CONNECTIVITY
Play all the music in the world

At the digital heart of the LSX II sits the same cutting-edge W2 wireless platform that drives the mighty LS50 Wireless II. This ensures that no matter how you like to listen to music, you can do so with the minimum of fuss and in pristine sound quality.

The KEF Connect app lets you stream Amazon Music, Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Internet Radio stations and podcasts. Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast seamlessly stream audio from compatible devices, whilst Bluetooth expands the options even further. You can use native apps to stream directly from Spotify
Connect, Tidal and QPlay, and it is Roon Ready. When using Airplay 2, Chromecast or Roon you can stream to multiple speakers, so you can play music all over your house.

If that wasn’t enough, LSX II can also play your own private music collection from a compatible NAS drive or music server. Plus, audiophiles are covered with extensive file support up to 24bit/384kHz (PCM), DSD, and full MQA rendering.

Plug and play to TV and laptop

Alongside Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, LSX II also boasts a comprehensive collection of wired connections. These include HDMI ARC for seamless control using TV remote and a high-quality USB-C input which makes LSX II the perfect desktop system with your computer. There are also connections for your turntable, CD player, games console, and many other devices. And, if you demand your movies and music come with some extra
bottom end, there’s a dedicated output so you can connect a KEF subwoofer for the bass you crave.

PERFORMANCE
High-Fidelity sound

The beauty of the two-speaker box approach is that music is given space to breathe and develop, creating a three-dimensional soundstage. The speakers appear to disappear, leaving you to enjoy the immersive performance that unfolds in front of you, drawing you into the experience.

Each LSX II speaker uses a version of KEF 11th generation Uni-Q driver array specially designed for this loudspeaker. This signature technology acts as a point source, where the tweeter is placed at the precise acoustic centre of the woofer, recreating how sound is produced naturally. This design eliminates the traditional, tiny 'sweet spot,' instead delivering accurate, pristine sound to all listeners.

LSX II has a combined 200 Watts of system power. Both the tweeter and woofer are powered by their own dedicated amplifier to deliver room-filling sound in such compact cabinets.

Performance is further enhanced from the award-winning original by the Music Integrity Engine. The cutting-edge collection of bespoke Digital Signal Processing algorithms has just got an update. Optimised for the Uni-Q driver, the Music Integrity Engine enables LSX II to deliver a perfectly timed performance, for better clarity and a tighter, more accurate sound.
