KEF Cuts the Wires on New Subwoofer

KEF cut the wires to their latest subwoofer. The new wireless HTB2SE-W is a marriage of two KEF products – the HTB2 subwoofer, and the Universal Wireless kit.

Simple to set up and easy to operate, the HTB2SE-W has CD quality sound with latest technology for real-time audio with no loss or dropouts. Using the design from the HTB2SE, the subwoofer's 250W Class-D amplifier powers a 250mm (10in.) driver which, together with an auxiliary bass radiator produces deep, excellent sounding bass. And, the subwoofer's automated signal processing means there are no buttons or dials to get in the way of enjoying great sound.

Featuring HFADPCM wireless technology, the sub can be positioned vertically or horizontally with no worries of wires getting in the way. It also features SmartBass with easy to use bass boost and phase controls.

"Finally, discriminating music and movie lovers can have a great sounding subwoofer without having to fuss with wires and complicated setup", commented Alec Chanin, President of KEF America. "With our new HTB2SE-W, the end-user can be up and running in minutes without wires running across their floor. Better yet, its unique design with vertical or horizontal placement options, it can be placed almost anywhere in the listening area. This sub is finally what the market has been waiting for. "

The KEF HTB2SE-W comes with amplifier and wireless transmitter for $1200 MSRP. It is available for pre-order now and will be shipping in October 2009.
