Woodbridge, NJ 25th September, 2020 – Audio Manufacturer KEF is introducing the world’s first loudspeakers to use the revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) – the LS50 Meta. Recognised as a modern icon of design, the LS50 has been remastered to incorporate this ground-breaking technology and deliver an unprecedented purity of sound.

In a joint development initiative with the Acoustic Metamaterials Group, KEF has harnessed MAT by creating a synthetic material in the form of a complex maze-like structure that has the super capacity to absorb 99% of the unwanted sound radiating from the rear of the driver, reducing distortion and enabling the prevention of audio distraction.  Other traditional approaches have only allowed around 60% absorption.

Continuing the work started with the KEF R Series, the LS50 Meta bookshelf speaker also features a specially designed 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT, with new and enhanced features. These improvements include a new cone neck decoupler and motor system, which disperse sound evenly around the room.  Other enhancements from the original LS50 include an off-set flexible bass port, a low diffraction curved baffle, and rigid cross bracing with constrained layer damping, all of which achieve exceptional depth, detail and the lowest sound distortion of any speaker in its class. 

KEF’s expert design team have thoughtfully considered every detail of the LS50 Meta to ensure it complements and blends with the listeners’ home. From the optimised cabinet size, the elegantly curved front and improved back panel with recessed port and speaker terminals, to the versatile matte colourways that match the bespoke KEF S2 Floor Stand. Every detail is designed with performance in mind.

The LS50 Meta retails for $1,499/pair and is available in 4 matte finishes; Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, Mineral White as well as a Royal Blue Special Edition. The bespoke S2 Floor Stands will be available in the same color options and retails for $449/pair.  Both products are now available at Woodbridge Stereo.
