KEF Q8 Meta speakers
Passive speakers for a surround sound home cinema with Dolby Atmos support
KEF Q8 Meta are 2-way Hi-Fi speakers designed for surround sound and Dolby Atmos, allowing you to easily expand your home cinema without complex installation. Using the integrated mount, you can fix the speakers to the wall and use them as surround or rear speakers, or place them on top of another speaker to create Dolby Atmos height effects by reflecting sound off the ceiling. A 12th-generation 5.25" Uni-Q driver array with a 25mm aluminium dome tweeter delivers detailed, natural and evenly dispersed sound. The KEF Q8 Meta speakers also feature MAT technology, which absorbs up to 99% of the unwanted sound radiating from the rear of the tweeter, resulting in greater clarity and less distortion. A precision-tuned crossover, developed from over 1000 anechoic chamber measurements, ensures accurate signal distribution between the drivers for an optimal final performance. KEF Q8 Meta offers a frequency range of 96Hz to 20kHz, a sensitivity of 86dB, a maximum acoustic output of 109dB, and is suitable for amplifiers with a power output of 10 to 150W. By combining them with other Q Series speakers and KEF subwoofers, you can easily create a surround sound home cinema tailored to your room size and requirements, while the colour-matched magnetic grille protects the drivers and maintains the clean look of the entire setup.

KEF Q8 Meta delivers clean sound without unwanted resonance
The KEF Q8 Meta speakers use advanced Metamaterial Absorption Technology, which absorbs up to 99% of the unwanted sound radiating from the rear of the tweeter. The specially designed structure acts as an acoustic labyrinth where individual channels absorb unwanted frequencies, limiting their negative impact on the final performance. The speakers deliver a cleaner, more natural sound with more accurate detail reproduction and lower distortion.
Speaker with a Uni-Q driver for a more impressive surround sound
KEF Q8 Meta uses a 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, which places a 25mm tweeter in the acoustic centre of the 5.25" mid-bass driver, acting as a single point source of sound. This design enables a more even dispersion of sound into the space, creating a wide, cohesive soundstage. Thanks to Uni-Q technology, you can enjoy a clean, detailed performance not only in the ideal listening position but also in other spots around the room.
Flexible Dolby Atmos speaker for your home cinema
By combining the KEF Q8 Meta with other Q Series speakers and KEF subwoofers, you can create a surround sound setup tailored to your room size and requirements. The versatile design allows you to mount the speakers on the wall for use as surround or rear channels, or place one on top of another speaker to create Dolby Atmos height effects by reflecting sound off the ceiling. With the KEF Q8 Meta, you can easily build a home cinema with impressive surround sound.
Precision-tuned crossover for optimal sound
KEF Q8 Meta speakers feature a precisely engineered crossover, developed from over 1000 measurements in an anechoic chamber. The crossover ensures accurate distribution of the audio signal between the individual drivers, so each one operates within its optimal frequency range. Thanks to this careful tuning, the speaker offers a balanced and precise sound with a natural blend across the different frequency bands.
Magnetic grille with an elegant design
The colour-matched magnetic grille protects the drivers from dust and accidental damage while maintaining the elegant appearance of the entire setup. Thanks to its magnetic attachment, you can easily attach or remove the grille without any tools, customising the look of your KEF Q8 Meta speakers to suit your preferences.
System type
An active speaker is one that has a built-in amplifier, so you just need to connect it to a sound source, either wired or wirelessly, to listen.Passive speakers are more commonly referred to as speaker systems. They are designed for high-quality, loud, and dynamic listening in the comfort of your home and are not suitable for frequent moving. The main advantage of passive speakers is the ability to connect a variety of sources via a separate amplifier.
Number of channels
The number of channels in speaker systems and home cinemas indicates the number of independent audio signals (speakers) and subwoofers, most often in the X.Y format (e.g., 2.0, 5.1). It specifies how many audio tracks are reproduced simultaneously, which determines the surround sound experience and bass depth of the system, from basic stereo sound (2.0) to surround sound (5.1 and above).Specifications
