NA UPIT!
The Q550 is the smallest floorstander in the Q Series line. Featuring KEF's signature Uni-Q driver array paired with a 130mm (5.25 inch) aluminium bass driver and two matching ABRs, the Q550 delivers a phenomenal audiophile performance with clarity, scale, and controlled bass. Great for large or small rooms the Q550 is available in Satin Black or Satin White finishes.
"Sit anywhere" Uni-Q Sound
At the heart of the evolved Q Series is the Uni-Q driver array. KEF's signature innovation places the tweeter in the acoustic center of the midrange cone, bringing the acoustic ideal of a single point source closer than ever to realization. The result is a more detailed, more accurate three-dimensional sound image, which is dispersed more evenly throughout the room than is possible with a conventional speaker. Uni-Q's ultra-wide dispersion is further enhanced by KEF's 'tangerine' waveguide over the tweeter dome.
Uni-Q sound taken to the next level
To optimize the resolution and purity of the Q Series bookshelf speakers, the Uni-Q driver has been repositioned to the center of the cabinet to reduce unwanted internal resonance and adds refinement to their sonic clarity and detail. With the addition of the Damped tweeter loading tube providing a gentle termination of sound produced from the back of the tweeter, lower treble performance is improved dramatically and a new low-distortion inductor on the crossover provides cleaner bass response.
CFD Designed Port
Featuring a Computational Fluid Dyanmics (CFD) port design with the port repositioned to the rear of the speaker, clarity is improved by reducing the audibility of the midrange leakage through the port. The geometry of the ports have been tuned to minimize turbelence at higher levels resulting in a reduction in port noise and less LF compression.
