KEF LS60 Wireless Floor-Standing Loudspeakers Transform the Product Class for Powered Systems: Feature 12th-Gen Uni-Q Driver Array, Dedicated Amplifiers, Point-Source Configuration
Measuring just 8.3 inches wide and 15.5 inches deep, the KEF LS60 wireless floor-standing loudspeaker features some of the sleekest architecture in audio and possess the performance capabilities to match. Featuring built-in connectivity that invites you to stream and connect anything, each pair collectively outputs up to 1,400 watts of power from amplifiers dedicated to low-, mid-, and high-frequencies. KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array and Metamaterial Absorption Technology acoustic structure further enhance the appeal of Roon-Ready speakers that set a new standard for their combination of sleekness, elegance, convenience, and hi-fi sound.
Indeed, KEF designed the sealed-box LS60 Wireless to provide exciting, dynamic musical playback in homes without the hassle and clutter of large cabinets, lengths of cable, and multiple black boxes. Take one listen to LS60, which decodes MQA and delivers up to 24-bit/384kHz with hi-res content, and you likely never look at active systems the same way again. WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI eARC, optical, coaxial, and analog RCA connectivity — as well as app control that accesses streaming from all the major providers as well as Internet radio — add to the do-it-all appeal.
The key to LS60 Wireless' category-reigning performance resides with its driver array and how well they integrate together. A central, newly designed four-inch Uni-Q driver helps project ultra-wide soundstages and plays with incredibly low distortion. Two pairs of KEF Uni-Core drivers flank the sides of each cabinet for taut, soulful bass response. The first streaming all-in-one audio system to be a true point source configuration, the combined driver placement within the cabinet stems from KEF's flagship Blade Series. Want even more bass? You can add up to two subwoofers via the sub output on each speaker, and you can operate the speakers with either wired or wireless interspeaker connectivity.
The LS60 Wireless system comes with power cords, an interspeaker cable, remote control, floor spikes, a two-year manufacturer warranty, and our Satisfaction Guarantee. Reach out to any Music Direct audio consultant today to learn more about these genuinely pioneering speakers.
"KEF's slender LS60 Wireless feels revolutionary, and demonstrates to the world what the future of hi-fi could look like... Put simply, there's nothing comparable out there...."
—EISA Award for 2022–2023, Best Product: Wireless Floorstanding Loudspeakers
"Well, it's fair to say this system serves up arguably the finest audio we've heard from such a product so far. And it all starts with the excellent integration of all those drive units."
—What Hi-Fi?, five-star review
"The most visually striking feature of the LS60 Wireless is its ultra-slim appearance. The front baffle measures a mere 13cm across; that's a shade more than the diameter of a CD..."
—John Darko, Darko.Audio
"Indeed, [this] all-in-one active floorstanding speaker system is unique...a ground-up design that, despite inheriting existing KEF technologies, is like nothing else currently on the market."
—Becky Roberts, What Hi-Fi?, "The Making of KEF LS60 Wireless"
"It's a fine example of modern hi-fi and currently has no real rival if you're in the market for a convenient yet premium solution. The LS60 Wireless system is a fantastic achievement and a fitting way to celebrate KEF's 60th anniversary."
—What Hi-Fi?, five-star review
"Massive floor-standing speakers sound great, but to most, cumbersome cabinets, miles of cable, and countless black boxes just aren't acceptable. This is a refreshing antidote to a niche problem that KEF has executed perfectly..."
—Chris Haslam, Wired

Connect Everything
LS60 Wireless supports all your wired sources whether you love to listen to vinyl records on your turntable or want to get the best possible sound from your CD player and games console. There’s also an HDMI (eARC) connection for a high-quality link up with your TV, and a dedicated output on each of the two speakers for the addition of one or two KEF subwoofers.
KEF Single Apparent Source Technology
At the heart of LS60 sits the Single Apparent Source technology adapted from KEF's flagship Blade loudspeaker. It aims to achieve the acoustic ideal of a point source, where low, midrange, and high frequencies radiate from one point. It is what makes LS60 incredibly coherent, with more precise and clear sound across the whole bandwidth.
Uni-Q Technology
Uni-Q technology is the building block of the KEF signature sound. Designed to perform at its best in LS60, the 12th generation Uni-Q driver array acts as a single point source, enlarges the "sweet spot," and disperses sound more evenly, allowing everyone sitting at different spots in the room to experience the same natural, detailed sound.
Metamaterial Absorption Technology
LS60 benefits from Metamaterial Absorption Technology. This is a highly complex, maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing purer, more natural sound.
Uni-Core Technology
LS60 features the revolutionary Uni-Core technology that redefines size versus performance. Two pairs of Uni-Core bass drivers are mounted back-to-back in a force-cancelling arrangement, so cabinet vibration is practically eliminated. Together with P-Flex driver surround and Smart Distortion Control Technology, the bass is balanced, detailed, deep and powerful.
