In a market dominated by poor plastic, KEF brings a taste of the audiophile high-end for your iPod with its cute, curvaceous, and beautifully crafted Picoforte One music system that kicks out a huge, high quality hi-fi sound from a compact package. The deceptively simple, entirely digital system - including an impressively powerful 50W class D amplifier - has a glorious finish and feel coupled to a similarly beguiling sound.
Each Picoforte One component - both dock, amplifier module and speakers - is milled from die-cast zinc and clad in either high gloss black or white for a coolness of touch that is impossible to recreate with synthetic materials. Such attention to detail is apparent across the system, and here beauty is more than skin deep. For example, the fact the loudspeaker cabinets are entirely metal means they not only have a superb feel, but also are almost completely inert making for a far superior sound performance. Despite measuring a dinky 16cm high, the two loudspeakers weigh over two kilos.
These speakers are enhanced versions of the award-winning KHT Series designs with Uni-Q technology. This means you get the biggest, widest sound dispersion from the smallest possible package. And with 25W powering each 7.5cm mid/bass driver and 15mm aluminium tweeter you'll be surprised at the scale of the sound that can be achieved.
A key feature of Picoforte One is its flexibility. An optional subwoofer connection means that lovers of bass have their dreams answered, and the S-Video connection means that you can use a screen to display song titles (in a wide range of supported languages) or even play movies (if your iPod allows). Equally, the Picoforte One is wonderfully simple to set-up. iPod adaptors, connectors, and speaker cable are all supplied, so you can get going straight from the box. Completing the package is a credit card style remote control, which offers complete control of your iPod.
