A Classic Reborn

Reviving the spirit of the original 1969 Concerto speaker, the modernised Q Concerto Meta is the first 3-way bookshelf speaker in the Q series.

Home Theatre made versatile

Mix and match with other Q Series speakers and KEF subwoofers for a versatile home theatre experience that transports you to the heart of the action.

The Answer is always in the Q

The new Q Series with MAT™ always has the right sound solution for you

Metamaterial Absorption Technology™

The crucial advancement in the Q Series is the integration of Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™). MAT is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted noise from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing a purer, more natural sound.

12th Generation Uni-Q ®

A 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ is found in all eight models of the Q Series. Uni-Q® acts as a single point source to disperse sound more evenly through the room, allowing everybody, wherever in the room they are, to enjoy the same natural, detailed sound for an immersive entertainment experience.

3-way Speaker Design

Ensures precise separation of high, mid, and low frequencies for exceptional detail and clarity, bringing music and movies to life.

Deep and Clean Bass

The Q Series features a hybrid bass driver design that provides stiffness to achieve a piston-like movement for better bass punch and speed. Combined with a port modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), this results in precise and agile bass management even at high output levels.

Refined Crossover

Developed using over 1000 measurements in an anechoic chamber, ensures precise signal path for best possible performance.

Shadow flare

Derived from the flagship models, Shadow Flare is a carefully profiled transition that extends the waveguide effect of Uni-Q. This design reduces unwanted cabinet diffraction, allowing the treble to escape naturally without reaching the cabinet edges. The result is vastly improved fine detail reproduction.

Matching SQ1 Floor Stands

Complimentary colour-matched grilles offer the perfect balance between driver protection and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sets the KEF Q Concerto Meta wired speaker apart from other wired speakers?

The Q Concerto Meta is the first 3-way bookshelf speaker in the Q Series.

Its use of Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), which significantly reduces distortion for cleaner sound,sets our Q Series speakers apart from other wired speakers on the market.

What is a 3-way speaker?

A 3-way speaker system employs dedicated drivers to handle high frequencies, mid-range tones, and bass/low frequencies. By dividing the audio spectrum into these three distinct bands, each driver can be optimised for its specific role. This allows 3-way speakers to deliver a more refined, balanced, and immersive sound quality.
