The MUON Story
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.
One of the reasons why MUON has such outstanding sound quality is its unusually wide bandwidth. It reproduces sounds that are so low and so high that the human ear does not register them in the normal way. We can feel very low bass and tests have show that we sense very high frequencies, so this extra information increases the realism of the overall sound. The way that Ross Lovegrove has wrapped form around sound in MUON reveals that great design and superlative sound can coexist in one product.
Not only is MUON iconic in its styling, its design and manufacture would not have been possible without highly sophisticated CAD/CAM software and technology. Guided by engineering and aesthetics, MUON is as much an extraordinary piece of sculpture as it is the ultimate sound provider. It’s an exquisite example of British engineering and design at its very best.
