The World's First Speakers with Metamaterial
“KEF has taken an excellent speaker and made it even better with its innovative Metamaterial tech. The LS50 Meta are now the class leader at this level.” - October 2022, What Hi-Fi?
Metamaterial Absorption Technology
A truly revolutionary tool in the KEF acoustic armoury, Metamaterial Absorption Technology ( MAT™) is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing purer, more natural sound.
Every spot is the sweet spot
12th generation Uni-Q with MAT™
Using advanced simulation and analysis tools, our engineers have developed the 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT™. This new driver array delivers reduced colouration, less distortion and a sound that is more transparent and life-like than previously possible, all dispersed evenly throughout the room.
Enhancement from legendary LS50 Lineage
Great loudspeakers disappear, leaving just the music. LS50 Meta is such a loudspeaker, and enhancements over the legendary LS50 include Driver Performance Optimisation and patented off-set flexible port for the best acoustic performance and an incredible immersive sound.
Braced for action
LS50 Meta’s baffle is engineered from an injection-moulded Dough Moulding Compound (DMC), while inside the cabinet cross bracing and Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) combine to deaden internal vibrations. The result of such meticulous attention to detail is the lowest colouration of any speaker in its class.
Curved for performance
LS50 Meta’s low-diffraction, curved baffle is precision modelled around the Uni-Q driver array. Its smooth curved surfaces help radiate sound out across the baffle without any interference from hard edges, which cause diffraction. The result is cleaner, more precise sound.
Flexible port
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the port flare and profile of LS50 Meta’s patented off-set port is calculated to delay the onset of turbulence, and the flexible port walls prevent resonances from colouring the midrange. This leads to improved clarity, with exceptional depth and detail.

Friends from Overseas,
- we do ship internationally.

Due to recent changes in U.S. trade regulations, additional tariffs are being imposed on products manufactured in China and imported into the United States. As many of our audio products are made in China, orders shipped to U.S. addresses may be subject to an added tariff charge at checkout, reflected as a "U.S. Import Tariff Surcharge". Please note that this surcharge amount is determined by U.S. import policies and may vary significantly depending on product categories and any future policy adjustments. These charges are necessary to ensure compliance with U.S. customs requirements and to allow us to continue serving our U.S. customers reliably. We strongly encourage you to review the total cost at checkout before placing your order.
