KEF - KC62 Package

Save $920 by Bundling the KEF KC62 Powered Subwoofer, XIO Soundbar, and KW2 RX Receiver Kit: Package Will Let You Feel the Action, Gives You Wireless Convenience and Sonic Heft from a Compact Footprint

Billed by KEF as "the biggest small subwoofer," KC62 turns heads by way of its ability to produce deep, accurate, forceful, and controlled bass from a ridiculously compact footprint. Endowed with KEF's hallmark Uni-Core technology and two 6.5-inch force-cancelling driver units, the football-sized marvel lives to enhance music, movies, and gaming.

Belying its modest 9.68 x 10.07 x 9.76-inch (HWD) dimensions, the 30.9-pound unit cuts down on traditional subwoofer bulk without sacrificing on sound quality via drivers combined in a signal magnet system. The arrangement also enhances excursion and precision. Playing with exceptional output, speed, and breadth, KC62 gets its fuel from 1,000RMS of built-in amplification that provides the power bursts necessary for high-energy action scenes and demanding music passages. Equally important, K62 uses KEF's P-Flex surround (a pleated design inspired by origami) for precise driver movement. The added presence of Smart Distortion Control technology reduces distortion, and KEF's onboard Music Integrity Engine enhances overall performance.

True to KEF tradition, KC62 takes aesthetics and flexibility just as seriously. Able to be placed next to a wall, in a corner, in a cabinet, or in an open space, K62 comes with five pre-set placement equalization settings to ensure consistent performance no matter where it sits. For extra versatility, it even touts a dedicated apartment mode. Comprised of extruded aluminum for a winning combination of strength and beauty, the curved KC62 also syncs with almost any system imaginable. KEF SmartConnect and speaker-level inputs take care of connectivity, while a line output with HPF permits effortless integration. 

Hear the dialog, effects, soundtracks, and background ambience producers and directors want you to notice reproduced with stellar clarity, dynamics, imaging, and fullness with the KEF XIO Soundbar. A soundbar in description only, XIO performs like one of the British audio company’s revered compact hi-fi systems — with none of the extra boxes or wires. Powered by a 5.1.2 configuration with spatial audio support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Sony 360 Reality Audio, the slender 2.8 x 47.6 x 6.5-inch (HWD) XIO boasts 12 Class D amplifiers as well as innovations such as KEF’s Uni-Q MX driver array, P185 LF drivers with P-Flex technology, patent-pending Velocity Control Technology (VECO), and the Music Integrity Engine (MIE) for Cinema.

OK, you may be thinking, that’s an impressive list with fancy jargon, but how does it impact me if I’m watching live sports, enjoying a classic film, or just chilling while streaming Netflix? In short, what you once perceived as flat, lifeless, tunnel-visioned sound coming from your television or cheap soundbar will be rich, multi-dimensional, and immediate. Words and vocals will be crisp and pristine; the midrange will be accurate and transparent; and the low end, including bass, will come across taut, deep, and true. 

Inside the 23.1-pound XIO, three Uni-Q MX drivers and two full-range drivers produce an expansive soundstage across the main channels while four P185 LF drivers handle the lower frequencies. Two Uni-Q MX drivers are dedicated to the overhead channels, letting you get the complete picture when it comes to spatial audio and immersive home-theater experiences. XIO also includes a dedicated Dialogue Mode within the EQ presets to enhance speech while reducing background noise. Plus, on-board up-mixing technology converts audio from mono/stereo sources into multi-channel formats. 

And worry not about the room acoustics in which you use XIO. Intelligent Placement Technology helps XIO deliver the best-possible results no matter the location, as the built-in calibration tool automatically adapts the output based on the objects around the soundbar. For further flexibility, XIO can be both wall-mounted or set on a shelf/cabinet. HDMI eARC, optical, and Ethernet inputs, an RCA subwoofer output, and the ability to wirelessly pair any KEF subwoofer with the KEF KW2 RX receiver adds to the convenience factor. 

In the mood for music? Stream Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, and more at up to 24-bit/384kHz. Navigation is equally easy, with control accessible via the top panel, supplied remote, or the KEF Connect app. Wireless connectivity with AirPlay, Google Cast, Bluetooth 5.3, and UPnP are also all a simple setup away. Completed with an aluminum top plate and splash-proof fabric, XIO benefits from a beautifully minimalist style that speaks to its focus on exceptional sound.

This wireless KW2 RX receiver links XIO to your KC62 so you can place it practically anywhere you like. Offering up to 15 meters of wireless range and support for high-res audio up to 24-bit/48kHz, KW2 also connects to third-party models via a 3.5mm aux/optical output. And since it is directly powered by the KEF subwoofer expansion port, KW2 RX eliminates the need for an additional power socket. Weighing just 0.1 pound and measuring a scant 2.8 x 1.5 x 1.2 inches (HWD), this is home-cinema convenience personified.
