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

Absorption of the MAT (Metamaterial Absorption Technology) is the essence of KEF LS50 Meta’s music-related revolution. 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.

Advanced simulation and analysis tools from KEF’s professionals were used to develop 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. Which is almost free from colouration, distortion, and transparency, previously impossible, and the sound is spread uniformly throughout the space.

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.
