MUON is the result of KEF engineering prowess combining with world-class industrial design by Ross Lovegrove. The Muon is limited to an edition of 100 pair.
The MUON project is ambitious to say the least. Visionary deisgner Ross Lovegrove was tasked with turning the finest acoustic engineering into the ultimate loudspeaker by combining form and function with manufacturing integrity. The MUON loudspeaker is fabricated from super-formed aluminium to create a shape that is devoid of sharp edges and extremely stiff. It combines Ross Lovegrove's design aesthetics with KEF's finest engineering. The process by which MUON was 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 makes it perfectly suited to its purpose.
MUON is a truly remarkable feat of sound-engineering and cutting-edge design. Rarely does one find such a sublime marriage of form, function and manufacturing integrity in any field. Individually crafted and carefully measured in KEF's highly accurate anechoic chambers, each loudspeaker comes with a certificate showing its unique frequency response curve, signed by the skilled craftsman who made it in KEF's Maidstone workshop.
MUON's powerful bass drivers are one element that makes it so superior. But it is also the upper mid-range and treble where some of the key technology lies, the Uni-Q® drive unit array which delivers seamless imaging throughout the room. KEF also used Acoustic Compliance Enhancement (ACE) technology, this effectively doubles the available volume through adsorption of air molecules by activated carbon.
Ross Lovegrove's design for the MUON is more than just a beautiful form in polished aluminium. It provides the drivers with the perfect environment to deliver seamless, open sound. The curvaceous torso like form breaks up the visual mass of the cabinet whilst providing a smooth, unbroken surface that allows sound radiate out and create a field of pure sound. The result is music with unprecedented three-dimensional presence.
