Description

LS60 Wireless

Celebrating 60 years of acoustic innovation, LS60 Wireless is the KEF Audio vision of high-fidelity sound for the future. An all-in-one speaker system that allows you to stream from any source and connect to any home audio devices with audiophile-grade power. The iconic slim design is the work of Michael Young and the KEF product design team.

LS60 Wireless aims to bring high-fidelity sound to more people in their homes. With the combination of all key KEF technologies, LS60 Wireless delivers high-fidelity sound up to 24bit / 384kHz.

Play anything – hear everything. LS60 Wireless delivers robust, high-quality streaming using any format you can imagine, thanks to the same class-leading W2 wireless platform KEF introduced on the award-winning LS50 Wireless II. No matter which music service, podcast, internet radio or wired source, LS60 Wireless delivers a peerless performance.

LS60 Wireless has out-of-the-box wireless compatibility with Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast and Bluetooth. Using the KEF Connect app you can stream Amazon Music, Qobuz, and Deezer or tune in to internet radio and podcasts. You can use native apps to stream directly from Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and QPlay, and it is Roon Ready. LS60 Wireless also supports the streaming of PCM files up to 24bit / 384kHz, as well as MQA decoding and DSD.​​​​​

LS60 Wireless also supports all your wired sources, whether you love to listen to vinyl records on your turntable or want to get the best possible sound from your CD player and games console. There’s also an HDMI (eARC) connection for a high-quality link up with your TV, and a dedicated output on each of the two speakers for the addition of one or two KEF subwoofers.

LS60 Wireless is powered by the W2 wireless platform, with user-centric features that are ready from the start, from intuitive onboarding to customising your listening experience via the KEF Connect App. This features intuitive sound settings so you can fine-tune your LS60 Wireless to best suit your room. There are normal and expert modes, to ensure every user gets the best performance.

Single Apparent Source

At the heart of LS60 Wireless sits the Single Apparent Source technology adapted from our flagship Blade loudspeaker. It aims to achieve the acoustic ideal of a point source, where low, mid and high frequencies radiate from one point. It is what makes LS60 Wireless incredibly coherent, with more precise and clear sound across the whole bandwidth.

Uni-Q Driver Array

Uni-Q technology is the building block of KEF signature sound. Designed to perform at its best in LS60 Wireless, the remarkable 12th generation Uni-Q driver array acts as a single point source enlarges the ‘sweet spot’ and disperses sound more evenly, allowing everyone sitting at different spots in the room to experience the same natural, detailed sound.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology

The LS60 Wireless benefits from our latest acoustic innovation: Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™). MAT™ is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing purer, more natural sound.

Uni-Core

LS60 Wireless features the revolutionary Uni-Core technology that redefines size versus performance. Two pairs of Uni-Core bass drivers are mounted back-to-back in a force-cancelling arrangement, so cabinet vibration is practically eliminated. Together with P-Flex driver surround and Smart Distortion Control Technology, the bass is balanced, detailed, deep and powerful.

Music Integrity Engine

Music Integrity Engine is the brain behind LS60 Wireless. It is precisely tuned to allow the Single Apparent Source configuration and the Uni-Core drivers to work in perfect harmony, elevating the performance of each. Its low-frequency phase correction feature delivers pinpoint timing exactly as if you were listening to the original sound.
