KEF announced the launch of KC92 force-canceling subwoofer and four new models in the Kube MIE Subwoofer Series, the Kube 8 MIE, Kube 10 MIE, Kube 12 MIE, and Kube 15 MIE.
According to the press release, both KC92 and Kube MIE Series feature KEF’s proprietary DSP algorithm, the Music Integrity Engine, which is tailored for each model anf ensures every component works within the individual subwoofer in perfect harmony. Powered by MIE, the iBX Intelligent Bass Extension creates an extended depth, while by analyzing the input signal, it allows the subwoofer to play louder and remain dynamic at any listening level.
The KC92 features two 9-inch drivers in a force-canceling configuration and incorporates the patent-pending P-Flex Surround (which was inspired by the Japanese art of origami), to resist sonic pressure without sacrificing sensitivity. A shallow, concave aluminum skin sits above a paper cone in the drivers’ hybrid structure, which also includes a vented voice coil and an enlarged motor system. The force-canceling layout of the KC92’s two drivers is back-to-back, ensuring reactive forces are eliminated, which reduces cabinet vibration and maximizes precision and detail. Amplification is through an audiophile-quality 2x500W of Class D amplification (a dedicated amp for each driver).
Kube MIE Series is available in four driver sizes (15, 12, 10, and 8-inch) and gives options to any room size and system requirements. Multiple connectivity options and room EQ settings make installation and setup a breeze, KEF states.
Each Kube MIE Series model has a long throw driver, a class D amp and a placement-dependent EQ component that is simply adjustable to maximize in-room performance thanks to KEF's Music Integrity Engine.
Kube adapts to a wide range of audio systems due to its extensive range of connection choices. The line level and speaker level inputs mean it can be connected to any amplifier. KEF SmartConnect optimizes the gain for best performance by sensing whether a mono or stereo input is being utilized, automatically.
