KEF Q7 Meta Floorstanding Speakers
The KEF Q7 META floorstanding speaker combines advanced technology with innovative design to deliver a rich, refined sound that is ideal for medium to large rooms. As the more compact of the two floorstanding models in the Q series, the Q7 META features two low-frequency drivers, providing deep, controlled bass while maintaining a sleek profile.
Despite its smaller size, the Q7 META offers an impressively natural and detailed audio presentation, effortlessly handling a wide range of music genres. Its ability to reproduce sound with clarity and depth, without overemphasis, makes it a perfect choice for those seeking high-performance audio in a smaller footprint.
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.
Enhanced 3-Way Speaker Design
One of the most significant upgrades in this iteration is the transition from a 2.5-way to a 3-way speaker design. This updated configuration separates the frequency ranges, with the Uni-Q driver handling the high and midrange frequencies while a newly designed bass driver is dedicated to managing low frequencies. This design enhances clarity by allowing the tweeter to transmit high-frequency sound over a smoother surface, reducing distortion in the lower midrange frequencies for an improved listening experience.
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, removing the need for a single 'sweet spot'. This ensures that everyone enjoys the same immersive, high-fidelity audio as intended. The latest 12th-generation Uni-Q, featured across all models in the Q Series, delivers remarkably natural sound for a truly captivating experience. Additionally, the Uni-Q benefits from the Flexible Decoupling Chassis, derived from our flagship Hi-Fi speakers, which significantly reduces unwanted vibrations, resulting in even greater clarity.
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.
Shadow Flare Technology
To further enhance sound quality, the Q7 META 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.
