The KEF Q650c is a premium 2.5-way bass reflex center channel speaker designed for home theater systems, delivering precise and captivating dialogue through its signature Uni-Q driver array. This technology mounts a 1-inch vented aluminum dome tweeter at the acoustic center of a 6.5-inch aluminum midrange driver, creating a single point source for wide dispersion and a large sweet spot. It includes an additional 6.5-inch aluminum low-frequency woofer and a 6.5-inch aluminum auxiliary bass radiator (ABR) for enhanced bass performance and seamless integration with Q Series speakers. The closed box midrange cabinet reduces distortion, while features like the tangerine waveguide, damped loading tube, and Z-Flex surround ensure detailed, accurate sound. Ideal for matching with Q750 or Q350 floorstanders, it provides rock-solid center imaging for movies, TV, and sports. Available in finishes like Satin Black and Walnut, with optional magnetic grilles. Binding post terminals and not wall-mountable.
