12th Generation Uni-Q® Driver Array — point-source driver topology centers a 0.75-inch vented aluminum dome tweeter inside a 6.5-inch hybrid aluminum mid/bass driver for uniform sound dispersion.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Port — rear-firing flared bass reflex port reduces port turbulence and air friction to preserve low-frequency speed and midrange clarity.
Optimized Cabinet Cross-Bracing — internal cabinet structure minimizes panel vibrations, delivering a transparent soundstage free from cabinet-induced coloration.
Sleek Modern Aesthetic — finished in a warm Walnut wood grain cabinet designed to integrate seamlessly into modern stereo setups and dedicated listening rooms.
FAQ — Q3 Meta

Are floor stands required for the Q3 Meta?
While the Q3 Meta can be placed on sturdy furniture or bookshelves, mounting them on dedicated floor stands (such as KEF SQ1 Floor Stands) positions the Uni-Q driver array at ear height for optimal imaging and isolates cabinet resonance.
