First introduced in 1991, the multiple award-winning Q Series has long delighted music lovers and audiophiles with outstanding sound quality and innovative design. The Q Series, now in its 8th iteration, brings high-resolution sound with more depth and more clarity.

"Sit Anywhere" With Uni-Q

At the heart of the evolved Q Series is the Uni-Q driver array. KEF's signature innovation places the tweeter in the acoustic center of the midrange cone, bringing the acoustic ideal of a single point source closer than ever to realization. The result is a more detailed, more accurate three-dimensional sound image, which is dispersed more evenly throughout the room than is possible with a conventional speaker. Uni-Q's ultra-wide dispersion is further enhanced by KEF's 'tangerine' waveguide over the tweeter dome.

Uni-Q Sound Taken To The Next Level

To optimize the resolution and purity of the Q Series speakers, the Uni-Q driver has been repositioned to the center of the cabinet to reduce unwanted internal resonance and adds refinement to their sonic clarity and detail. With the addition of the Damped tweeter loading tube providing a gentle termination of sound produced from the back of the tweeter, lower treble performance is improved dramatically, and a new low-distortion inductor on the crossover provides cleaner bass response.

Redesigned Bass Drivers

The Low-frequency (LF) drivers now have a larger roll surround, along with a new spider suspension to produce cleaner bass at high volumes. A new cone structure improves midrange clarity, and an enhanced Auxiliary Bass Radiators (ABRs) with a new surround and rear suspension delivers better controlled and more impressive bass.

New Cabinet Design

In the newest line of Q Series Floorstanders, the Uni-Q driver has been placed in a sealed box within the cabinet. The closed-box midrange cabinet design reduces the load on the Uni-Q midrange cone, increasing clarity and detail while delivering cleaner, punchier bass. Midrange clarity is also enhanced through improvements to the mid-bass driver that allowed the DC blocking capacitor to be eliminated. Its removal also creates a more natural bass roll-off between the drivers.
