KEF collaborates with Marcel Wanders for a Special Edition of its LS50 Wireless Digital Music System, the LS50 Wireless ‘Nocturne’ by Marcel Wanders.
Based on the award winning LS50 Hi-Fi speakers, KEF LS50 Wireless is in line with the company’s mission to bring exceptional levels of audio quality to contemporary music lovers who require seamless harmony between their devices. Offering a comprehensive set of wireless connectivity options: 2.4GHz/5GHz Dual-band Wi-Fi Network connectivity and Bluetooth 4.0 aptX, the speakers delivers the highest possible quality of wireless music transmission, delivering both high performance and seamless compatibility with the digital devices.
For this collaboration, Marcel Wanders has created ‘Nocturne’, a stunning special edition of LS50 Wireless. The circular nature of KEF’s Uni-Q driver and musical notation symbols subtly blend with unique architectural and rhythmic elements to create a sophisticated design. With selected elements of the design that glows in the dark, the LS50 Wireless ‘Nocturne’ by Marcel Wanders brings a vibrant luminous visual quality and magical atmosphere to its surroundings.
“There is an orchestrated tempo to this medley. By allowing for individual discovery of the musical elements, the design possesses a distinctive rhythm all on its own.” Marcel Wanders says.
Gabriele Chiave, Creative Director at Marcel Wanders, adds, “We wanted to honour the nocturnal concept. The eloquent depth to the light and dark shades, textures and patterns allude to what you would experience in a dream-like state.”
KEF’s Uni-Q driver technology places the tweeter in the exact acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, so that both act as a single point source that disperses the sound more evenly throughout the room than any rival speaker. The LS50 Wireless system uses a 192kHz/24-bit high-resolution digital signal path throughout, and a dedicated DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter) for each channel, ensuring optimal sound quality.
