Advanced Sound with MAT™ Technology
The Q1 Meta harnesses KEF’s revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), which dramatically improves sound quality by absorbing 99% of unwanted high-frequency distortion. MAT™ functions as an acoustic black hole, capturing rearward soundwaves before they can interfere with the speaker's output. This innovation ensures that every note, from the highest highs to the most intricate midrange, is delivered with unrivaled purity and natural clarity.
This technology is especially valuable for audiophiles seeking pristine sound. With the Q1 Meta, you’ll experience crystal-clear highs, rich midrange tones, and smooth, distortion-free playback. Whether it’s the subtle nuances in classical music or the precision of movie dialogue, MAT™ ensures an immersive and detailed sound that enhances your overall listening experience.
Immersive Multi-Dimensional Audio
The KEF Q1 Meta creates a rich, multi-dimensional soundstage, transforming any room into a concert hall or cinema. Thanks to the combination of MAT™ and KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, the Q1 Meta delivers wide and even sound dispersion, allowing you to enjoy high-fidelity audio from anywhere in the room. The closed-box design further enhances bass performance, providing tight, controlled lows that blend perfectly with the mids and highs for a balanced, dynamic sound.
Whether you’re listening to music or watching a film, the Q1 Meta brings every sound element to life with clarity and precision. Its flexible design allows for wall mounting with the optional B2 Wall Bracket or placement on a floor stand, making it suitable for both small and larger spaces. The Q1 Meta is the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy an immersive sound experience without compromising on space or style.
Tweeter Motor System for Enhanced Clarity
The Q1 Meta features a redesigned tweeter motor system that enhances sound transmission and clarity. By increasing the tweeter’s rear chamber vent by 250%, more sound energy is directed into the MAT™ absorber, reducing distortion and improving linearity. This results in clearer, more detailed high frequencies, allowing the Q1 Meta to handle complex musical compositions and movie soundtracks with ease.
The improved tweeter system ensures that every high-pitched sound is delivered without distortion, providing a more vibrant and detailed listening experience. Whether you're listening to high-energy rock music or a dialogue-heavy film, the Q1 Meta ensures that every high frequency is crisp and clear, giving you a balanced and immersive sound experience.
