It's The Summer Of Lovin' Your Outdoor Speakers
Think Woodstock, without the mud, without the outdoor toilets. With power handling capabilities of 70 watts and a frequency response of 60Hz to 20 kHz, this speaker supports your audio components in bringing that 'real life' experience to the great outdoors. With the quality of sound that the Ci Series Ci500 provides, your friends won't be wondering where you hid your speakers, they'll be wondering where you hid the band. Introducing the KEF Ci500AW -- an attractively-styled, all-weather speaker that delivers perfect outdoor sound by offering a 1" soft-dome tweeter, a 5.25 long-throw midrange/bass driver, and an auxiliary bass radiator molded into the speaker enclosure. It's a beautiful summer night and you don't want to move the party into the house, but you want your guests to hear the latest additions to your CD collection. What you don't want is for them to hear those prized performances through your typical crackling outdoor speaker devoid of base. It's a problem almost as old as the love of the cookout. What are you going to do? You're gonna sit back and relax, or maybe even crank up the volume, that's what. You're counting on KEF. KEF delivers.
ABR: In Answer To Your Prayers
In the Ci500AW you'll find a 5.25" polypropylene bass/mid driver partnered to a 1" soft dome tweeter. The result? A marriage where one complements the other perfectly, and everyone gets along... you know, bliss. But wait, gentle reader, who is this mysterious stranger lurking in the shadows of this descriptive paragraph? Don't worry friends, this marriage is safe. That handsome stranger is the ABR (Auxiliary Bass Radiator), less a threat than the ideal accompaniment. How many times have you wished Barry White or Luther Vandross were there, helping you hit those low, low, ultra convincing notes of love? Wish no more, the ABR has gotcha covered.
Let KEF Do The Rest

An indoor/outdoor all-weather loudspeaker, it is equally at home in the summerhouse or by the pool, in the sauna or on your boat. And you'll feel at home with the quality of sound that you've come to expect from KEF. The drivers, terminals, enclosure, and mounting bracket are all weather-resistant, making positioning of this loudspeaker, even in the harshest environments, a cinch. The mounting bracket offers both vertical and horizontal mounting options with good cable access to speaker terminals so you're never playing twister at the top of a ladder trying to fix a short.
