“Surround yourself with sound,
not speakers”

‘Five channel surround sound from only two front speakers’
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.
Cables have to be run to the rears. Before you know it, your living
space looks like a hi-fi showroom.
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.
The secret lies in combining KEF’s acclaimed Uni-Q®
“sit anywhere” driver concept with flat panel technology.
Each speaker has a front-firing array of Uni-Q drivers from the
award-winning KHT5000 and KHT6000 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 perfect balanced sound.
The hide-away subwoofer that best matches the fivetwo series is
KEF’s powerful HTB2 from the EISA award winning KHT3005
system. 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.
Available in sleek matt silver or high gloss black, 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.
