Poor quality cables can seriously compromise

the overall sound of your hi-fi system.

KEF recommends that high quality loudspeaker

cable be used for connecting your Reference

Series loudspeakers. It is good practice to keep

the cables as short as possible. 

The left and right channel loudspeaker cables

should, wherever possible, be the same length

otherwise there may be a perceptible change in

output level between the loudspeakers.

Dedicated grille assemblies are factory fitted to

each loudspeaker. However, if you wish you may

remove the grille by gently pulling it forward

toward you. The grille is held on via ‘pegs’ that

locate into the front baffle grille-peg sockets

(or magnets which hold the top Uni-Q driver

array grille). If required, the grilles may be

removed during use, but KEF recommends

replacement following use. 

KEF suggest removal of the grille for serious

listening. For cleaning purposes, the grilles

should be removed from the cabinets and

brushed lightly with a soft brush. Alternatively,

use a variable suction vacuum cleaner, with soft

brush attachment.

Your KEF Reference Series loudspeakers are

guaranteed against manufacturing defects in both

materials and workmanship. For further details

of how this guarantee affects you, please read

the enclosed Warranty leaflet. 

It should be noted, however, that failure of

the loudspeaker due to abuse, improper or

inappropriate use and/or operation or damage

caused by other faults in your system are NOT

covered within the terms of the guarantee.

Loudspeakers are inherently reliable and rarely

give trouble. It is important to remember that

faults arising in any part of the reproducing

system will be heard via the loudspeakers

and therefore when faults occur, careful and

analytical diagnosis will be required to locate the

actual source of trouble.

Loudspeakers cannot generate hiss or hum.

Spurious noises of this type generally

originate in the electronic sections of the

equipment or even in the programme source

itself. Faults in a loudspeaker will be audible

on all programme sources. A fault which is 

evident only when playing CDs but not,

for example, when using a radio tuner is unlikely

to originate with the loudspeakers.

Service problems should be discussed in the first

instance with the dealer from whom the

loudspeakers were originally purchased.

Generally, warranty claims are best handled

by your dealer. However, in case of difficulty,

please contact:
