KEF KW1 Wireless Subwoofer Adapter Kit, KW1TXRX, Black

I write reviews on items really really awesome or really really NOT awesome. This one from KEF (like the new small kef sub in the pic) is really really awesome. I have the transmitter connected to my sonos amp in a cabinet which is in a closet in a different part of the house. The receiver perfectly connects to kef amp into a special input and can be screwed in so it is secure. The signal is strong and it works flawlessly. Awesome way to go wireless.

If you’re like me, you have members of your family that hate wires. This solution was simple and easy to use and there is NO significant difference in sound quality. It’s great to be able to move the sub around the room to find its best location. It’s a win-win for my house. I keep the sub and the spouse loses the wires.

Get out a magnifying glass to read the instructions for this device and the KEF speakers and stands. Also, it was purchased to connect KEF LS50W speakers with the KEF KC62 subwoofer. Shockingly, the Y cable that comes with the KEF KW1 that is supposed to connect the transmitter to the speakers does not work! The Y cable has two male connectors at the top of the "Y" and a single female connector on the stem, but the problem is that the LS50W speaker requires a male connector at the bottom of the "Y" stem to go into the "Sub" input on the LS50W. How in the world does KEF manufacture and sell a product to work with speakers and a subwoofer that cost nearly $5,000 with the wrong component? Shame on them, and I'm considering returning the purchase due to the stupidity of this manufacturer. I'm appalled that I either now need to purchase an additional component to get the subwoofer to work or go through the hassle of packing everything up (speakers, stands, subwoofer) and lug it back to Whole Foods to return it. But I dislike giving money to incompetent companies, and I'm feeling as if KEF is incompetent. BTW, why doesn't KEF include YouTube videos on its site to provide instructions for those who can't read the miniscule type on their product manuals?

Funciona perfectamente muy estable

Product works fine, does what it is supposed to. That said, I find it very odd that KEF ships a female/two male RCA cable with the product, clearly showing that plugging into their LSX speakers (same as I have). This is not compatible with the LSX speaker, which has a female input labeled "subwoofer", requiring a male/two male RCA splitter. Perhaps someone at KEF should look into that. On that subject - a question - is a splitter really required? I used a single RCA plugged into the red terminal on the transmitter and from there into the subwoofer in on the LSX, and it seems to work fine. KEF, can you respond? I can't see any other way to ask a question.

This thing is cheap and low quality, and comes with extremely low end cables. It does not even include a power adapter. The instructions are difficult to understand and setting it up is not intuitive at all. Worst of all, it includes the WRONG CABLE to connect to KEF products (the RCA Y adaptor has a female connection point). It feels like a $30 product. KEF, this is truly unacceptable.

I paired my KW1 from Amazon with a KEF KC62. PROS: makes room placement easier and eliminates unsightly cabling. CONS: Pricey $$$. Why isn't the receiver built into the KC62?... attachment seems tenuous, even with two mounting screws. Be careful of where you purchase it from... a KW1 open box unit from another marketplace was defective (intermittent signal causing subwoofer to "thump").

Interferes

Excellent! Best match KC62 subwoofer.

I have this attached to my KEF KC62 subwoofer and it works just as described.
