At the heart of Blade lies Single Apparent Source technology; a unique technology that aims to achieve the acoustic ideal of a point source, where low, mid and high frequencies radiate from one point. It is what makes the Blade incredibly coherent, with noticeably more precise imaging.

The latest version of Blade 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.

Our in-house KEF product design team initially worked alongside Eric Chan of ECCO Design to create a distinctive visual identity to match Blade’s towering performance. The resulting cabinet form was inspired by Brancusi’s seminal modernist masterpiece ‘Bird in Space’. Tapering gracefully from top to bottom and from front to rear, the slim proportions made possible by the orientation of the bass drivers give Blade a sculptural presence in its own right.

Blade is available in a palette of eight finishes, created by blending five cabinet finishes with six Uni-Q® driver cone colours: Arctic White/Champagne, Piano Black/Copper, Piano Black/Grey, Charcoal Grey/Bronze, Charcoal Grey/Red, Frosted Blue/Bronze, Frosted Blue/Blue, and Racing Red/Grey.

Looking to make a distinctive statement with Blade or looking for the perfect colour match for your listening room? You can simply create your own customised colour scheme by supplying a Pantone of your choice for the speaker enclosure to match with any of the six standard Uni-Q® driver cone colours.
