you'll find that the
surface reflections echo the distinctively
smooth contours of the enclosures.

The cool minimalism of these slender cast
aluminium column speakers belies the
sophistication of the technology that makes
them sound so authoritative.
Flanked by a pair of 75mm (3in.) long-throw
bass drivers with ultra-low distortion motor
systems, the Uni-Q array has KEF’s 15mm
(0.6in.) metal dome HF driver at the acoustic
centre of the 75mm (3in.) midrange cone to
disperse a seamless sonic image evenly
throughout the listening area.
And what an image it is - richly textured and
spatially precise in every dimension.
Whether you’re watching a film or chilling out
to a few tracks, they sound as clean as they
look. KEF’s characteristic attention to detail in
everything from the audiophile grade wiring
and internal components to the curvature
of the cabinets maximises the Uni-Q
performance advantage, creating a big,
expansive sound that’s accurate enough to
clarify every nuance in the recording.
The sensational HTB2SE subwoofer pumps
out a genius 250-Watts of distortion-free bass
and with the choice of floor stands,
wall brackets and either short or infinitely
height-adjustable desk stands, you can place
the satellite speakers wherever they look best.
The 5000 Series is also available with
Wireless technology for the two rear
satellites, providing freedom to locate almost
anywhere without the worry of hiding lengthy
speaker cables.
Superb signal reliability is delivered with
CD-quality sound from a small central
transmitter to the receivers integrated neatly
into the rear speakers whether they are floor
or desk mounted.

Every once in a while you come across
a piece of design that looks so right you
just know it’s going to perform superbly -
like the KHT6000. Designed from the
start to complement the latest generation
of flat screen TVs, it combines high-end
KEF Audio technologies in a consummately
elegant package. Centre stage is a Uni-Q
array with KEF’s aluminium dome tweeter set
into a 75mm (3in.) midrange cone, so you know
that vocals are going to sound clear, warm
and beautifully balanced wherever you sit.
With a line-up of no less than four 75mm (3in.)
long-throw midrange/bass drivers with
ultra-low distortion motors, you know that
the sound image will be so real you can
almost touch it. Big. Confident. Evenly voiced.
The separate Uni-Q enclosure utilises ACE
technology to move the enclosure resonance
below the working frequency range and absorb
higher frequency acoustic modes.
Not that you actually notice it after the first
few minutes, of course - you just find that
you start enjoying music and movies more
than you used to.
What you might not expect is the ease with
which they can be positioned in the room and
around your screen. At the back of those
slender elliptical-section anodised aluminium
enclosures you’ll find the ingenious
Selecta-mountTM system of concealed wall
brackets; or if you prefer, there’s always
the neatly cable-managed standard shelf or
desktop stand and the option of
‘Bass Extender’, a reflex ported floor stand
to further enhance the bass output.
Whichever you choose, you’ll have the
satisfaction of knowing that you have a
speaker system that brings out the best in
whatever you play.

As the flagship system of the KHT family,
KHT9000 combines KEF’s latest performance
enhancing innovation with an uncompromised
technical specification to create a true audiophile
quality 3D sound picture: incredibly spacious,
intricately detailed and totally engrossing.
The 165mm (6.5in.) Uni-Q driver array brings
out the full emotional depth and texture of vocals,
whether sung, shouted, spoken or whispered -
hardly surprising, since it’s the same unit as you’ll
find on the high-end Q and XQ Series.
On either side, a matching pair of long-throw
bass drivers with ultra-low distortion motors
for a low frequency response that’s as lucid as
it is gutsy - and thanks to KEF’s Acoustic
Compliance Enhancement (ACE), what you
actually hear is the level of bass extension
that’s only normally obtainable with much
larger speakers.
To achieve a genuinely integrated look that
complements modern interiors, you have the
option of wall brackets or infinitely adjustable
desk or floor stands with stand-mounted
terminals connecting to the drivers via an
ingenious sliding track system. Depending on
the mounting system chosen, stand or wall
bracket, the connections automatically
select either the free space or wall mount
response setting. The wall filter has a unique
form which corrects for both the fundamental
wall reflection below 200Hz and the second
mode at 700Hz allowing unprecedented
tonal accuracy for a wall mounted speaker.
Available separately, and with a choice of
compatible powered subwoofers, you’re free
to tailor yourself the set-up that best
suits your tastes. If you take your entertainment
seriously, it’s a blue chip investment in
pure pleasure.
Available in high gloss black and matt
silver finishes.

Sound reproduction should be invisible -
you want surround sound, with the hardware
as unobtrusive as possible. Trouble is,
conventional home theatre systems require at
least five speakers and a subwoofer to be
placed around the room, regardless of how
they fit with the rest of your furniture decor.
That’s why we came up with an alternative.
As its name implies, the new fivetwo series
envelops you in the surround sound of a full
5.1 set-up using only two speakers and a
subwoofer (optional).
Whether you choose the compact model 7
(with seven drivers in each speaker) or the
formidable model 11 (with no less than
eleven), the effect is amazing. Voices sound
real and precisely located. Ambient effects
travel through a realistic three-dimensional
soundscape as the director intended.
On screen action comes alive for everyone in
the room, wherever they sit.
They can be mounted either on neat
adjustable wall brackets or floor stands -
and in line with the thinking behind the whole
concept, they’re exceptionally simple to set up.
All you have to do is connect the cables
supplied to your 5.1 home theatre
receiver/amp.
The secret lies in combining KEF’s acclaimed
Uni-Q “sit anywhere” driver concept with
NXT flat panel technology. Each speaker
has a front-firing array of Uni-Q drivers from
the award-winning 5000 and 6000 Series,
providing true dedicated centre speakers as
well as spreading a highly detailed sound image
to your left and right.
Behind them, large vertical flat panels act as
high performance rear effect speakers,
radiating the relevant parts of the signal to the
back of the listening area.
And all the channels can be separately
adjusted from your receiver to achieve a
perfectly balanced sound.
Available in high gloss black or matt
silver finishes.

Wireless
If the problem of hiding lengthy cables has
restricted where you put your loudspeakers,
now you have the freedom to locate them
virtually anywhere you wish. KEF have
developed a remarkable innovation in audio
quality and convenience that at last makes
high-performing wireless speakers a reality.
A remarkable combination of signal
transmission, reception and processing
technologies combine to ensure superb
signal reliability and a CD-quality sound
transmission that is a match for even the
most demanding audio systems.
KEF Wireless System is an ideal add-on for
any existing rear surround sound speaker
set-up (regardless of the brand), and can be
also used for stereo speakers in a hi-fi system
where hiding the cables is an inconvenience,
especially when the amplifier is some distance
from the speakers.
You can locate your speakers virtually
anywhere you want to in the room whilst still
receiving remarkable CD quality sound with
exceptional clarity and remarkable lack of
extraneous interference.
Simply connect a receiver to each speaker and
partner the transmitter with your amplifier to
make wires across your floor a thing of the
past. It is of course essential that even the
most high-performing technology is free from
complicated set up and operating procedures.
So we have made sure you’ll be up and
running in minutes thanks to simple
connections, with the only additional
requirement of delivering mains power to the
transmitter and receiver units through
discrete power adaptors.
Once in use, you can forget about the
technology because automated signal
processing means there are no buttons or
dials to get in the way of enjoying great sound.
This remarkable technology is available as
either a stand-alone kit to support an existing
system or a complete 5.1 home theatre
system in the 5000 Series (as detailed on
page 11).
