KEF has announced the LS LUXE wireless speaker. At its core: KEF’s 12th-generation 6.5-inch Uni-Q driver featuring Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), and the debut of patent-pending Velocity Control Technology (VECO). Continuing KEF’s collaboration with designer Ross Lovegrove, LS LUXE carries forward a legacy of icons, including Muon, Mu headphones, and the Muo portable speaker.
LS LUXE is both a sculptural piece of art and a wireless speaker engineered to redefine luxury listening. Its rounded, low-diffraction design, robust materials, flexible decoupling chassis, and advanced bulk molding compound enable a purer sound experience, with sharper clarity and deeper bass, setting a new benchmark beyond the gold-standard LS50 Wireless II.
Featuring KEF’s 12th-generation 6.5-inch Uni-Q driver array with advanced Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), it offers a wider sweet spot and minimal distortion. Decades of KEF innovation have culminated in this latest Uni-Q design, with the tweeter precisely positioned at the acoustic center of the woofer — ensuring perfectly even sound dispersion throughout your space.
MAT Technology acts as an acoustic black hole, absorbing 99% of unwanted rear sound from the tweeter to virtually eliminate distortion — delivering a wider sweet spot, exceptionally low coloration, and an immersive, natural listening experience.
To maintain this purity, the Uni-Q assembly is mechanically decoupled with a flexible chassis, isolating vibrations and ensuring the integrity of every note.
Introducing VECO
LS LUXE delivers a highly controlled sound with improved bass accuracy and reduced distortion. The first speaker to feature KEF’s patent-pending Velocity Control Technology (VECO), LS LUXE builds on its successful debut in the XIO soundbar to remove elements that can obscure detail in the sound. This closed-loop system uses a velocity sensor to monitor the Uni-Q driver in real time, feeding data instantly to a custom amplifier that corrects any movement inconsistencies.
KEF’s proprietary Music Integrity Engine (MIE) uses finely tuned DSP algorithms to maintain definition and exceptional performance as amplifiers work harder.
Combining a 100W Class AB and 280W Class D current-drive amplifier per speaker, LS LUXE delivers high output with lower distortion for pure, dynamic sound.
Connectivity
Enjoy high-fidelity, lossless formats up to 24-bit/384 kHz and multi-room audio throughout your home. LS LUXE is built on KEF’s W2 Wireless Platform, enabling seamless music streaming with direct access to top services: Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer, and more, directly from their native apps via Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, QPlay, AirPlay, or Google Cast.
LS LUXE also supports a wide range of wired connections — including HDMI eARC, analog, optical, and coaxial — so you can easily connect your TV, CD player, or game console. Each speaker includes a dedicated subwoofer output, and audiophiles can stream from local NAS drives or music servers, supporting lossless formats up to 24-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD.
LS LUXE can be precisely configured through the KEF Connect App so you can fine-tune sound performance to match your environment and personal preference. Choose Normal mode for step-by-step guidance with minimal tools or Expert mode for granular control over EQ settings in dBs — putting full mastery in your hands. Advanced Room EQ DSP automatically adapts the speaker to your room while dedicated subwoofer presets guarantee seamless integration with KEF’s subwoofer range. Manage volume, source selection, and settings via the app or the C3 Remote.
Product Finishes and Accessories
LS LUXE is available in three elegant colorways: Dusk Titanium, Eclipse Black, and Mineral White. Each speaker comes with the C3 Remote, crafted with a luxurious aluminum top plate, backlit buttons, and a customizable favorite button.
Optional S-LUXE floor stands offer integrated cable management for a clean, professional look. The K-Stream interspeaker cable allows high-resolution audio transfer with up to 8 meters of placement flexibility. For added convenience, the KW1 wireless subwoofer adapter kit enables a completely cable-free connection between LS LUXE and KEF subwoofers.
