KEF Q50a Dolby Atmos Enabled Surround Speakers White

Dolby Atmos is more than surround sound. It is an audio processing technology capable of teleporting you from your living room into the world of your movies like never before. Other technologies simply map sounds to specific channels, but Dolby Atmos makes each sound an object. As the object moves around the scene, Dolby Atmos naturally moves sound along with it – even from above – creating an audio environment that puts you at the centre of the movie.

Designed to work seamlessly with the KEF Q Series range and other AV speaker systems, Q50a Dolby Atmos-Enabled Surround Speakers are upward firing speakers designed to be placed on top of front and rear satellites. Simply put them into position and wire them into a compatible A/V receiver or pre-processor. Sound has been expertly tuned by KEF acoustic engineers to bring an extraordinarily immersive, cinematic verticality of Dolby Atmos sound into your home without mounting overhead speakers, using precision ceiling reflection. Q50a is also easily mounted on the wall using dedicated keyhole fixings, creating a high-fidelity home surround sound experience that combines seamlessly with the Q Series speakers.

The use of a Damped Tweeter Loading Tube – a rubber, chisel shaped damper – terminates sound at the back of the speaker more gently. It keeps high frequencies sounding detailed and natural. At the heart of Q50a is the latest Q Series Uni-Q driver array. It features a lighter cone return, improved spider suspension, and a cone neck decoupler to create excellent dynamics with a supremely accurate, fast, and clean response.

Designed as a part of the Q Series family, Q50a’s visual design shares consistent elements with other Q Series speakers. Its fine satin matt finish, available in either black or white with matching driver colours, blends seamlessly into any contemporary or traditional interior. Once installed, watching a film at home will never feel the same again. The world around you is suddenly filled with three dimensions of sound, from the quiet flutters of a butterfly’s wings to the high-pitched pings of star ship lasers, and as these sounds move on screen, they move around you. Watching a movie isn’t for observers anymore. It’s for participants.
