Frequent Asked Questions

What features should I look for in a high-end soundbar for a premium audio experience?

Premium soundbars demand premium features, like our top-tier acoustic technology. Innovations like the KEF Uni-Q MX set new standards for immersive audio experiences, enhancing the purity of sound for playing games and streaming films. For seamless spatial audio, look for soundbars that support audio codecs like Doly Atmos, DTS:X and Sony 360 Reality Audio.

How does a soundbar with Dolby Atmos differ from a regular soundbar?

Dolby Atmos transforms the audio experience by giving more height and width to sound than ever before. Coming at you from every direction, sounds are far more realistic from a soundbar with Dolby Atmos than one without. You’ll pick up even the most subtle audio details, meaning you’re fully immersed into every gaming session or movie night.

What are the main advantages of using a soundbar over stereo speakers?

While stereo speakers, such as the LS Wireless Collection, offer superior sound quality for music listening due to their larger drivers and left/right separation, soundbars excel in simplicity and convenience. With just one box and a single HDMI cable, setting up a soundbar is a hassle-free solution, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an immersive audio experience without the complexity of multiple wires. Soundbars also support advanced audio formats like Dolby and DTS, providing a cinematic experience that stereo systems may not easily match. For users who prioritise ease of use and space-saving design, a soundbar delivers high-quality audio with minimal fuss.

How do I connect XIO soundbar to a subwoofer?

Connecting your XIO soundbar to a subwoofer can enhance your audio experience by adding depth and impact to the sound. You have two convenient options for connecting a subwoofer:

1. RCA Subwoofer Output: Utilise the RCA output on your XIO soundbar to connect any standard wired subwoofer. This provides a reliable and direct connection.

2. Wireless Subwoofer Output via KW2: For a seamless wireless connection, use the KW2 RX Receiver, which is ideal for KEF subwoofers. Simply attach the wireless module to the back of a compatible subwoofer to enjoy a clutter-free setup.

Both methods ensure easy integration and optimal performance, allowing you to customise your home audio environment according to your preferences.


What are Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Sony 360 Reality Audio, and how do they enhance the sound experience?

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Sony 360 Reality Audio are advanced object-based audio technologies that create immersive soundscapes by placing sounds in a three-dimensional space. Unlike traditional surround sound, these codecs allow audio elements like raindrops or footsteps to come from specific directions, including overhead, enhancing the realism of any audio experience.

The KEF XIO soundbar supports all three codecs, a rare feature in soundbars that ensures users can enjoy the latest advancements in cinematic and music audio technology. This comprehensive compatibility enhances movies, music, and games by providing an unparalleled immersive audio experience, making XIO a premier choice for high-end audio enthusiasts.
