In detail
About the Q1 Meta
Overview
The Q1 Meta is the smallest passive bookshelf speaker in KEF's Q Series. It is a two-way bass reflex design built around a 130 mm (5.25 in.) 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), and can be placed on a shelf, cabinet or stand, or wall mounted.
It can be used as a stereo pair for music or combined with other Q Series models and KEF subwoofers in a home theatre system.
Drivers and Technology
- 12th generation Uni-Q driver array, with the tweeter at the centre of the midrange/bass cone so both radiate from the same point
- Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT): a maze-like absorber behind the tweeter that KEF states absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the dome
- Crossover developed by KEF from more than 1,000 on- and off-axis measurements per model in its anechoic chamber in Maidstone, UK
- Tweeter rear chamber vent enlarged by 250% (per KEF) so more of the rear sound reaches the MAT absorber
- 25 mm (1 in.) vented aluminium dome tweeter with MAT and 130 mm (5.25 in.) aluminium cone
Placement and Design
- Colour-matched magnetic grilles included
- Port bungs included
- Matching SQ1 Floor Stand available separately
- Can be wall mounted with the optional KEF B2 Wall Bracket
- Finishes: Satin Black, Satin White, Walnut
