Perfect companions to a pair of Kef LSX, Kef LS50 Meta or Kef LS50 Wireless II stereo speakers, the Kef Kube 8 MIE, Kef Kube 10 MIE, Kef Kube 12 MIE or Kef Kube 15 MIE subwoofers can also be combined to a 5.0 Home Cinema pack (for example Kef R series speakers) for Home Cinema sessions on a tenfold scale.
Kef Kube 8/10/12/15, the choice of membrane ££££
The number present in the references of the Kef Kube subwoofer series corresponds to the diameter of the woofer membrane: from 20 cm to 38 cm via 25 cm and 30 centimeters. Note that the Kef Kube 15 MIE reference is new compared to the previous Kube series.
Kef Kube 8/10/12/15 MIE, DSP in action££££
To make a long story short, the new Kef Kube 8/10/12/15 MIE boxes take up most of the specifications of the Kube modulo the MIE plugin (Music Integrity Engine), basically a selection of DSP algorithms which constantly analyze the signal to avoid the risk of clipping in order to enhance sound performance. Thus, the audio rendering is optimized for each of the Kef Kube.
Kef Kube 8/10/12/15 MIE, iBX Intelligent Bass££££
We can also mention the iBX Intelligent Bass technology for even more depth. Real-time signal analysis is accompanied by a multitude of permanent micro-adjustments for perfect exploitation of the loudspeaker's potential.
Kef Kube 8/10/12/15 MIE, a nice look and good ergonomics££££
For the rest, in addition to their size, the Kef Kube 8/10/12/15 subwoofers MIE sport an identical sober and discreet design (the closed design of the case is undoubtedly no stranger to this). Precision, the latter allows you to “fit†a Kef Kube in a piece of furniture, if the need to hide it arises. Three programmed equalizer settings are available depending on the placement of the subwoofer: room, wall/furniture and corner.
Kef Kube 8/10/12/15 MIE, Kef KW1 wireless module££££
The Kef Kube subwoofers can of course accommodate the Kef KW1 wireless module (5 GHz). Thus, with a range of 30 m, it is possible to place the box freely in a room. Signal transfer is ensured up to 48 Hz/24 bits.
Kef Kube 8/10/12/15 MIE, settings and connections££££
It is on the rear panel that it is possible to activate/deactivate the low pass filter (LFE), to adjust the cutoff frequency (from 40 Hz to 140 Hz), to adjust the phase (0°-180°), to select one of the three audio presets depending on the listening room and/or the placement of the Kube (in a corner, against a wall…).
It is also necessary to point out a mono connection via LFE, a low level RCA stereo input, a high level Euroblock type terminal block input and a SmartConnect connection capable of detecting mono or stereo sound tracks to adjust the gain, therefore the volume, of the box accordingly.
Available in satin black color for the most beautiful effect. Indicative prices: €649 for the Kef Kube 8 MIE, €799 for the Kef Kube 10 MIE, €899 for the Kef Kube 12 MIE and €1,299 for the Kef Kube 15 MIE.
