KEF is one of the first TIDAL device partners on TIDAL Connect globally. KEF LS50 Wireless II users can now enjoy the convenience of streaming directly from the TIDAL native app.

Global music and entertainment streaming platform, TIDAL, has launched TIDAL Connect, the first and only HiFi casting technology from a music streaming service, which allows users to stream directly to their connected LS50 Wireless II speakers.

TIDAL HiFi

For the first time ever, TIDAL HiFi members can now enjoy uninterrupted playback of their favourite albums or tracks in their preferred quality on their preferred devices, with the TIDAL app functioning as a controller. Available to TIDAL Premium members as well, users can connect to their LS50 Wireless II speakers by opening the “Now Playing,” screen while playing a song, click on the device selector on the bottom left, and choose your KEF LS50 Wireless II.

MQA

TIDAL Connect is also the only casting technology to feature support for the extended audio formats available through TIDAL HiFi, including Master Quality Authenticated recordings (MQA), and Dolby Atmos. MQA delivers master quality sound as the artist intended it, and Dolby Atmos provides listeners with breakthrough immersive audio experiences through spatialised, object-based audio.

KEF LS50 Wireless II

After three years of intensive research, the latest KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers have the new W2 wireless platform, a new cabinet and advanced Digital Signal Processing, KEF’s Music Integrity Engine and 380W of amplification, (a new 100W class A/B amplifier powers the tweeters and a 280W class D amplifier powers the mid/bass drivers). They also feature KEF’s new Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT).

LS50 Wireless II is available in four finishes; Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, Mineral White as well as a Crimson Red Special Edition.
