The KEF Q4 Meta is a slender, sleek 2-way bass reflex on-wall speaker designed for multiple roles in home theater systems, including left, center, right (LCR), or surround positions. It incorporates KEF's 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), which absorbs 99% of unwanted high-frequency noise from the rear of the tweeter for purer, natural sound and even dispersion from a single point source. The refined crossover, developed from over 1000 anechoic chamber measurements, ensures precise signal paths. It features a bass-reflex cabinet with a flared side-firing port, magnetic color-matched grilles, fixed keyhole wall mount, and rubber feet. Compatible with other Q Series speakers and KEF subwoofers for versatile setups. Available in finishes like Satin Black, Satin White, and Walnut. Backed by a 5-year warranty (6 years with registration).
