- Page 2 Acoustic intelligence - that’s the best way to describe what KEF engineers have applied to create a new range worthy of the award-winning Q Series it replaces. Hence the name: iQ. From the second you spot the soft sheen of titanium on the main driver cones, you know you’re in for something special.
- Page 3 Acoustic intelligence You don’t have to be a genius to understand why Q Series speakers sound so good. After all, they incorporate the Uni-Q technology originally designed for one of the world’s finest speaker ranges, KEF’s legendary Reference Series. The Uni-Q concept is based on using aerospace materials to make the tweeter small enough to place at the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone.

The design was driven by functional considerations rather than aesthetics. Curved enclosures minimise distortion from the internal acoustic reflections generated by parallel straight surfaces - but because they’re complicated to make, the benefit is usually reserved for the most expensive audiophile speakers.

For even fuller presentation where the available space nevertheless dictates a bookshelf speaker, iQ3 takes all the performance advantages of the iQ1 a step further.
