Design Meets SubstanceThe KC62 is not just designed to work sonically within your home, but aesthetically as well. Crafted from extruded aluminium, the curved cabinet perfectly blends form and function, providing strength and beauty. Whilst diminutive enough to blend into the décor, the Carbon Black and Mineral White finishes also make KC62 an exceptionally attractive statement. | Well ConnectedThe KC62 is also incredibly versatile, with a collection of connection options that allow it to be used with almost any audio system. Line level/speaker level inputs mean it can be connected to any amplifier, line output with HPF allows for exceptional fine-tuned integration, while KEF SmartConnect eliminates any connection issues. The KC62 is also compatible with the KW1 for wireless compatibility with the minimum of fuss. | Same Performance, EverywhereKC62 slips effortlessly into any environment or listening room, thanks to the five pre-set Room Placement Equalisation feature, which ensures you get the same performance from KC62 no matter where you decide to place it; in free space, next to the wall, in a corner, nestled within a cabinet or using the dedicated apartment mode. | Uni-Core Driver TechnologyA completely new take on traditional force cancelling arrangements, the Uni-Core design delivers ultra-compact size and big performance. In order to simultaneously deliver unprecedented performance and the benefits of force cancelling from a compact size, Uni-Core combines both drivers into a single magnet system, with the voice coils concentrically arranged. This allows the cabinet size to be reduced by over a third, while equaling or exceeding the driver excursion of a much larger subwoofer, unlocking more output and depth from less space. |

P-Flex Surround (aka Origami Surround)The second of the three new technologies in KC62 is a brand-new design of driver surround. The new, patent-pending P-Flex surround is engineered to better resist the acoustic pressure in the cabinet without limiting sensitivity in the same way traditional surround designs do. To achieve this, it uses a unique pleated design inspired by Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, which resists the internal air pressure without adding excessive mass, allowing the driver to move precisely as required by the audio signal. The result is deeper bass extension and a more accurate and detailed bass reproduction. | Smart Distortion Control TechnologyThe KC62 also innovates with the patent-pending, sensorless Smart Distortion Control Technology. This ground-breaking motional feedback system helps correct any minute abnormalities that may occur. It does this by measuring the current in the voice coil and detecting and correcting any non-linear distortions. This reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) by up to 75% and thus delivers a more accurate, less coloured bass performance. | Music Integrity EngineKC62âs performance is finetuned even further by a bespoke selection of in-house designed DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms in the form of KEFâs Music Integrity Engine. Algorithms including iBX (Intelligent Bass Extension) and SmartLimiter, which constantly analyses the signal to prevent clipping, work together to ensure the perfect relationship between every component. | Turn up the PowerThe final piece of the performance puzzle is amplification, which the KC62 has in abundance. The twin drivers are powered by 1,000W RMS (2 x 500W) of specially designed Class D amplification, providing exceptional levels of control and the ability to deliver sudden bursts of power when required, for example when enjoying your favourite high-octane action sequence. |

The KEF KC62 Uni-Core Subwoofer delivers powerful, deep bass in a remarkably compact design i can barely see it in my livingroom . With 1000W output and force-canceling tech, it provides rich, distortion-free sound, perfect for high-quality audio setups.
Very quick delivery. Replaced old broken B&W PV1 which I loved and it served me well for many years. I was concerned about what to replace it with. Did a straight replacement (without any real calibration yet), was blown away. Excellent piece of kit! Extremly good, smooth, deep base, amazing how a sub so small can acheive this quality. Can’t wait to fully calibrate with speakers on my Denon X3800H, will be even better for sure!
Matches my LS50’s perfectly. They are expensive, but it’s tiny size makes it’s performance seem unbelivable. Adds so much depth and ambience to the sound, and is never boomy or overbearing. So small and so good.
Edit du 13/04/24: je mets 5 toiles car il y a un paramtre sur (l’horrible) appli Kef Connect qui permet d’activer en permanence le caisson quand les enceintes Kef s’allume, mais ce n’est valable uniquement qu’avec des Kef connects… Dommage pour ceux qui veulent le brancher sur un ampli.
Commentaire d’origine :
Connect mes LX2, ca donne tout simplement une autre dimension au son et ramne de la rondeur au LX2 qui ont un son plutt plat (mme en les rglant via l’appli).
Vu la petite taille du caisson, on peut le poser sur le meuble TV, ce dernier ne vibre pas du tout malgr la puissance. J’ai un salon de 30m et aucun problme, ca bombarde. 1000W ca chauffe, mme volume raisonnable, mais c’est acceptable.
L’toile en moins, c’est pour le mme souci que certains dcrivent : il faut “pousser” le volume sonore pour qu’il se rveille. C’est vraiment dommage qu’il faille l’utiliser un volume soutenu, car quand on rduit le volume aprs, on ressent toujours l’apport du caisson, mais ce dernier se remet en veille au bout d’une minute (et le son redevient tout plat). Kef devrait augmenter la sensibilit (o donner la possibilit l’utilisateur de le rgler) pour la sortie de veille et ce caisson serait juste parfait !
This was the first subwoofer I purchased, but I wouldn’t consider buy another one instead. KF92 is tempting, but I wouldn’t sacrifice the compactness of the kc62. This subwoofer is very good and I even prefer my ruark mr1 mk2 connected to this over my pair of ls 50 meta without it.
The sensations it gives are fantastic and it’s easy to setup quieter when you need to not bother your neighbours. Even If it cost a lot, I couldn’t resist buy a 2nd one to see how enjoyable they can get. Didn’t felt the need for a 2nd one actually, I’m still waiting for it and hoping I’ll be able to spot a difference, because it is soo good right now I wouldn’t be suprise if another one just add more coverage.
L’ho acquistato per dare un contributo in gamma bassa a due satelliti Spendor SA1, pi che altro per la musica sinfonica, dove le noti gravi e la completezza e del suono con i mini diffusori difetta un po’. Devo dire che ottimizzando il posizionamento, regolato il volume e impostato il taglio di frequenza corretto si apre un mondo… consiglio vivamente l’acquisto a chi vuole migliorare con qualit il suono dell’impianto. Cinque stelle
Works well with my LP12, Blu-ray and SADC player, Cyrus amp and Acoustic Energy tower speakers.
Found it easy to setup, though the multi language manual is not great, and am impressed with the appreciable bass extension it has given me alongside the extra thump in the bass.
Very happy.
Nonostante le piccole dimensione le prestazioni sono elevate. Lo ho installato nel peggiore dei modi ” in un mobile”. Ho selezionato l’apposita curva e le prestazioni sono buone nonostante sia all’interno di un mobile. La consegna di Amazon puntuale come sempre. Il prezzo buono. Comperare questi prodotti su Amazon consigliato dato che per due anni in caso di problemi viene sostituito o rimborsato. Con l’importatore ufficiale se capita un problema un p complesso da trovare sei abbandonato a te stesso. Inoltre lo paghi di pi. Amazon per sempre.
