LSX is fully wireless, both from source and between the speakers and supports Spotify Connect, TIDAL (via KEF Stream app) and will feature Apple AirPlay 2 technology enabling multi-room streaming from an iPhone, iPad or Mac in early 2019.
LSX is fully wireless, both from source and between the speakers and will feature Apple AirPlay 2 technology enabling multi-room streaming from an iPhone, iPad or Mac in early 2019. It is also DLNA compliant and has TOSLINK Optical and Auxiliary connections making it easy to use with a TV.
The speakers have four Class-D amplifiers, one for each of the drive units, alongside dedicated twin DACs that provide a signal path of up to 96kHz/24bit (using the optional wired connection between the two speakers) or 48kHz/24bit in completely wireless operation.
The speakers can be set-up in minutes using the KEF’s Control app, which also manages firmware updates as they become available.
LSX comes in a choice of five colours – Black, Blue, Maroon, Olive and Gloss White and measure 240mm x 155mm x 180mm.
