FULL REVIEW

Pristine sound, intuitive usability

The LS50 Wireless II is not just an enhancement, but rather an innovative evolution from the first-generation of LS50 speakers. With the original LS50 Wireless, KEF set the bar high for high-performance wireless speakers. Now, after three years of intensive research, the LS50 Wireless II raises that benchmark even further with state-of-the-art Metamaterial Absorption Technology to deliver pristine sound, intuitive usability and high-performance wireless capability.

All your devices

Out-of-the-box wireless compatibility with AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast and more, backed up with wired connections such as HDMI for your TV, turntable, CD player and games console. Whatever source you’ve got, LS50 Wireless II is ready for it.

HiFi enthusiast

LS50 Wireless II has audiophiles covered with support for streaming music files up to 24bit/384kHz, as well as MQA, DSD, and Roon Ready. These features mean that even the experienced hifi enthusiast will marvel at this exceptional loudspeaker’s ability.

Seamless home integration

LS50 Wireless II is more than a high-fidelity speaker system - it is designed to enhance your everyday life. Seamlessly integrate LS50 Wireless II into your smart home to browse and play music, select sources, or use controls such as play, pause, and adjust the volume via your smart home app or control interface.

Wired or wireless connectivity

You can choose to operate LS50 Wireless II completely wirelessly at 24bit/96kHz resolution for a completely clutter-free set up, or you can connect the two speakers with the supplied cable for 24bit/192kHz resolution sound.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology

A truly revolutionary tool in the KEF acoustic armoury, Metamaterial Absorption Technology (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.

Every spot is the sweet spot with 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT™

LS50 Wireless II melts away, leaving you to enjoy the music. Revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology eliminates distortion for a purer, more natural sound, while our 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT driver array delivers three-dimensional, wonderfully revealing sound anywhere in the room.

Music Integrity Engine

All aspects of the LS50 Wireless II's performance is aided by KEF's bespoke Music Integrity Engine. This collection of bespoke Digital Signal Processing algorithms is optimised for the Uni-Q driver, enabling it to deliver a perfectly timed performance, for better imaging and tighter sound.

Plentiful power

The built in amplifiers have been developed in-house by KEF. Each tweeter is driven by a 100W class A/B amplifier that delivers a smooth, incredible detailed treble performance. Dedicated 280W class D amplifiers power the mid/bass drivers, for room-filling, controlled sound up to 108dB.

Attention to every detail

Every aspect of LS50 Wireless II has been considered for acoustic benefits and from a design perspective. The low-diffraction, curved baffle is precision modelled around the Uni-Q driver, while eye-catching heat sinks and colour-matched ports are located on the well-equipped rear. The top-mounted control panel is designed to be stylish and functional.
