Loudspeaker Cables

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.

Grilles

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.

Warranty

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.

Service Information

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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
