KEF Q1 Meta speakers
Passive speakers for a stereo setup and home cinema
The KEF Q1 Meta are 2-way Hi-Fi wall-mounted speakers, with which you can easily create a high-quality stereo setup or a surround sound home cinema system. Detailed, natural, and evenly dispersed sound is provided by the 12th-generation 5.25" Uni-Q drivers with a 25mm aluminium dome tweeter. The KEF Q1 Meta speakers also use MAT technology, which absorbs up to 99% of unwanted sound radiated from the rear of the tweeter, resulting in higher clarity and less distortion. A precisely tuned crossover, developed from over 1000 measurements in an anechoic chamber, ensures accurate signal distribution between the drivers and an optimal final performance. The KEF Q1 Meta speakers offer a frequency range of 51Hz to 20kHz, a sensitivity of 86dB, a maximum acoustic output of 108dB, and are suitable for amplifiers with a power output of 10 to 150W. Thanks to their compact size, you can place the speakers on a shelf, complement them with an SQ1 floor stand, or mount them on the wall using a compatible B2 bracket. A colour-matched magnetic grille also protects the drivers while maintaining the speakers' elegant appearance.

KEF Q1 Meta delivers clean sound without unwanted resonance
The KEF Q1 Meta speaker uses advanced Metamaterial Absorption Technology, which absorbs up to 99% of the unwanted sound radiated from the rear of the tweeter. The specially designed structure acts as an acoustic labyrinth where individual channels absorb unwanted frequencies and limit their negative impact on the final performance. The speaker offers you cleaner, more natural sound with more accurate detail reproduction and lower distortion.
Speaker with Uni-Q driver for more immersive surround sound
The KEF Q1 Meta uses a 12th-generation Uni-Q driver, which places a 25mm tweeter in the acoustic centre of the 5.25" mid-bass driver, thus acting as a single point source of sound. This design enables more even sound dispersion into the room, creating a wide, coherent soundstage. Thanks to Uni-Q technology, you can enjoy a clean and detailed performance not only in the ideal listening position but also in other spots around the room.
Flexible speakers for your home cinema
By combining the KEF Q1 Meta with other Q series speakers and KEF subwoofers, you can create a surround sound system tailored to the size of your room and your requirements. You can easily use them as part of a stereo system or a home cinema, where they will provide detailed and impressive sound for watching films, series, and playing games. This means you can gradually expand your KEF Q1 Meta setup and adapt it to your listening needs.
Precisely tuned crossover for optimal sound
The KEF Q1 Meta speaker uses a precisely engineered crossover, developed based on more than 1000 measurements in an anechoic chamber. The crossover ensures accurate distribution of the audio signal between the individual drivers, so that each one operates in its optimal frequency range. Thanks to this careful tuning, the speaker offers you a balanced and accurate sound with a natural integration of the different frequency bands.
Optimal placement with optional KEF SQ1 stands
You can complement the speakers with compatible KEF SQ1 floor stands, which allow you to place them at a suitable listening height and create the optimal conditions for high-quality sound reproduction. The stands also provide a stable base for the speakers and help to elegantly integrate them into your living room or listening space. By combining the KEF Q1 Meta with SQ1 stands, you can easily create a clean-looking Hi-Fi system with appropriate positioning.
KEF Q1 Meta speakers can be wall-mounted
Using a compatible KEF B2 wall bracket, you can easily mount the speakers on the wall and adapt their placement to the layout of the room. Wall-mounting allows you to save space on furniture or the floor while elegantly integrating the speakers into your stereo setup or home cinema system. With the B2 bracket, the KEF Q1 Meta gives you another option for flexible speaker placement according to your needs.
Magnetic grille with an elegant design
The colour-matched magnetic grille protects the drivers from dust and accidental damage while maintaining the elegant look of the entire system. Thanks to the magnetic attachment, you can easily put the grille on or take it off without any tools, customising the appearance of the KEF Q1 Meta speaker to suit your preferences.
System type
An active speaker is one that has a built-in amplifier. To listen, you just need to connect it to a sound source, either wired or wirelessly.Passive speakers are more often referred to simply as speaker systems. They are intended for high-quality, loud, and dynamic listening in the comfort of your home and are not suitable for frequent transport. The main advantage of passive speakers is the ability to connect a variety of sources through a separate amplifier.
Number of channels
For speaker systems and home cinemas, the number of channels indicates the number of independent audio signals (speakers) and subwoofers, most often in X.Y format (e.g., 2.0, 5.1). It specifies how many audio tracks are reproduced simultaneously, which determines the spatial experience and bass depth of the system, from basic stereo sound (2.0) to surround sound (5.1 and higher).Specifications
