What is the Uni-Q driver array in the KEF LS50 Meta?

The Uni-Q design places the tweeter directly in the acoustic center of the midrange cone. This configuration creates a single point source for the audio, resulting in incredibly precise stereo imaging and off-axis consistency.

Do the KEF LS50 Meta speakers need a separate amplifier?

Yes, the LS50 Meta are passive bookshelf speakers and require an external stereo amplifier or AV receiver to function. They are distinct from the older KEF LS50 Wireless, which feature built-in active amplification.
