KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers (Pair), Satin Black

The Q1 Meta is a compact yet powerful 2-way bookshelf speaker that delivers outstanding performance without sacrificing sound quality. Despite its small size, it offers an impressive listening experience, making it an ideal choice for both audiophiles and casual music lovers. As part of KEF’s latest Q Series, the Q1 Meta features advanced technology, making it a great option for those building their first HiFi sound system.

At its core, the Q1 Meta is equipped with KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, a hallmark of the brand’s innovation. This design ensures remarkable clarity and an expansive, immersive soundstage. By allowing the high and mid frequencies to radiate from a single point, the Uni-Q driver delivers a more accurate and cohesive sound across the entire frequency range. Whether you’re enjoying soft vocals or the grandeur of orchestral music, the Uni-Q driver brings every nuance to life.

The Q1 Meta also incorporates Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), a groundbreaking feature developed in collaboration with the Acoustic Metamaterials Group. MAT™ reduces unwanted distortion by absorbing sound from behind the tweeter, resulting in a cleaner, more natural sound that eliminates the colorations common in traditional speaker designs. This leads to a more precise and faithful reproduction of your music.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Q1 Meta is well-suited for smaller rooms or as part of a larger HiFi system. Its modern, stylish design comes in Satin Black, Satin White, and Walnut finishes, ensuring it fits seamlessly into any living space. For those seeking a compact speaker with excellent performance and value, the Q1 Meta is the ideal choice to begin your HiFi journey.
