The KEF Q1 Meta is an entry-level HiFi bookshelf speaker that delivers exceptional sound quality from a compact design. It features KEF's revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), which absorbs 99% of unwanted noise from the rear of the tweeter for pure, natural sound. The 12th generation Uni-Q driver array combines a 25 mm (1 in.) vented aluminium dome tweeter with a 130 mm (5.25 in.) aluminium cone mid/bass driver, providing precise dispersion and a wide sweet spot. Designed as a two-way bass reflex speaker, it offers rich bass response thanks to its flared rear-firing port. Released in September 2024, it is ideal for building a first HiFi system, with versatile placement options using optional stands or wall brackets. Available in Satin Black, Satin White, and Walnut finishes.
