KEF C Series C7 Manuel utilisateur

C Series

An unrivalled pedigree

For decades audiophiles around the world have revered

KEF (Kent Engineering and Foundry) for its innovative,

high-performance loudspeakers. The company was

founded in 1961 by Raymond Cooke OBE (1925-1995),

a former BBC electrical engineer, widely acknowledged

in the audio industry as a leading authority in transducer

technology.

The pioneering inventiveness of KEF loudspeakers was

undeniable. During the 1960s and early 1970s, KEF’s

reputation was further enhanced by its outstanding

performance. From the mid 1960s, KEF collaborated

with the BBC in developing new materials for high-end

loudspeakers - the results being embodied in the classic

LS3/5a monitor which generated worldwide sales of

more than 100,000 systems.

KEF’s Uni-Q®technology was introduced in 1988 and

since then KEF has maintained its position at the

forefront of loudspeaker and home theatre systems.

The core values of KEF: innovation, quality and

performance have ensured that KEF has one of the

best international reputations for audio excellence.

Incredible performers – whatever your taste…

C Series technologies

Dual signal transmission

To optimize 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.

Gold-plated terminals

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.

Invisible keyhole wall mounting system

With no ugly brackets to spoil the clean lines, it couldn’t 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.

Forward-firing slot port

Bass response is enhanced by a frontal slot port carefully contoured to

minimise any unwanted turbulence that might otherwise colour the

well-defined output of the bass drivers.

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 front baffle system.

Aluminium dome tweeter with ‘tangerine’ waveguide

The same 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter 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.

New C Series is the product of a multi award-winning heritage of daring design, brilliantly executed. The range is engineered

for a perfect tonal match between every model, so you can combine them however you please. Acoustically the C Series

provides the sort of clarity, definition and spatial precision normally associated with speakers of a much higher price. Power

handling is uniformly excellent, so they can be used with virtually any amplifier and whether used for music, movies or

games, the sheer quality of the sound they produce is equally captivating.

A compact yet solidly built floorstander, the C5 combines

the latest 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter and ‘tangerine’ wave-

guide with two 130mm (5.25in.) bass drivers in a slim,

internally braced cabinet. Meticulously tuned crossovers

ensure seamless transitions and dual binding posts allow

bi-wiring or bi-amplification. Whatever the genre,

whatever the medium, the resulting sonic picture is open,

fluent and involving.

Slim floorstander

If you‘re serious about sound, you’ll find the C7 an intensely

satisfying companion. With KEF’s phenomenal 19mm

(0.75in.) tweeter and ‘tangerine’ waveguide, complemented

by a pair of large 165mm (6.5in.) bass drivers, an intricate

and disarmingly natural three-dimensional sound image

floods the room. As with all of the new C Series models,

the highly rigid cabinet is vented by a carefully contoured

front port to provide a wide and powerful bass.

Large floorstander

Large bookshelf

Clear, confident and natural sounding, the C3 boasts KEF’s

130mm (5.25in.) bass driver for impressively extended

low frequency response to complementing 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

you’re enjoying a favourite track or watching a movie.

Compact bookshelf

The C1 pairs the superbly accurate 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter

and ‘tangerine’ waveguide from the latest Q Series with a

slot-ported 100mm (4in.) mid-range / 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.

C6LCR

Centre channel

The vital centre channel is at the heart of any 5.1

surround sound set-up except that the remarkable C6LCR

can be used as front and rear units too. The latest 19mm

(0.75in.) aluminium tweeter with ‘tangerine’ waveguide is

flanked by two 130mm (5.25in.) LF drivers to produce

both a centre speaker with precise and captivating vocals

and a powerful ‘LCR’ adding depth and dynamics to any

5.1 system.

Powered subwoofer

Unobtrusively handsome, yet powerful, the new C4

subwoofer provides an incredible bass output with

immaculate control. With a 200W on-board amplifier

driving a 200mm (8in.) front-firing bass driver, the C4 is

engineered to minimise distortion as meticulously as the

rest of the range and adds effortless depth and weight to

any performance.
