KEF unveils the LS50 50th Anniversary Model

KEF has announced the introduction of its new LS50 Mini Monitor speaker; a concept derived from the legendary LS3/5a and designed to bring professional studio monitor concept into the home.

The LS50 monitor is claimed to deliver a “rich, multi-dimensional ‘soundstage experience’ that is out of all proportion to its size.”

Patent-pending acoustic designs, together with technologies from KEF’s latest flagship Blade loudspeaker, provide a “studio experience – even in the smallest of spaces”.

At the LS50’s heart beats the highly acclaimed KEF Uni-Q driver array, capable of mastering an exceptional range of dynamic highs and lows over a large listening area.

The cabinet features constrained layer damping to reduce resonances in comparison to regular damping pads, while the baffle shape has been optimised for smooth on and off-axis dispersion as well as incorporating a ribbed rear surface to reduce cavity resonance at the rear of the driver.

The port has been optimised using computational fluid dynamics to offer lower turbulence at high levels.

The KEF LS50 comes is high gloss piano black cabinet with rose gold Uni-Q driver. Recommended retail price is £800.00 per pair.
