KEF Muon

There can be few projects in this World where the central aim is to create an ‘ultimate’. But this was precisely the goal when KEF combined their state-of the-art acoustic technology with the sensual, organic forms of visionary designer Ross Lovegrove. The result was Muon – perhaps the most extraordinary audio speaker ever conceived. The Muon loudspeaker is fabricated from super-formed aluminium, made by the same company that molds the Bentley and Aston Martin body panels. The concept uses malleable sheets of heated aluminium to achieve otherwise impossible shapes. The eventual form of the loudspeaker was the result of a careful convergence between Ross Lovegrove’s design aesthetics and the physics of sound. The process by which they were conceived meant that, in effect, Ross Lovegrove was sculpting the sound by ‘skinning’ the technology with purposeful form – the final shape was created through an evolutionary process that ensured it could only be the form that it is. As a truly contemporary art form appropriate for 21st century living, and limited to an edition of just 100 pairs (most of which have already been sold and spoken for), Muon is unequivocally at the apex of speaker design and technology. Quite simply, it is the best you can get. • Four-way closed box floorstanding loudspeaker ACE enclosure • 4 x 250mm bass drive units with ultra low distortion neodymium magnet systems • 1 x 250mm lower midrange drive unit with ultra low distortion neodymium magnet system and response tailoring, chromed phase plug • 1 x 165mm Uni-Q driver array incorporating a 165mm midrange unit and a 25mm high frequency unit • 2 x 250mm rear mounted bass drivers for low frequency directivity control • Enclosure constructed from 6mm, super-formed aluminium. Internally braced and critically treated with damping elements. • As KEF’s Head of Acoustics, Andrew Watson states ‘we wanted to take our technology to the limit and develop some more along the way’.
