Designed around the Uni-Q 12th Generation with Metamaterial Absorption Technology driver array, this solid, compact loudspeaker is capable of delivering detailed sound anywhere in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise Imaging and Wide Soundstage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved Baffle Design to Reduce Sound Distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigid Cabinet Construction Minimizes Unwanted Resonance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetamaterial Absorption Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA truly revolutionary tool in the KEF acoustic armory, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e12th Generation Uni-Q with MAT™\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing advanced simulation and analysis tools, our engineers have developed the 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT™. This new driver array delivers reduced coloration, less distortion and a sound that is more transparent and life-like than previously possible, all dispersed evenly throughout the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEnhancement from Legendary LS50 Lineage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat loudspeakers disappear, leaving just the music. LS50 Meta is such a loudspeaker, and enhancements over the legendary LS50 include Driver Performance Optimization and patented off-set flexible port for the best acoustic performance and an incredible immersive sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurved for Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLS50 Meta’s low-diffraction, curved baffle is precision modelled around the Uni-Q driver array. Its smooth curved surfaces help radiate sound out across the baffle without any interference from hard edges, which cause diffraction. The result is cleaner, more precise sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBraced for Action\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLS50 Meta’s baffle is engineered from an injection-molded Dough Molding Compound (DMC), while inside the cabinet cross bracing and Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) combine to deaden internal vibrations. The result of such meticulous attention to detail is the lowest coloration of any speaker in its class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible Port\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing 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 coloring the midrange. This leads to improved clarity, with exceptional depth and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAttention to Every Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery aspect of LS50 Meta has been considered for acoustic benefits and from a design perspective. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLS50 Meta may look sensational, but as a high-performance loudspeaker every aspect of its design is a case of form following function. From the precision modelled curved baffle to the solid, reinforced cabinet, every inch of LS50 Meta has been designed to perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","vendor":"KEF","product_type":"Bookshelf
