Description

The LS50 Meta speakers from KEF have an exemplary record in terms of sound quality. Like the LS50, the LS50 Meta is packed with distinctive technologies and materials of the finest quality.

KEF LS50 Meta Speakers

This post describes the projects currently being developed at Metamaterial Absorption Technology. Their features and design strategies. The new KEF LS50 Meta speakers are the audio engineering industry of today and tomorrow.

 Metamaterial Absorption Technology

KEF​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ LS50 Meta has music-related revolution mainly through absorption of the MAT (Metamaterial Absorption ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Technology). The breakthrough technology involves non-natural materials to absorb almost 100% of the sound emitted by the backside of the speaker driver. The most crucial acoustic change that MAT has helped realize is the absorption of such acoustic energy. This provides enhanced clarity and outstanding sound reproduction.

Professional​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ experts at KEF used state-of-the-art simulation and analysis tools to create the 12th generation of the Uni-Q with MAT™ ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌technology.Through this most recent transducer array, the sound quality is unparalleled with respect to its even distribution, low coloration, almost zero distortion, and transparency. Also, it reaches the whole room fully.

Uni-Q Driver Technology

Thanks to the Uni-Q with MAT™ technology. The 12th-generation driver array can produce entirely uniform room-filling sound. Nearly​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ free of colouration, distortion, and transparency, which was previously impossible.

In a conversation with Kef’s program development manager Bill Hemmings. He explained how the enhanced sound might have originated from the new Uni-Q cone. In a nutshell, the Uni-Q loudspeaker cone was the end product of the Uni-Q loudspeaker project.

Uni-Q can produce a different loudspeaker cone, which will be the finished product. Krotos was a project that involved the whole process. From design to sourcing, production, new manufacturing technologies, and several other things.

Braced for Action

The LS50 Meta’s baffle is made of an injection-moulded material. Called Dough Moulding Compound (DMC). Cross bracing and Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) inside the cabinet act together to stifle internal vibrations. The outcome of such almost obsessive accuracy is the least colouration of any speaker in its class.

Impecable Build Quality

The LS50 Meta stands out because, besides having an unobtrusive, tactile, and fabulously industrial design. It defines the qualities of a top-quality metalworking artist. The speaker is in a specially manufactured monocrystalline-finished cabinet. This optimises acoustics and homogenises the environmental space with the technological aesthetics of floor and wall construction.

The LS50 Meta’s multiple colours serve as a palette of sounds and a good selection of designs that can attract the attention of anyone who visits your house.

Summary of KEF LS50 Meta Speakers

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ design of the LS50 Meta down to the smallest detail has not only focused on deliver the sound quality and acoustic benefits but also on the artistic aspect alone. The low-diffraction curved front panel is a subtle reference to the pretty and undulating rear panel.

Eloquent Design

At​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ first glance very catchy. However, as a speaker of extraordinary sound quality, the LS50 Meta follows the design concept of form following function through which it turns its back on the mere looks. The comprehensive design of the product was very much performance-driven, right from the accurately modeled curved front surface to the heavily-built ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌cabinet.

Four Various Colours

LS50 Meta is far more than just a practical speaker system, it actually revitalizes your surroundings like a sculptural piece. For this reason, we have four finishes available for you to choose from: Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, Mineral White, and Royal Blue Special ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Edition.
