UNI-Q® Driver Technology

KEF’s patented Uni-Q driver technology places the tweeter precisely at the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, so both act together as a single source. Because Uni-Q disperses sound widely and evenly over a large area, KEF’s architectural speakers deliver effortlessly natural sound with minimal distortion to every person in the room.
