Obsessed with sound quality, KEF has been pioneering innovative acoustic
engineering for more than half a century. No other manufacturer has
done more to advance the state of the art.

That’s why Blade and Blade Two are pure KEF. When we gave our
engineers free rein to create the best speaker they could, they came up with the revolutionary Concept Blade prototype - the world'd first single apparent source loudspeaker.

The result was so well received – and scooped so many prestigious
awards to prove it - that we decided to take things even further and
expand the Blade range. With all of Blade’s acoustic prowess and
iconic design on a slightly smaller scale, Blade Two is easier to place in
environments where space is at a premium, and where Blade’s extreme
bass extension would be superfluous.

The technologies of total transparency
Blade and Blade Two are based on a new architecture that achieves the
ideal point source. With the HF and MF drivers in the Uni-Q array on an
identical axis and the four superlative LF drivers mounted symmetrically
equidistant on either side, their acoustic centres occupy exactly the same
point in space. This configuration delivers flawless response across the
frequency range, with noticeably more precise imaging. What you hear
sounds live, close and real – and because of Uni-Q’s inherently superior
dispersion, everyone in the room enjoys the same experience. Engagingly
natural, even played loud. Emotionally true to the original performance,
and effortlessly accurate in every tiny detail.

The latest generation Uni-Q point source driver arrays on both
models are essentially the same as those on KEF’s extraordinary Muon
hyper-premium loudspeaker. So light and rigid that it never reaches
its break-up point, the alloy skin of the hybrid MF cone is braced by a
skeleton of liquid crystal polymer, and vented to eliminate distortion
effects. It’s driven by an unusually large voice coil, for outstanding
dynamics in high energy sequences. Sensitivity and transient response are
exceptional, reproducing the upper midrange with total clarity, especially
with vocals and keyboards.

With its stiffened aluminium dome, the state-of-the-art vented tweeter
at the centre of the MF cone operates pistonically to deliver consistently
sweet, lucid and lyrical treble, irrespective of volume. KEF’s unique
‘tangerine’ waveguide manages the airflow to recreate the wide, even
spread of a natural soundfield, dispersing the astonishingly pure HF
imaging throughout the room.The contours of the dome, midrange horn
and surround are computer-optimised to ensure a perfectly smooth
transition to the cabinet, and the Uni-Q array is fully decoupled to
prevent unwanted vibrations from muddying the sound.

Four powerful vented LF drivers (225mm/9-in. for Blade, 165mm/6.5-in.
for Blade Two) are perfectly integrated with the Uni-Q array to deliver
clean, massively extended bass under immaculate control.

In line with the purity of the original Blade concept, decoupling the voice
coil from the diaphragm allows low order crossovers to be used, for purer,
silkier bass response.To avoid exciting the cabinet when playing loud, the
LF drivers are mounted back to back to cancel out kinetic forces that
might otherwise colour the output, and each pair occupies a separate
chamber to reduce the need for damping.

Nothing has been overlooked. Individually hand-wired rather than
mounted on a conventional PCB, the crossover components were
exhaustively auditioned to fine-tune the signal path for maximum clarity.
Two pairs of audiophile quality WBT connectors allow bi-wiring or
bi-amping for lossless transmission.

The form of Blade’s sculptural enclosures was dictated by acoustics, not
styling. Tapering gracefully from top to bottom and from front to rear, the
gentle front radius presents no discontinuity to mar sound clarity. Made
from an ultra-high density polyurethane composite, the acoustically inert
cabinets’ complex parabolic curves are cleverly engineered to eliminate
standing waves that might blur the output.

Asserting the sophistication of the technology they contain, these stunning
cabinets are available in a palette of equally seductive finishes: Piano black,
Snow white, Warm metallic grey, Light metallic silver, Racing red, Frosted

copper black or Frosted blue. Given time, we'll match any colour you
want. Like everything else about Blade and Blade Two, it's about getting
every last detail absolutely right.

Just as KEF's philosophy has always been to innovate in pursuit of the
most accurate and realistic sound, Blade speakers are about perfecting
a groundbreaking concept to delight people who really love music.
Whatever your taste, Blade and Blade Two are what all great design
aspires to: being the best they can possibly be.
