KEF Audio 205/2 Speaker User Manual

These Reference Series loudspeakers are
packed one loudspeaker per carton. Prior to
unpacking, please ensure that the serial numbers
of the loudspeakers supplied match each other.
Then, unpack the loudspeakers carefully
and inspect for any sign of damage.
Your loudspeakers left KEF in perfect condition.
If any damage is apparent, you should notify your
retailer or consultant immediately. Retain the
packaging in case a need arises for you to
transport the loudspeakers at a later date.
You will notice that a special KEF care-pack is
included with each pair of loudspeakers.
This pack contains a cleaning cloth and all the
required accessories for connecting and
positioning your loudspeakers. The care pack
also contains the unique product build
certificate. This is a valuable document and
guarantees the quality and craftsmanship of
your loudspeakers.
The cabinets are finished in real wood veneer
and should be treated with the same care with
which you would treat fine furniture. A suitable
cleaning cloth is included in the customer care
pack to maintain the original finish and lustre.
It is normal for the appearance of wood veneer
to change with the passing of time, but locations
in direct sunlight should, if possible, be avoided.
Furthermore the cabinets should not be allowed
to become wet.
Each Reference Series floorstanding loudspeaker
is supplied with KEF designed substantial spikes
and locking nuts (also in the care pack).
This enables fine adjustment of level, depending
on your preferred location of the loudspeakers
whatever the floor covering, carpet, tile or block
wood. In addition to the spikes and locking nuts
each Model 207/2 also comes with castors.

Model 202/2c Model 204/2c
Model 202/2c is a centre channel loudspeaker
designed primarily to match the Model 201/2
and Model 203/2 main loudspeakers and smaller
screens. It uses the same drive unit complement
as the Model 203/2 and, like the larger Model
204/2c is timbre matched to the other
Reference Series loudspeakers thereby allowing
a seamlessly integrated 3D soundstage to be set
up in the listening room. The size has been
chosen to allow it to be mounted more
conveniently underneath the screen within the
typical dimensions of a 32in. widescreen TV or
panel stand.
Models 202/2c and 204/2c have magnetically
shielded drive units and crossover networks
thus minimising any interference with CRT
type televisions.
Truly a statement centre channel loudspeaker,
the Model 204/2c fully exploits the dynamics
and bandwidth of modern AV soundtracks.
With around 70% of a typical soundtrack coming
from the centre channel it makes sense to
make this loudspeaker a truly capable one.
Four 165mm (6.5in.) LF units combine with
the 165mm (6.5in.) Uni-Q driver array in a three
way reflex system which, like the Model 202/2c,
not only has a bass level adjustment for
close to wall mounting but also a treble boost
facility for mounting behind an acoustically
transparent screen.
Four specialised rubber feet or bumpers are
firmly fixed to the base during production to
make sitting easier straight from the box.
In addition, dedicated stands are available for
the Model 202/2c and Model 204/2c centre
loudspeakers which allows them to be
securely mounted for optimum performance in
free space.

Model 201/2 Model 206/2ds
This is a three-way loudspeaker designed
primarily for high quality reproduction as a main
loudspeaker in small rooms or as a high quality
satellite loudspeaker in AV systems where space
is at a premium. Model 201/2 has three drive
units, two of which are combined in the single
165mm (6.5in.) Uni-Q driver array, with a
165mm (6.5in.) fibre reinforced pulp cone
bass unit mounted in a reflex enclosure,
completing the driver line up.
The Model 206/2ds is a dedicated dipole rear
surround loudspeaker for KEF Reference
multi-channel systems. Incorporating two
Reference Series Uni-Q driver arrays and an
additional 200mm (8in.) ultra low distortion bass
driver, the Model 206/2ds is perfectly timbre
matched with the other Reference Series
loudspeakers.
