The Answer is always in the Q

The new Q Series with MAT™ always has the right sound solution for you

Metamaterial Absorption Technology™

The crucial advancement in the Q Series is the integration of Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™). MAT is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted noise from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing a purer, more natural sound.

What are the key features of the KEF Q3 Meta Bookshelf Speaker?

The Q3 Meta bookshelf speaker features Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), which significantly reduces distortion for purer sound quality. The 12th generation Uni-Q Driver Array offers precise sound dispersion, creating a more immersive and detailed audio experience, and its powerful drivers and robust construction ensure exceptional performance.

Are bookshelf speakers like the Q3 Meta better on stands?

When placed directly on furniture, speakers can transfer vibrations, leading to sound distortions. Speaker stands like the SQ1 Floor Stand are designed to minimise these vibrations, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate sound. Stands also position the speakers at the optimal height for a superior sound experience.

Can the Q3 Meta Bookshelf speaker be wall-mounted?

The Q3 Meta can be wall-mounted when used in combination with the B2 Wall Bracket. A sturdy bracket is screwed directly onto the rear of the speaker, allowing for an almost flush mounting against the wall. A rubber bar protects both the wall and speaker, whilst ensuring that the optimal speaker position is maintained.
