The KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers are designed for those seeking high-quality sound in smaller spaces or as part of a surround sound system. Featuring KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver, which combines a 25mm tweeter and 5.25-inch mid/bass unit, they deliver balanced, room-filling sound. The design eliminates the common restraints of finding a ‘sweet spot’ for listening, ensuring clarity from any position in the room. Thanks to MAT technology, the Q1 Meta also absorbs 99 per cent of unwanted sound waves from the rear of the tweeter.
The enhanced crossover system ensures clean transitions between high and low frequencies. With a wide frequency response of 51 Hz to 20 kHz, the Q1 Meta is perfect for both music and films. Rear bass reflex ports extend the speaker’s low-end performance, delivering richer bass, even at low volumes. Whether you’re using them in a stereo setup or as part of a 5.1 surround system, these compact speakers offer exceptional sound quality.
