KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers

The KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers bring KEF’s legendary audio innovation to a compact form factor. As part of the newly evolved Q Series, these two-way bass-reflex speakers combine the revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) with KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, offering audiophiles unparalleled sound clarity, precision, and depth. Designed to blend seamlessly into any space, the Q1 Meta is perfect for music lovers seeking premium sound performance without compromise.

Revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™)

The Q1 Meta incorporates KEF’s groundbreaking Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), a game-changing advancement in audio engineering. MAT uses a highly intricate maze-like structure to absorb 99% of unwanted sound waves produced at the rear of the tweeter. This drastically reduces distortion and results in a clearer, more natural high-frequency response. Whether you’re listening to delicate acoustic passages or complex orchestral movements, MAT ensures that every note is delivered with precision and purity.

Uni-Q Driver Array for Exceptional Sound Dispersion

The Q1 Meta features KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, a hallmark of KEF’s innovation. This design positions the 25mm aluminum dome tweeter at the center of the 130mm midrange cone, allowing high and midrange frequencies to emanate from a single point source. This eliminates phase issues and expands the “sweet spot,” ensuring detailed and uniform sound throughout the room. The result is a listening experience that feels immersive, with balanced tones and stunning clarity regardless of your position.

Deep and Accurate Bass Response

Despite its compact size, the Q1 Meta delivers powerful and clean bass performance thanks to its optimized 5.25-inch hybrid aluminum low-frequency driver. Engineered for stiffness and low weight, the driver provides piston-like movement for fast, accurate bass response. The bass-reflex cabinet design incorporates a rear-firing flared port to minimize turbulence, delivering rich and articulate low-end frequencies. This makes the Q1 Meta ideal for both music and movies, adding depth to every track and scene.

Precision-Tuned Crossovers for Balanced Sound

To achieve seamless integration between its drivers, KEF has meticulously refined the crossover network of the Q1 Meta. Using over 1,000 specific measurements, KEF’s engineers optimized the signal path for pristine clarity and smooth transitions across frequencies. This attention to detail ensures that instruments and vocals are reproduced with natural timbre and lifelike accuracy. The result is a balanced sound signature that makes every genre of music sound spectacular.

Elegant Design and Versatile Placement Options

The KEF Q1 Meta features a contemporary, minimalist design with a choice of Satin Black, Satin White, or Walnut finishes, making it a stylish addition to any room. The compact bookshelf design allows placement on a tabletop, shelf, or dedicated speaker stand, and optional B2 Wall Brackets provide wall-mounting flexibility for smaller spaces. Each unit includes magnetic grilles for a clean aesthetic while protecting the drivers. Thoughtfully crafted, the Q1 Meta seamlessly blends performance and style.
