KEF announces KC92, Kube MIE subwoofers

From KEF this week comes news of four new Kube subwoofers. The Kube MIE range features 8″, 10″, 12″ and 15″ models, each with a single long-throw front-firing driver juiced by 300 Watt Class D amplifiers. The cabinets are sealed for easier room placement and similar to the KC62, all new Kube MIE models feature placement-dependent EQ settings, Musical Integrity Engine system oversight and KW1 wireless kit compatibility for use with KEF’s LS60 Wireless, LS50 Wireless II and LSX II (LT) streaming active loudspeakers.

Kube 8 MIE: £599

However, also from KEF this week comes news of the KC92 subwoofer that takes the KC62’s platform of side-firing force-cancelling drivers, P-Flex driver surrounds, twin 500 Watt Class D amplifiers, Musical Integrity Engine (MIE) system oversight, line-level and speaker inputs (via a Molex connector), line-level output with high-pass filter settings, KW1 wireless compatibility and room placement modes but adds 2.5″ to each driver’s diameter for a 9″ subwoofer that reportedly mines bass down to 11Hz (but at an undisclosed SPL).

Note: “The voice coils are not sleeved in the KC92 (i.e. no Uni-Core driver) because we don’t need to do it for that larger size product.” That extra informational morsel comes from KEF’s VP of Technology, Jack Oclee-Brown.
