KEF has announced a new active speaker designed specifically for vinyl enthusiasts, addressing the limitations of previous models like the LS50 Wireless II, which require external phono preamps for turntable connections.
The speaker is rumored to feature an integrated phono preamp compatible with both MM and MC cartridges, along with RCA inputs and a grounding screw for seamless turntable connectivity.
Design cues suggest a departure from the LS series, with a terracotta-colored body, a contrasting gray ribbed front panel, and possible touch controls on the top.
