The META Factor
The Q Series has continued to evolve, now in its 9th iteration since its debut in 1991. Building on its award-winning heritage, this latest version incorporates cutting-edge Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) and advanced acoustic features derived from KEF’s flagship speakers. With the inclusion of the latest 12th generation Uni-Q driver array, this series offers a highly refined sound profile. These advancements make high-fidelity audio more accessible, catering to both stereo music lovers and multi-channel home cinema enthusiasts.
Revolutionary Sound Absorption with MAT™
The integration of Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) marks a breakthrough in audio performance for the Q Series. MAT™ features a complex, maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter, significantly reducing distortion. This advanced design results in a purer, more natural sound, enhancing both accuracy and clarity. Paired with the 12th generation Uni-Q driver array, MAT™ ensures that the Q Series delivers a highly transparent and lifelike audio experience.
Refined Crossover for Superior Sound
The Q Series features a refined crossover design, the result of over 1,000 precise measurements for each speaker model. This meticulous engineering ensures that all components work harmoniously, delivering a smooth and coherent sound. KEF’s in-house team used advanced simulation tools and prototyping techniques to optimise the signal path, ensuring that each speaker in the Q Series performs at its absolute best.
Uni-Q® Technology
With Uni-Q technology, every seat becomes the best in the room. By positioning the tweeter at the precise acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, sound is evenly dispersed, eliminating the need for a single 'sweet spot'. This ensures that everyone can enjoy the same immersive, high-fidelity audio as intended. The latest 12th-generation Uni-Q, featured across all models in the Q Series, delivers exceptionally natural sound for a truly captivating experience.
Shadow Flare Technology
To further enhance sound quality, the Kef Q3 incorporates Shadow Flare technology. This innovation reduces cabinet diffraction, which can otherwise interfere with sound clarity. By minimising these acoustic disturbances, Shadow Flare allows the Uni-Q driver array to function at its highest potential, resulting in a cleaner, more precise reproduction of fine details such as delicate cymbal work or the subtle harmonics of a piano.
