KEF XIO (soundbar)

The KEF XIO is a 5.1.2 soundbar that brings the brand's driver technology into the living room without giving up a discreet profile. Its array combines three Uni-Q MX drivers, two full-range units and four P185 woofers mounted in a force-cancelling configuration, so the cabinet stays still while the bass does the moving.

It decodes Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and 360 Reality Audio, and relies on automatic calibration to adapt the sound to the room: the bar measures its surroundings and corrects the response so that effects fly overhead and dialogue stays anchored to the screen, whatever the shape of the room.

Its ultra-slim profile allows it to sit under the television without blocking the picture or the IR receiver, making it a natural fit for a modern living room and for anyone who wants cinema sound without a rack full of boxes.
