Owner's Manual

Flexible port technology
When it comes to generating deep, articulate bass, port design is a vital element.
The ports in the R Series are precisely positioned and feature innovative exible walls. Using computational uid dynamics, the are and prole
of each port is calculated to delay the onset of turbulence, while the exible port walls prevent longitudinal resonances from colouring the
midrange.
The result is not only better bass, but cleaner sound further up the frequency range in the vital lower midrange area.
Beautiful by design
Great design is timeless. KEF’s designers seek to create deceptively simple, elegant loudspeakers. While the drive unit arrangement is rightfully
driven by acoustic, rather than aesthetic considerations, each loudspeaker is visually appealing without resorting to brash styling.
Finishes
Understated design is complemented by carefully selected nishes. Conceived to be at home in either traditional or modern interiors, the R
Series comes in a choice of two exceptionally sleek gloss nishes or a classic wood veneer.
These nishes go deeper than just a base colour. Each speaker benets from KEF’s tone-on-tone approach to design where the tweeter dome,
driver cones, feet, spikes and KEF logo are tone matched to the nish.
Grilles
The R Series has been created to sound at its best without grilles. However, optional dedicated microbre grilles are available for the R Series.
Each grille is crafted from 13 layers of material and has a wonderful suede-like feel, and thanks to 1801 precision-cut holes for each driver
the performance with the grilles in situ offers a considerable improvement on standard MDF acoustic cloth grilles, therefore minimises the
traditional compromise between great sound and driver protection. The magnetic xings provide a secure, precise t, in keeping with the clean
styling of the R Series.
Surround sound
The new R Series is your ticket for getting the best out of movies, delivering the natural, consistent sound essential for a phenomenal surround
sound experience.
The same sized Uni-Q array is shared by the R2c centre channel, the R3 stand mount and all three oorstanding models. Creating a consistent
sound character, this ensures that focus is entirely on the lm and not the equipment around the room.
Plus, the R Series includes the R8a, a closed box speaker designed to be either wall mounted for surround applications or used as a speaker-
on-top Dolby Atmos module. And with the addition of any of KEF’s class-leading subwoofers, the whole cinematic experience is felt, from the
deepest impact to the softest whisper.
