KEF Connect replaces the KEF Control and Stream apps built for the LS50 Wireless [HFN Oct '17] and LSX. Introduced for the LS50 Wireless II, it can also control the new LSX II and benefits from a slicker interface. After connecting to your network it quickly detects the LS60 Wireless via Bluetooth and lets you configure the system in a few easy steps. You'll need to keep the Connect app to hand as your 'remote control', particularly if you are keen to tweak settings using the 'easy' and 'expert' room eq options or access the in-app music services, including Amazon, Deezer, Qobuz and Tidal. If you prefer, you can stream directly from Spotify or use Chromecast or AirPlay to play music from the services' dedicated apps. Playing from your NAS via wired UPnP or listening to streaming radio is also possible. Equally handy is the ability to wake up the LS60 Wireless when an analogue or digital signal is sensed.

Although you can control multiple speakers via KEF Connect, currently there's no real multiroom functionality built-in. This is possible, however, via AirPlay 2 or Chromecast, but the latter requires some additional configuration via the Google Home app.
