The small speaker with the concentric Uni-Q driver that marked KEF’s fiftieth anniversary.

KEF’s Uni-Q driver places the tweeter in the centre of the midrange driver, so that the sound comes from a single point. The LS50 marked KEF’s fiftieth anniversary in 2011 and was a modern successor to the BBC’s small LS3/5A.

The speaker drew great attention for its sound in relation to its price and is used in homes and in studios.

Materials: MDF cabinet, aluminium cone, Uni-Q driver

Manufacture: Made by KEF in Maidstone, England, from 2012.
