KEF HTB2SE-W Wireless Subwoofer Release & Pricing Confirmed [HFADPCM Wireless Technology, 250 Watt Class D Amplifier]

If you’re anything like me you have a pet hate of cables and this is especially true when you’re trying to hook up AV equipment in your front room as the clutter of wires is hardly appealing but, thanks to KEF and their new wireless HTB2SE-W Wireless Subwoofer, you can at least remove one set of wiring from the equation should you be looking to add a new subwoofer to your home theater set-up.

The result of combining two of their products, namely their HTB2 subwoofer and their Universal Wireless kit, the KEF HTB2SE-W Wireless Subwoofer is billed as offering CD quality sound (which is sufficient for most of us) courtesy of a 250 watt Class D amplifier driving a dynamic 10” bass driver and a 10” auxiliary bass radiator with audio signals being transmitted wirelessly, and freed from interference, thanks to HFADPCM wireless technology.

“Finally, discriminating music and movie lovers can have a great sounding subwoofer without having to fuss with wires and complicated setup”, commented Alec Chanin, President of KEF America who introduced the KEF HTB2SE-W Wireless Subwoofer. “With our new HTB2SE-W, the end-user can be up and running in minutes without wires running across their floor. Better yet, its unique design with vertical or horizontal placement options, it can be placed almost anywhere in the listening area. This sub is finally what the market has been waiting for.”

Of course, you’ll pay for the privilege of going wire-free, specifically to the tune of a pretty steep $1,200, but if your loathing of trailing cables snaking throughout a room is anywhere on par with my own you’ll more than likely see the HTB2SE-W as worth the outlay, especially if you’re intending to locate the device remotely (say, behind the sofa) just for that all important extra kick.

The KEF HTB2SE-W Wireless Subwoofer is set to commence shipping from October but, if you want to secure yours now, you can place an advanced order directly with KEF to secure yourself one ahead of release.
