The Uni-Q unit – the heart of the LS50 Meta's sound
It's been almost a decade since KEF launched the old LS50, so the big question is, has the LS50 Meta been worth the wait? We have no doubt - it has! But you have to hear it for yourself, because with the LS50 Meta, KEF has now introduced its 12th generation of the Uni-Q unit, and it provides an audibly larger soundstage, better imaging and a fantastic natural and detailed sound. In addition, the LS50 Meta delivers a clearer and cleaner sound in the upper range of the midrange and the lower range of the treble, so you can enjoy much more the voices of your favorite artists.
The LS50 Meta's signature sound is only possible because KEF places the tweeter in the acoustic center of the midrange/bass unit, so that all the sound comes from a single point. This means that the mid- and high-frequency tones are spread much more evenly and widely than conventional speakers, where the sound comes from devices with different locations. When the sound comes from a single point, it also has the advantage that interference problems are avoided, and it gives a much cleaner and more natural sound. Another advantage is that all the frequencies reach the ear at the same time, and this has the effect that the sound is perceived much more precisely and realistically.
MAT – A revolutionary acoustic technology
Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) is a synthetic material that KEF has developed to be able to absorb the unwanted sound that the device or cabinet creates. They have done this by creating a complex labyrinth-like structure where the patterns are made to absorb the different frequency ranges, creating an acoustic black hole where the sound from the back of the unit and the cabinet cannot escape. It eliminates a whopping 99 percent of unwanted sound, leaving you to hear only the desired sound fired from the front of the speaker unit. The result is a cleaner and more natural sound that is completely free of distortion.
Designed for good sound
The LS50 Meta's acoustic improvements are also reflected in KEF's design choices. Here they have equipped the LS50 Meta with a low-diffraction baffle, while the cabinet is cross-braced, injection-molded and damped to eliminate internal vibrations. The effect of this is that the LS50 Meta has the absolute lowest coloration of any speaker in its class!
Another feature of the LS50 Meta's design is the patented staggered reflex port, which is designed to delay turbulence and prevent resonances from affecting the midrange. It improves clarity and leads to a much more detailed and immersive sound.
The KEF LS50 Meta can be advantageously mounted on the S2 Floor Stand, which is specially designed for the speakers. Buy them here .
