Kef Q Concerto Meta – Pair of bookshelf speakers

Kef Q Concerto Meta, the largest of KEF's Q series bookshelf speaker collection. Paying homage to the original Concerto from 1969, the English brand's first 3-way speaker, this modernized version offers professional, high-end audio quality. Thanks to its 3-way design and Metamaterial Absorption (MAT™) technology, this wired speaker guarantees high-fidelity audio performance. Perfect for those looking for a superior sound experience and elegant design.

At the heart of the Kef Q Concerto's performance is Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), a technology developed to almost completely eliminate high-frequency distortion. The MAT, with its labyrinthine structure, acts as an absorber of unwanted sound waves, improving the purity of the sound and making listening extremely natural. This technology represents a real turning point in the acoustic evolution of Kef speakers.

The Kef Q Concerto features the renowned 12th generation Uni-Q driver, an exclusive KEF feature that allows for a homogeneous and balanced sound diffusion. The 19 mm aluminum tweeter is positioned in the center of the midrange cone, ensuring precise acoustic dispersion in all directions, so as to create a realistic and immersive soundstage. The integration with the MAT allows the Uni-Q driver to work at its maximum potential, reducing resonances and improving the details of the high frequencies.

Three-way bookshelf speaker

One of the main features that distinguishes the Kef Q Concerto from other bookshelf models is its three-way configuration. This design precisely separates the high, mid and low frequencies, allowing each driver to focus on its own range, without overloading the other components. The separation of frequencies ensures a clearer and more detailed sound reproduction, especially in the mid-low ranges, offering much more precise listening than two-way speakers.

Despite its compact size, the Kef Q Concerto is able to deliver deep and controlled bass thanks to its 165 mm aluminum hybrid woofer. This structure gives rigidity to the cone, allowing a rapid and precise response to low frequencies, maintaining exceptional dynamics even at high volumes. The design of the woofer, combined with an optimized surround geometry, guarantees powerful and distortion-free bass, ideal for any musical genre.

The Kef Q Concerto leaves nothing to chance, not even in the crossover, which has been carefully optimized to ensure perfect integration between the different components of the speaker. Each model of the Q series, including the Concerto, has been subjected to more than 1000 measurements in an anechoic chamber, allowing KEF engineers to perfect the frequency response and obtain the most natural sound reproduction possible. The result is a smooth transition between high, medium and low frequencies, ensuring an impeccable audio performance.

The Kef Q Concerto combines technological excellence with a refined aesthetic design. Available in Satin Black, Satin White and Walnut finishes, it fits perfectly into any environment, both modern and classic. The optional magnetic grilles protect the drivers without compromising the elegance of the speaker, adding a touch of style without altering the sound quality.

The Kef Q Concerto represents the ultimate expression of a bookshelf speaker, capable of combining compact dimensions with top-level performance. Thanks to the Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) and the 12th generation Uni-Q driver, this speaker offers a detailed and natural sound experience, with powerful bass and crystal clear sound. Ideal for high-fidelity enthusiasts looking for a versatile and high-performance speaker, the Kef Q Concerto is an excellent choice for a superior audio experience.
