KEF’s X Series of active desktop speakers are available in wired (X300A) and wireless (X300AW) models. The X300A allows listeners to plug into their PC or Mac via a distortion-free USB connection, for a loudspeaker experience that is far beyond the average digital hifi speaker. Any device with a headphone port - such as an iPhone, iPad, or Kindle Fire - can also connect directly to the speakers with an analogue auxiliary cable. Within minutes of unboxing the X300A, you loudspeaker will be playing remarkable 96kHz/24-bit sound. Suddenly, your digital library will have warmth, detail, and depth that you didn’t even know was missing.
To create this rich sound image, the X300A boasts two Class AB audiophile amplifiers - one dedicated for LF/MF, and another for high frequencies per speaker- as well as two digital audio convertors (DACs). This ensures that your digital audio files will play back without distortion or artifacts. Furthermore, the X300A contains toroidal transformers that can be found in the top audiophile amps, which nullify speaker hum and electromagnetic interference.
To bring out the best in your audio files, the X300A loudspeaker features KEF’s innovative Uni-Q driver array, driven by the two dedicated AB amps. This high-fidelity technology positions a 1” vented aluminum tweeter at the acoustic center of a 5.25” LF/MF driver. The result: stunningly rich and sensitive audio reproduction, with the power handling to reach impressive volume levels.
At 96kHz/24-bit quality, the X300A produces audio with three times more detail than a normal CD. The difference is immediate: you’ll hear complex high-end phrases and bass depth like never before, without any distortion.
Setting up and configuring the X300A couldn’t be easier – all you have to do is connect the speakers to each other and to your chosen device by the USB ports and plug into a power source. That’s it. No software to load, no fiddly programming. A 3.5mm analogue connection is included to connect your smartphone or MP3 player.
