KEF - KC62 Subwoofer - White

The LS50 speakers sounded great, but there was still something missing on the bass side. By adding the KC62 solved this problem. Working together, sound image really comes to life. Best of all, they compliment each other and can easily be configured through the KEF connect app. My only gripe is, for the money, it should come with necessary cables.

Very clean, musical, and accurate sounding sub. Bass is very controlled and articulated, something that many larger subs struggle with. It does an excellent job at disappearing from the room, and never sounds pushed. If you have a small to medium room you won't regret this little beast

Very powerful and clean sounding! Don’t let the small size fool you, this replaced a larger unit and the sound of fantastic.

KC62 sounds great , looks great. It's a perfect match for KEF's LSX, LS50W etc series of speakers and others too. Fast, deep and puchy bass. Neat, modern design. Lots of flexibility in tuning the subwoofer's EQ. If price is not an issue, KC62 is definitely the subwoofer to get for most hifi owners. Build KC62 is solidly built. The metal exterior is solid and the thing is heavy. You really get what you pay for. Aesthetics: The white color is sharp. It simply looks great. It has a modern and elegant look. It is also very small, so you place it right at the center of your HIFI setup if you want. Sound: The base is deep, clean and has very fast response. I pair it with LS50W. It adds so much depth to everything I listen to. The tricky part is to find the right crossover frequency. The beauty with paring with LS50W, LSX or any KEF active series is that the KEF app allows users to adjust both high pass and low pass filter on the fly making it much more convenient to tune the crossover point. It's still a time consuming process, but that's also part of the fun. Power: You can't beat physics, even with two woofers, they are only 6 inch and you can reach deep bass but not at high volume. Or if you want high volume, it cannot reach as low. But I feel the the power (pressure) is way more than sufficient for me. Unelss you use it in a huge home theater room, i feel that this is way more than enough. Personally, I dont listen at very high volume, but even that, when watch movies or shows, the subwoofer is already more than powerful for what I need. Setup: With the app, setting much is much easier, But within the app, (for non-KEF active speakers owners), there are still manual knobs at the back of the KC62 to adjust the cross over. There are also a built-in EQ switches on the back of KC62 to adjust if you are positioning the subwooder at a corner, near a wall or in an apartment. So , the setup process and the amount of freedom in adjustment is above average compared to other subwoofers. The front LED indicator is not bright enough and can only be seen at the right angle. Also, this circular LED is often mistaken as the power button. Turns out the actually power switch is at the back. You rarely need to turn it on or off because it auto turns on when there is audio signal. Value: At this list price, this is this very expensive. You can get a larger size SVS subwoofer at almost half the price. If you are looking for value, you won't find it here. That's why i am only giving it 4 stars. If you already own LS50w LS50WII, LSX , LSXII or LS60W, KC62 would match very nicely.

KEF has mastered the tiny box with unbelievable accuracy down to 25hz concept. I really never believed this was actually possible due to simple physics. But they finally proved it can be done. This dual driver sub is just incredible! I ran Audyssey EQ on our new bedroom 5.1 KEF system via a Denon AVR-A110 anniversary edition AV receiver and it set my tiny KEF sub to “Large”. I highly recommend this amazing subwoofer! It’s so easy to calibrate along with my 5 KEF speakers. I have the crossover set at 80Hz and for movies it sounds incredible! I also have Denon’s flagship AVR-A1H in a 9.2.4 Dolby Atmos system with Klipsch Reference speaker system and although it’s our main home theater, my new KEF system sounds just as good especially with my KEF R6,meta LCR center channel and four KEF 8” in ceiling speakers.
