T SERIES
background
the best of
home theatre
With KEF’s new T Series, you get
exceptionally slim prole speakers
that generate all the intricacy,
spaciousness and dynamic range of a
high end conventional design.
You’d expect no less from KEF.
With some of the nest speakers in
the world to our credit, ours is a
50-year success story of innovation
that includes unrivalled experience
of home theatre: our multi-award
winning systems have for years
been the standard by which others
are judged.
No wonder even the most
demanding listeners love the new
T Series the rst time they hear it –
and when you discover the unique
technologies crammed into
each slender enclosure,
you understand why…
With a flat screen TV, you want
speakers to match. Really flat.
More importantly, you also want to
fill the room with high definition 3D
sound that’s every bit as involving as
what’s on screen.

KEF’s patented ultra-slim bass driver
Conventional high performance bass driver
deep, the T Series brings you all the
pleasures of true audiophile quality
sound in a speaker that perfectly
complements the aesthetics of the
latest  at screen TVs.
slim speakers,
serious sound
As one of the world’s thinnest high
performance home theatre systems,
the new T Series combines several
landmark innovations: a radical new
ultra-low pro le bass and midrange
driver, and a large, fully vented new
tweeter. By incorporating both in
cabinets only 35mm (just over 1.25in.)
KEF’s revolutionary T Series is in a
different league from any low profile
speaker you’ve ever heard.
Ultra-slim
bass driver.
Instead of a cone, the radical new
twin-layer bass and midrange unit has
a  at diaphragm whose rigidity
throughout the frequency range is
maintained by very  ne stiffening ribs,
with the driver as a whole acting as a
stressed member to help eliminate
any unwanted resonance from the
slim cabinet. The resulting response is
as clean, accurate and distortion-free
as a quality conventional speaker,
with none of the bulk.
In addition to minimising the height of
the magnets, we placed the entire
suspension outside the magnet
system so that it adds nothing to its
height. Whether you opt for the
standard satellite and centre speakers
or the larger models with additional
bass/midrange drivers, the result is an
exceptionally shallow unit that allows
the enclosure to have the same
installed depth as current  at screen
TVs without compromising acoustic
integrity in the slightest. Lush yet
well controlled, it’s the kind of
performance that brings soundtrack
effects to life with a real sense
of drama.
Clean, forceful response that
brings the action vividly to life.

KEF’s unique ‘tangerine’ waveguide
helps to disperse the sound image
evenly throughout the room.
The combined effect is remarkable:
you nd yourself immersed in a dense
three-dimensional sound picture that
completely engages you with what’s
happening on screen.
The generous size of the
sophisticated new 25mm (1in.)
vented tweeter specially developed
for the T Series allows exceptionally
accurate reproduction, especially of
the human voice. And silken,
effortlessly pure high notes. The clarity
is outstanding, even played loud.
Large new
vented tweeter.
A warm, natural sound that’s
so real you feel you’re there.
Everything about the new T Series
has been designed from rst
principles to achieve a sleek,
unobtrusive look that matches the
styling of modern TVs while still
maintaining the high standard of audio
delity KEF is famous for.
The precision etched logo and
chamfered black anodised aluminium
side trims hint at the meticulous
attention to detail and superb build
quality of what’s inside. Ease of use is
built in from the start, with KEF’s
ingenious Selecta-mount
TM
system
concealed in the optional stand
automatically adjusting each speaker’s
sound balance according to whether
it’s mounted on your wall,
desktop or oor.
Total excellence.
The perfect balance:
engineering integrity with
design air.

select the system
that works for you
With three different permutations to
choose from, all you have to do is
decide which best suits your room
and your listening preferences.
With  ve deceptively compact model
T101s as front and rear satellites as
well as the centre channel, plus the
discreet T-2 subwoofer, the T105
system is powerful enough to  ll most
normal rooms with a compellingly
detailed 3D sound image. As easy
to set up as they are on the eye,
they make the perfect entry level
surround sound system for the latest
generation of  at screen TVs.
Each of the three possible permutations has
its advantages; all you have to do is choose.
T105 System.
If you prefer more frontal ‘slam’ for
movie special effects and a system
that generally plays louder, the T205
system substitutes a pair of the larger
T301 speakers for the front satellite
and centre channel speakers.
For drama as well as music, even in
larger loft-like spaces, it has the power
to keep everyone in the room on the
edge of their seat.
T205 System.
For the full cinema-like experience,
the ultimate T Series system has the
best of everything: T301s all round,
supported by the same discreet high
performance subwoofer. However big
your living area, it envelopes you in an
expansive, richly textured sound
picture that brings a movie to life as
you’ve never experienced before.

the speakers
Whether you opt for the standard satellite
and centre channel speakers or the longer
models with additional bass and midrange
drive unit, you’ll discover a clarity and depth
that takes your enjoyment to a completely
new level.
The satellite and centre channel speakers share
the same architecture, in a choice of two sizes.
Mounted vertically as satellites (whether
wall-mounted, on the desk stands supplied or
the optional oor stands) or horizontally as a
centre channel above or below the TV, the
standard T Series speaker features KEF’s new
115mm (4.5in.) ultra-low prole bass and
midrange driver paired with the high
performance new 25mm (1in.) vented tweeter.
T101 and
T101c speakers.
In the larger models, the same high
performance 25mm (1in.) vented
tweeter is paired with two 115mm
(4.5in.) ultra-low prole bass and
midrange drivers for an even
bigger sound.
T301 and
T301c speakers.

Easy to conceal and operating in the
same phase as the speakers for
perfect integration, it delivers fast,
uniformly dispersed and devastatingly
accurate bass.
A slimline closed box design,
the assertive T-2 subwoofer
completes the 3D sound image by
adding denition and weight to the
LF response.
There’s the option of elegantly simple
extruded aluminium oor stands
styled to match your T Series
speakers – and by automatically
rebalancing the output for wall
or desktop mounting, the
Selecta-mount
TM
system cleverly
concealed in each stand gives you
complete freedom of positioning
without compromising sound quality.
