KEF LS50 Meta speakers features innovative new absorption technology

KEF LS50 Meta Compact Bookshelf Speakers in Black, Carbon Gray, Mineral White, and Royal Blue Finishes

The KEF LS50 Meta speakers are one of the first speakers engineered with Metamaterial, a breaking new ground in speaker design which is to no suprise where it obtained its name. Jointly developed with the Acoustic Metamaterials Group, the Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) uses specially developed structures that create new properties from existing materials that aren’t found in naturally occurring substances. MAT features a highly complex maze structure, allowing each of the channels to absorb a specific frequency. With all the channels together, MAT creates an acoustic black hole, absorbing 99% of unwanted resonant frequencies, providing a purer, natural performance without the risk of distortion that you find in most speakers.

The KEF LS50 Meta speakers use a Uni-Q tweeter featured in it’s predecessors, this is positioned in the centre of the main driver for optimum timing. Now on the 12th generation Uni-Q driver, they deliver point source detailed and accurate sound, dispersed evenly throughout the room. Enjoy your music from any seatin the room and always be in the sweet spot. The midrange driver features a new precisely shaped decoupler and motor system designed to reduce high-frequency distortion. With all this in mind iy results in a sound that is more transparent and life-like than the previous KEF LS50 Wireless Speakers. The bass performance exceeds expectations from the compact speaker with deep, articulate bass.

The LS50 Meta retain the same design of the LS50 speakers, with the low-diffraction baffle and centrally aligned Uni-Q driver. On the underneath of each speaker, a thread insert is fitted, allowing you to secure the LS50 Meta to the new KEF S2 stands, for the best performance from the speakers. The LS50 Meta speakers are available in four different finishes, all silk matte, with black, white, grey and royal blue options.
