Over four decades of
innovation and a passion for
engineering excellence has
established KEF as one of the
most respected names in
high-end audio. The ideal that inspired KEFs founder Raymond Cooke in 1961 was to re\
produce recordings so accurately
that they sounded indistinguishable from live performance, which is why \
so many professionals (including
the BBC) adopted his groundbreaking designs. This spirit of continual i\
nnovation in pursuit of perfection
is what has driven KEF engineers ever since. KEF speakers are like no ot\
hers, and few manufacturers
have pioneered as many breakthroughs in loudspeaker design - from radica\
l new cabinet designs,
cone materials and driver configurations to the use of aerospace technol\
ogies and advanced sonic
modelling techniques.
So the new C Series is the product of a multi award-winning heritage of \
daring design, brilliantly executed.
Today, it finds expression in revolutionary concepts like the KEF Muon (\
www.kef.com/products/muon),
where ultra-sophisticated driver arrays are shrouded in giant Ross Loveg\
rove-designed towers of
superformed aluminium. The same talented engineers created the speakers \
you see in these pages,
with just as much attention to detail and engineering integrity.

The same
19mm (0.75in.) tweeter from
the latest Q Series reproduces vocals
with spellbinding realism -“ the unique
tangerine waveguide disperses its sweet
natural clarity evenly throughout the room
and provides excellent protection from
straying fingers.
Ultra-rigid
enclosures
The sound
you hear is untainted by any
internal resonance from the sturdily
constructed cabinet, thanks to careful
internal bracing and a dense dual-layered
baffle system.

shielding
Freedom of
positioning is virtually unrestricted
because every C Series speaker is
fully magnetically shielded to eliminate
any risk of interference with other
electronic devices in the room.

The exceptional acoustic definition
you experience depends on the
recorded signal being perfectly
transmitted, so the twinned binding
posts of the C Series are gold-plated.
Dual

To optimise acoustic resolution,
there are dual sets of binding posts
to accommodate bi-wiring, or, for the
cleanest possible response right across
the frequency range, bi-amplification. Forward-firing
slot port
Bass response is further extended
by a frontal slot port carefully
contoured to maximise low frequency
dispersion and minimise any unwanted
turbulence that might otherwise colour the
well-defined output of the bass drivers.

With no ugly brackets to
spoil the clean lines, it couldnt be
easier to secure your C Series satellites
(upright or horizontally) to any suitable
vertical surface using the ingeniously neat
keyhole mounting point built into the back
of each cabinet.

The range is engineered for a perfect tonal match between every model, s\
o you can combine them
however you please. Using the ingenious and highly flexible C6LCR (left\
/centre/right) for all five main
speakers, for example, gives you a home theatre system of truly epic cap\
abilities. Not only does it deliver
precise and engaging vocals but it is also adept at producing a rich and\
extensive performance enviable
of any satellite speaker.
Ease of use and flexibility have been engineered into all C Series model\
s from front firing ports for closer
positioning to walls, to the discreet wall mounting brackets fitted to e\
ach of the bookshelf speakers.
Even the floorstanders are supplied with dedicated plinths to provide gr\
eater stability.
Acoustically the C Series provides the sort of clarity, definition and s\
patial precision normally associated
with speakers of a much higher price. Power handling is uniformly excell\
ent, so theyre easy to drive with
virtually any amplifier and whether used for music, movies or games, the\
sheer quality of the sound they
produce is equally captivating.
Choose between classic Black Ash or fine-grained European Walnut finishe\
s - whatever your taste,
were confident that the C Series will hugely exceed your expectation\
s of audio enjoyment.
The C1 pairs the superbly accurate
19mm (0.75in.) tweeter and tangerine
waveguide from the latest Q Series with
a slot-ported 100mm (4in.) midrange/bass
cone. Both sit on a dense two-layer front
baffle system to deliver a complex,
profoundly realistic and spatially accurate
soundscape. With excellent power
handling and a carefully tuned crossover,
the C1 delivers a generously full
performance that belies its discreet
appearance and modest size. Coom

C SERIES
Clear, confident and natural sounding,
the C3 boasts KEFs 130mm (5.25in.)
bass driver for impressively extended
low frequency response to complement
the seductive realism of the sophisticated
19mm (0.75in.) tweeter and tangerine
waveguide. The resulting soundscape
is warm, rich in detail and compellingly
three-dimensional, whether youre
enjoying a favourite track or watching
a movie. MMu
