KEF EGG Desktop Speakers - Frosted Blue (Pair)

Q: Can I connect my phone or mp3 player to the KEF EGG via USB and plug it into AC power to start using it?
A: Yes, you can connect your phone directly to the KEF EGG with a USB cable. iPhones and iPads will require a USB Camera Connection kit with a USB A (for the CCK) to mini-B cable (for the EGG), while Android phones will need a USB cable with the appropriate USB connector for their phone (e.g., C or micro-B) to a mini-B cable to connect to the EGG.

Q: How do I prevent the speakers from turning off? Is there an .exe file that does this?
A: The .exe file is a Windows file that correlates to this function. The speakers go into a sort of sleep mode, and to completely turn them off, you need to unplug them.

Q: What is the length of the speaker cable?
A: The speaker cable is 2 meters long.

Q: Can I switch the speakers so that the right plays the left speaker sound?
A: There is no designated right or left, so you can place them however you like. They both sound great and the same in either configuration.

Q: What is the aux connection for this device?
A: There is an aux connection at the back of the speaker.

Q: When switched on, what input do the speakers default to?
A: The speakers default to USB input mode.

Q: Is there software available that prevents the speakers from going into standby mode?
A: You will need to contact KEF directly for this by email at [email protected]. In your email, supply the serial number and name of the retailer where you purchased your KEF EGG product because they require it to send you the software. Also note that as of May, the software is only compatible with Windows.

Q: Can a Chromebook work with the KEF EGG via USB?
A: Yes, it can. Your Chromebook will need a spare USB port or you can stream sound via Bluetooth, but this will reduce quality.

The KEF EGG is a sleek desktop performer that is properly sized for a desktop and comes in frosted blue, pure white, and gloss black colors. The EGGs feature Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX codec connectivity, a built-in 96kHz/24-bit mini USB input, and an optical input for TV audio setups or any audio device with an optical output such as CD players. The speakers are powered and employ their own integrated amplifier and DAC. They use KEF's Uni-Q driver array, which combines the tweeter and mid-range driver for a beautifully natural performance. The speakers come with a remote control that allows you to switch between inputs, control the volume, and power the pair on and off. The speakers have a subwoofer output to add even more low end. The EGGs are energy efficient with class D amps and consume less than 0.1W in standby mode.
