Driving the system is a dynamic High Fidelity amplifier combined with our custom NS+ drivers and for R3S we’ve now included STEREO+ sound processing which we developed for our limited edition R5 Signature. This creates a broader soundstage with depth and realism that extends way beyond R3S’s compact stature. Whatever your taste in music, R3S will fulfil the needs of even the most discerning listener.

Music, radio and podcasts, live and on-demand

R3S directly supports key streaming services including Spotify Connect*, Amazon Music and Deezer, and with its latest generation Bluetooth 5 receiver every other streaming service available. Bluetooth 5 provides excellent sound quality with a more robust and efficient connection meaning that connected devices will run longer without needing a recharge. The Bluetooth function also seamlessly integrates with the volume control on phones and tablets, so when volume is adjusted this also shows on the display of R3S.

Radio is evolving and with its SmartRadio tuner R3S will maximise your enjoyment of this timeless medium. DAB/DAB+ and FM tuners provide access to local and national broadcasts and its Internet Tuner allows you access high quality streams and stations world-wide. In addition with the growth of Podcasts, R3S now has a source dedicated to this increasingly popular format. For listen again shows and whatever your interest, a podcast to suit your taste is only a few clicks away using our slick RotoDial controller or supplied IR remote. Also available is a free Android and iOS control app called UNDOK. This also allows full control of R3S and is particularly useful for searching Internet radio stations and podcasts.

*R3S will also support Spotify Hi-Fi when made available

CD playback and much more

CD is still a fantastic way to enjoy music and with its high specification player R3S allows customers to reconnect with their CDs and rediscover the fun of browsing cover art and the liner notes on the pull-out sleeves. Alongside standard CDs, R3S will also plays self-made CDs encoded with WAV and MP3 files and in addition displays track and artist information when the data is available on the disc.

On the rear panel we’ve included a USB-C playback and charge port, a headphone output and switchable analogue and digital inputs so devices such as a Turntable or TV can be easily connected. For film buffs and lovers of bass orientated music, the line outputs can be switched so they can be used for connection to an active subwoofer. We currently have our own subwoofer under development, but many good quality active subwoofers will work with R3S to add an extra level of dynamic realism to its already impressive sound.

R610 Music Console delivers aesthetic appeal seldom seen among hi-fi components and this same devotion to detail is matched within. Powering R610 is a modern switch mode power supply, providing optimised powerlines to the system’s motherboard and latest generation digital amplifiers. With Burr-Brown DACs and audio grade components used throughout and a nominal output of 75 watts per channel, R610 is controlled and dynamic – but most importantly, it delivers a delightfully natural sound that makes music thoroughly enjoyable.

You’re in Control

Our RotoDial controller has been a distinctive part of our products since 2006. For 100 Series we have refined its design further and with tactile soft touch buttons and a precisely weighted control dial, it makes operating R610 a delight. Enhancing the operating experience is the crisp 5″ TFT display which confirms every command, as well as showing album and station artwork in perfect clarity. Also included is a matching rechargeable remote. Bluetooth connectivity means that aiming is not required, so you can relax and fully control R610 from afar.

Divine Connection

The R610 streaming amplifier provides all the connectivity you are ever likely to need, and with a powerful processor it is capable of handling the highest quality audio streams. With Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay and Google Cast all built in, a vast selection of music awaits to be discovered.

R610 also makes it easy to rediscover treasured physical music formats. A quality phono stage makes it simple to connect a turntable, while for CD playback we will soon be unveiling our own Compact Disc Player called R-CD100. This will integrate and connect with R610 and our other 100 Series models via the USB socket on the rear. Last but not least, R610’s HDMI ARC/eARC connection provides a great sound solution for those seeking a system that also elevates TV and film enjoyment to a new level.

Performance

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.

12th generation Uni-Q with MAT
Even beyond the flawless musical performance, LS50 Wireless II is a breeze to set up thanks to the KEF Connect app. It is intuitive to use with any source in your home, and it allows simple over-the-air firmware updates that bring you new and improved features with the minimum of fuss.

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 a 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, incredibly 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.

The perfect colour for you
LS50 Wireless II is available in three matte finishes, carbon black, titanium grey, and mineral white, as well as a Crimson Red Special Edition. All the colour options are mirrored on both the drive units and the rear-facing port. The top-mounted control panel is designed to be stylish and functional.
