KEF Q8 Meta Dolby Atmos Speakers

Dolby Atmos surround speakers

The KEF Q8 Meta is designed to excel as either a surround or rear speaker, thanks to its integrated wall mount feature. Alternatively, it can be positioned atop another main speaker to achieve Dolby Atmos height, allowing sound to reflect off the ceiling and bring the immersive experience of Dolby Atmos into your room without requiring custom installation. For even greater impact, pair the Q8 Meta with a KEF subwoofer. Whether it’s the gentle rustle of leaves in a tranquil scene or the intense crescendo of a dramatic moment, the KEF Q8 META ensures you capture every crucial detail.

The Q Series speakers are crafted with a contemporary minimalist design, featuring a satin finish that provides a refined, subtle glow. Available in Satin Black, Satin White, and Walnut, with meticulously selected colour-matched driver units, these speakers are designed to seamlessly blend into any interior. The result is a stylish yet unobtrusive addition to your space, delivering exceptional sound quality while enhancing the overall aesthetic of your room.

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 Q4 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.
