KEF Q11 Meta

KEF Q11 Meta – 3-way floorstanding speaker packed with innovative technology and sublime sound

The KEF Q11 Meta is the absolute top model in the Q series and sets a new standard for hi-fi sound in its class. With its advanced 3-way construction, the revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) and KEF's latest 12th generation Uni-Q driver array, the Q11 Meta offers a sound experience in a class of its own. Here, KEF has truly created a speaker that is capable of filling even the largest rooms with powerful, pure and precise sound. Every detail of the design and technology is aimed at delivering an authentic and unforgettable listening experience that will take even the most discerning music lovers and hi-fi enthusiasts by storm.

3-way construction – Power and precision in harmony

As the top model, the Q11 Meta stands out with an advanced 3-way design that separates the frequency ranges to ensure even more detailed and precise sound reproduction. In contrast to a 2-way design, this provides a better separation of the frequency ranges, which allows the Q11 Meta to deliver a much more nuanced and dynamic sound thanks to its dedicated woofers. The newly developed 6.5” woofers provide deep and powerful bass, while the midrange and treble remain clear and undistorted. This makes the Q11 Meta ideal for large rooms and home theaters, where you can take full advantage of its incredible sound capacity.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) – Ultra-pure sound

At the heart of the Q11 Meta is the groundbreaking Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), one of KEF's most significant technological advances. MAT™ uses a complex labyrinth structure to absorb up to 99% of the unwanted sound that would otherwise reflect off the back of the tweeter. Acting as an acoustic "black hole", the technology effectively eliminates the distortions present in the high frequencies, resulting in a much cleaner and more natural sound reproduction. With MAT™, you get a listening experience where even the finest details in the music become clear, and where the sound is presented exactly as the artist intended.

12th generation Uni-Q driver array – Uniform and detailed sound reproduction

KEF's unique Uni-Q driver array has been at the heart of their speakers for decades, and in the Q11 Meta you'll find the latest 12th generation, now with MAT™ for further enhancement. The Uni-Q driver places the tweeter at the centre of the midrange unit, creating a point source that delivers a uniform sound dispersion throughout the room. This technology not only provides a wider "sweet spot" where the sound is experienced optimally, but also ensures that both high and midrange tones are reproduced with precision and harmony, no matter where you sit. In the Q11 Meta, this technology is refined with advanced simulation tools, ensuring even greater precision and clarity.

Newly developed units for deeper and more precise bass

As the largest model in the Q series, the Q11 Meta is equipped with upgraded woofers designed to deliver powerful and precise bass. The large 8” woofers feature a hybrid structure combining a concave aluminum surface and paper cone, ensuring a lightweight and rigid construction. This design provides fast and controlled bass reproduction, even at high volumes. Together with the dual passive radiators, which expand the total cone area, the Q11 Meta delivers deep and rich bass that can be felt even in large rooms.

Shadow Flare – Crystal clear sound without distortion

To improve clarity and minimise cabinet distortion, the Q11 Meta features KEF's Shadow Flare technology. The technology is derived from KEF's most exclusive models and acts as a precision-engineered extension of the Uni-Q's waveguide. Shadow Flare creates a 'shadow zone' around the driver, reducing unwanted diffraction and acoustic interference from the cabinet edges. The result is a dramatic improvement in clarity and detail, which is particularly evident around the high-frequency range. This means that even the most subtle nuances in the music are audible with incredible precision and authenticity.

Optimized for large rooms – Full control at all volumes

The KEF Q11 Meta is designed to impress in large listening rooms, where the extra capacity of its 4-way design really comes into its own. With a sensitivity of 90dB and an impressive frequency response that goes all the way down to 28Hz, the Q11 Meta delivers deep, powerful sound with incredible control, even at high volumes. This makes it perfect for both music systems and home cinemas, where it can handle the most demanding soundtracks with ease.

Elegant design and first-class build quality

The KEF Q11 Meta is not only designed to deliver exceptional sound quality, but also to be a visual highlight in your home. With its elegant and minimalist design, KEF has ensured that the Q11 Meta is also available in several luxurious finishes to suit any home. The carefully selected materials and solid construction not only ensure a long lifespan, but also minimal cabinet vibration, further enhancing the sound quality.
