Form follows function with the rear panel mirroring the curved front baffle and the port exit and speaker terminals recessed to preserve the elegance and aesthetics of this high-performance loudspeaker. Innovative Design: At 30cm tall, the LS50 Meta is designed with a substantially reinforced cabinet with performance and acoustic benefits.Winner of 'What HiFi? Awards 2020 - Product Of The Year. Outstanding Sound: Boasting a pristine sound, perfectly rendered layers of instruments you can lose yourself in, producing music so clear it’s as though the artist is there with you.But while LS50 is a great speaker, LS50 Meta and the technological advances it boasts offer a truly dramatic improvement in sound quality. Owners of the award-winning LS50 may find themselves asking what’s new? After all, LS50 Meta certainly shares a likeness with the original. From the precision modelled curved baffle to the solid, reinforced cabinet, every inch of LS50 Meta has been designed to perform.

LS50 Meta may look sensational, but as a high-performance loudspeaker every aspect of its design is a case of form following function. KEF LS50 Meta Loudspeakers – Designed for performance The low-diffraction curved front baffle is subtly mirrored by the gently radiused rear panel, where both the port exit and speaker terminals have been elegantly recessed and softened visually. This leads to improved clarity, with exceptional depth and detail.Įvery aspect of LS50 Meta has been considered for acoustic benefits and from a design perspective. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the port flare and profile of LS50 Meta’s patented off-set port is calculated to delay the onset of turbulence, and the flexible port walls prevent resonances from colouring the midrange. The result of such meticulous attention to detail is the lowest colouration of any speaker in its class. LS50 Meta’s baffle is engineered from an injection-moulded Dough Moulding Compound (DMC), while inside the cabinet cross bracing and Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) combine to deaden internal vibrations.

The result is cleaner, more precise sound. Its smooth curved surfaces help radiate sound out across the baffle without any interference from hard edges, which cause diffraction.
#Meta speakers driver
LS50 Meta’s low-diffraction, curved baffle is precision modelled around the Uni-Q driver array. KEF LS50 Meta Loudspeakers – Curved for performance LS50 Meta is such a loudspeaker, and enhancements over the legendary LS50 include Driver Performance Optimisation and patented off-set flexible port for the best acoustic performance and an incredible immersive sound. Great loudspeakers disappear, leaving just the music. This new driver array delivers reduced colouration, less distortion and a sound that is more transparent and life-like than previously possible, all dispersed evenly throughout the room. Using advanced simulation and analysis tools, our engineers have developed the 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT. Dimensions: 302 x 200 x 280.5 mm (11.9 x 7.9 x 11.0 in.)Ī truly revolutionary tool in the KEF acoustic armoury, Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing purer, more natural sound.Amplifier power (Recommended): 40-100 W.Frequency response (☓DB): 79 Hz – 28 kHz.Typical in-room Bass response (-6DB): 26 Hz.
