KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers (Pair), Walnut

The Q1 Meta is a compact yet high-performing 2-way bookshelf speaker that offers impressive sound quality without compromise. Despite its small size, it delivers a remarkable listening experience, making it a perfect choice for both audiophiles and casual music lovers. As part of KEF’s latest Q Series, the Q1 Meta incorporates advanced technologies, making it an ideal option for those just starting to build their HiFi system.

At the heart of the Q1 Meta is KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, a signature innovation that ensures clear, detailed sound and an expansive, immersive soundstage. This unique design allows the high and mid frequencies to radiate from a single point, resulting in a more cohesive and accurate sound. Whether you’re listening to delicate vocals or powerful symphonic music, the Uni-Q driver faithfully brings every detail to life.

Another standout feature of the Q1 Meta is the integration of Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™). This groundbreaking technology, developed in collaboration with the Acoustic Metamaterials Group, minimizes unwanted distortion by absorbing sound from behind the tweeter. This results in a cleaner, more natural sound, free from the colorations often found in traditional speaker designs, and ensures a more faithful representation of the original recording.

The Q1 Meta is designed to be versatile, making it perfect for smaller rooms or as part of a larger HiFi system. Its modern design, available in Satin Black, Satin White, and Walnut finishes, allows it to blend seamlessly into any décor. If you’re looking for a compact speaker that delivers exceptional sound quality and value, the Q1 Meta is the ideal choice to kickstart your HiFi journey.
