KEF Blade One Meta Speakers

The world’s first Single Apparent Source speaker, now with 12th generation Uni-Q® with MAT™. A bespoke driver array engineered to deliver pristine performance and capable of raising Blade to new heights of performance. By providing a 252mm (9 in.) self-cancelling bass driver. The KEF Blade is the most popular model from the Blade series.

Enhanced Clarity and Precision

The innovative component, the Uni-Q driver array, sets KEF Blade One Meta apart, which allows a tweeter within the midrange cone to share the acoustic centre with the mid-range driver. Thus, this innovative novelty achieves a more detailed and cohesive sound image and ensures enhanced clarity and precision of all pitches.

The Introduction of Metamaterial Absorption Technology

Your devotion to sound quality and determination to offer a more unique listening experience drove KEF to be the innovators of their time in the field of acoustic engineering.

Your desire to adhere to the best possible acoustical conditions led to the birth of this whole new world of Ultra Hifi. In 2001, the head of KEF’s engineering department decided to create the best speaker KEF was capable of producing. All restrictions, bar none, were removed from the design brief. The best possible sound quality was the only requirement.

The final Concept Blade is the first Single-Apparent-Source loudspeaker in the world. Thus, engineers conceived this idea to take the technology to the last stage of its development. A full speaker, Blade, was designed and produced in 2013, suitable for the High-Fidelity sound that Hi-Fi aficionados could own.

Blade is an attitude; it’s all about daring to get the best out of HiFi sound and to explore the unexplored. In fact, that is why the latest version of Blade benefits from KEF’s latest acoustic innovations: Metamaterial Absorption Technology1 (MAT™), a bespoke 12th generation Uni-Q driver array, and a host of other improvements.
