The Q1 Meta in Black is a beautiful addition to any modern living space. The matte black finish gives the speaker a sleek and minimalist look that fits perfectly with a wide range of interior styles. Whether you have a hi-fi setup in your living room or are looking for high-quality bookshelf speakers for your office, the Q1 Meta not only offers exceptional sound quality, but also adds a touch of elegance to any room.
The enclosure is designed with a focus on acoustic performance and features internal bracing to minimize unwanted vibrations and resonances. This ensures cleaner sound reproduction, even at higher volumes, and offers an impressive soundstage that transcends its compact size.
Sound revolution with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT)
One of the most notable innovations in the KEF Q1 Meta is the integration of Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT). This technology absorbs more than 99% of unwanted high frequencies, minimizing distortion and allowing you to enjoy clear, pure sound. MAT ensures that even the subtlest details in music and dialogues are accurately reproduced, without distracting noises disrupting the sound spectrum.
Thanks to MAT, the Q1 Meta offers an exceptionally natural listening experience, allowing you to enjoy every nuance in your favorite music or movies, whether it's the deep tones of bass frequencies or the crisp sharpness of treble.
12th Generation Uni-Q Driver for Uniform Sound
The core of the KEF Q1 Meta is the 12th generation Uni-Q driver array, a technology patented by KEF to create a wider and more uniform soundstage. The tweeter is placed in the center of the woofer, which means the sound is evenly distributed throughout the room. Whether you are sitting directly in front of the speakers or at the side of the room, you will always enjoy the same clear, detailed sound with no loss of quality.
The combination of the Uni-Q driver and the hybrid aluminum LF driver ensures that the Q1 Meta produces a balanced sound, with strong bass response and sparkling treble. This bookshelf loudspeaker is designed to bring any music style or movie soundtrack to life, with a clarity and accuracy that fully immerses you in the listening experience.
Powerful Performance in a Compact Format
Although the KEF Q1 Meta is compact enough to place on a bookshelf or wall-mount, it delivers performance you would typically expect only from larger floorstanding speakers. The speaker offers a wide frequency range, making both low and high frequencies sound clear and defined. The LF driver with its aluminum cone provides controlled, deep bass reproduction without distortion, even at higher volumes.
Thanks to its advanced enclosure design and Uni-Q driver, the Q1 Meta speakers can fill a room with sound with ease, whether for an intimate listening experience in a smaller space or a dynamic home theater setup.
Versatility and Flexibility in Placement
The KEF Q1 Meta in Black is not only aesthetically versatile, but also offers flexibility in placement. With the option to use the speaker with the B2 wall mount or on the SQ1 floor stand, you can easily integrate it into different rooms and setups. This versatility makes the Q1 Meta suitable for living room setups as well as for use in home offices, bedrooms or study rooms.
Whether you choose to wall mount it to save space or place it on a stand for optimal height, the Q1 Meta adapts to your specific needs without sacrificing sound quality.
