Get the Advanced Engineering Found in KEF's Higher-Priced Models in the Q3 Meta: Bookshelf Speakers Feature 12th-Generation Uni-Q Driver and Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) 

Take advantage of high-end technology adopted from KEF’s higher-priced models and have extra money left over to spend on music with the Q3 Meta bookshelf loudspeakers. Equally capable as a pair of front speakers for a small system or rear speakers for a surround system, and relatively easy to drive (87dB sensitivity), the 14.1 x 8.3 x 12.0-inch (HWD) Q3 Meta can even be wall-mounted with an optional wall bracket. Yet the most fascinating aspect of this delightful compact relates to the detailed, dynamic, accurate, and clean sound it produces. 

Equipped with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) that eliminates 99% of the unwanted noise from the rear of the 12th-generation Uni-Q driver – which in Q3 Meta bundles a one-inch vented aluminum-dome tweeter with a 6.5-inch aluminum-cone midrange – this 18.1-pound all-rounder offers musical playback that is lively, fun, and precise. The revised Uni-Q boasts a redesigned motor system designed with KEF's in-house simulation and analysis tools. Featuring a shaped and undercut pole as well as symmetrical aluminum demodulation rings that combine to reduce the inductance in the lower midrange, the assembly lessens distortion and enhances imaging.

KEF designed Q3 Meta to maximize energy transmission. This undertaking involved increasing the rear-chamber area by 250% compared to its predecessor, leading to increased linearity and MAT effectiveness. A refined crossover — developed after more than 1,000 measurements were taken in KEF’s anechoic chamber in its UK facility — translates to a refined signal path and the pristine sonics for which the British manufacturer is known. 

Sold with detachable magnetic grilles, Q3 Meta embrace a minimalist design completed with a satin finish to inconspicuously blend in with any decor. Fine-tuned by KEF and a seamless match with any other speakers in the Q Series line, Q3 Meta serves as proof you don’t need to spend a fortune to get high-quality performance.
