The KEF Q Concerto Meta Bookshelf Speakers are a celebration of sound engineering and timeless design, delivering a premium listening experience for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. As the largest bookshelf model in KEF’s Q Series, the Q Concerto Meta pays homage to KEF’s 1969 original Concerto while incorporating cutting-edge audio technologies like Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) and the renowned Uni-Q driver array. With their precision-tuned 3-way system, these speakers offer stunning audio clarity, powerful bass, and a refined midrange, all housed in an elegant design that complements any space.
Innovative 3-Way System for Superior Sound Separation
The Q Concerto Meta employs a true 3-way design that separates the frequencies with exceptional accuracy. Featuring KEF's acclaimed Uni-Q driver array, the 0.75" aluminum dome tweeter and 4" aluminum midrange driver act as a single source, delivering a smooth, detailed soundstage with a wide listening "sweet spot." Positioned below the Uni-Q system, a 6.5" hybrid aluminum bass woofer ensures impactful, punchy bass performance. This carefully engineered design allows each driver to focus on its frequency range, resulting in a rich and coherent sound that brings your favorite music and movies to life.
Uni-Q Driver Array with Shadow Flare Technology
The 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array features KEF’s unique placement of the tweeter at the center of the midrange cone, allowing for more even sound dispersion and eliminating the traditional “sweet spot” limitations. This technology ensures that everyone in the room enjoys the same clear, natural sound, regardless of their position. Additionally, KEF’s Shadow Flare technology surrounds the Uni-Q driver, reducing cabinet diffraction for improved high-frequency clarity. The result is precise, articulate audio with a remarkable sense of detail and realism.
MAT™: Metamaterial Absorption Technology for Crystal-Clear Treble
The Q Concerto Meta incorporates KEF’s revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), an intricate maze-like structure placed behind the tweeter. MAT absorbs up to 99% of unwanted sound radiating from the back of the driver, eliminating distortion and creating a purer, more natural high-frequency response. Combined with a redesigned tweeter gap damper, the Q Concerto Meta delivers astonishing clarity and resolution in the treble range, revealing the finest nuances in every track.
Hybrid Aluminum Bass Driver for Powerful and Accurate Low-End
KEF has equipped the Q Concerto Meta with a 6.5" hybrid aluminum bass woofer to deliver exceptional bass performance. This driver combines a lightweight paper cone with a rigid aluminum skin, providing the perfect balance of speed and stiffness for deep, detailed, and controlled bass. Paired with KEF’s rear-firing bass-reflex port, optimized using computational fluid dynamics, the woofer produces a rich, full-bodied low end with minimal distortion, even at high volumes.
Precision Craftsmanship and Elegant Design
Beyond its sonic capabilities, the Q Concerto Meta bookshelf speakers are a work of art. Crafted with premium MDF cabinets and finished in a choice of Walnut, Satin Black, or Satin White, these speakers are designed to blend seamlessly into any interior. The included magnetic grilles provide a clean and modern aesthetic, while the rear-firing ports ensure optimal performance in any room. Whether placed on speaker stands, shelves, or tabletops, the Q Concerto Meta offers both visual and acoustic appeal for music lovers and home theatre enthusiasts.
