KEF R50 Dolby Atmos-Enabled Loudspeakers
The R50 has been designed to sit above free-standing AV surround sound loudspeakers. This loudspeaker aids to form the 'bubble of realistic sound' that Dolby Atmos brings to home cinema enthusiasts, allowing a truly immersive experience within an astonishingly three-dimensional sound image.
The R50 uses the same sophisticated 'sit-anywhere' Uni-Q driver array found within all models of the R series. The driver construction consists of a 25mm (1") vented aluminium tweeter located within the centre of a compelling 130mm (5.25") bass/midrange driver. This speaker's job is to beam sound upwards and toward the ceiling, in order to envelope the listening within a superlatively realistic, multidimensional soundscape, complete with every meticulous microdynamic and subtlety.
Who is KEF and what is their R Series?
KEF is a highly renowned, multi-award winning loudspeaker manufacturer, whose high-quality products can be found all over the world. They were founded in Maidstone, Kent in 1961 by electrical engineer Raymond Cooke, who was awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 1979. The KEF name comes from Kent Engineering & Foundry, who were previous occupants of the KEF site. The company have designed loudspeakers for the BBC, and have a vast range of products at many different price points.
KEF's R series features many of the prestigious speaker company's latest and most impressive innovation in premium high fidelity audio and home theatre loudspeaker technology. The R series takes authentic audiophile quality standards and brings them to a much more affordable price range. The range utilises KEF's latest Uni-Q driver array, combined with newly developed bass drivers and enhanced components throughout. This results in a wide and vast stereo image, complete with flawless accuracy that many reference level speakers from lesser brands are unable to achieve.
