Introduction
Surround sound settings
This wireless system is intended for use as part of a home entertainment surround sound speaker system as left surround
speaker and right surround speaker.The KEF Wireless system implements unique RF transmission technology based on
AAFHSS (Advanced Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum).This ensures exceptionally robust delivery of the high
quality audio channels that are encoded using HFADPCM (High Fidelity Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation).
It can be assembled with the KHT5005.2 rear speakers either with the floor stand or the desk top foot. It is for indoor
use only.
Ensure that your AV receiver is set to 5.1 channel surround sound. If it has a calibration feature then this can be used to
independently adjust the rear speaker volume levels to compensate for your room. If there is an adjustable bass
management setting ensure that it is set to “small speakers” or with a crossover of approximately 100Hz.
The wireless system is specifically designed for audio and does not require any set up. The correct receiver is required
for the LEFT rear speaker and the RIGHT rear speaker. Simply assemble the wireless module into the speaker stand,
plug it into the mains and switch them on.
