If you are thinking of a home theater system you are thinking of the new Kef Q50a for Dolby Atmos systems.

These speakers, to be positioned above the main front and rear speakers, and on which all the novelty of the ATMOS rests, are elegant and truly performing. Thanks to Kef's Uni-Q, every detail, every sound will come to you as the director intended.

Dolby Atmos Kef Q50a speakers for Home Cinema

Kef proposes Q50a as Dolby Atmos and surround speakers ideal in projects and Home Cinema systems. Kef Q50a can be placed on the front speakers and on the rear speakers in order to create an enveloping and dynamic Home Cinema sound. The best gift a cinema enthusiast can give himself is to transform his old 5.1 home theater system into a modern surround sound project with dedicated speakers and compatible Dolby Atmos or Auro 3D processor. In all this, Kef's Q Series Dolby Atmos speakers inherit from the rest of the range a very high quality at a truly affordable price. A spacious, detailed acoustic result with great dynamics and a surprisingly large sound. Dolby Atmos Kef Q50a speakers owe their strength and uniqueness to the famous “concentric technology” of Uni-Q drivers. Thanks to this patented award-winning, here in its latest and most refined version, the sound image is precise and wide to fill the entire listening environment in a natural and realistic way. The result is a speaker recommended by the most authoritative reviewers around the world.

The Q Series speakers, from the small Q150 to the large Q950, have been named the Best HiFi Home Cinema System by the consortium of all European reviewers and journalists, winning the EISA award.

In particular, the winning surround system is equipped with the Kef Q50a as an Atmos speaker.

How is the Q50a assembled and used?

Kef Q50a can be placed in different places in the living room. In short, there is freedom in this sense. These Dolby Atmos speakers work by direct reflection, that is, they direct the sound towards the ceiling from which it will then be deliberately reflected towards the listener. They are usually placed on the front and rear speakers, thus creating the configuration defined ".4" in the initials of the Atmos Home Theater systems, but they can certainly be placed on shelves, cupboards or shelves in the room, according to the furniture.

A closer look at Q50a

The Dolby Atmos Q50a speakers offer a frequency response from 105 Hz to 18.5 KHz (+/- 3dB), which can be driven with a recommended power of 100 Watts, an impedance of 8 Ohms and a sensitivity of 86 dB . The maximum measured power is 106 dB at 1 meter distance. At the heart of the Q50a is the concentric 2-way Uni-Q driver, featuring a 5.25-inch aluminum woofer / mid range and a 1-inch vented aluminum dome tweeter. The crossover is set to 2.6 KHz. Kef Q50a is devoid of Bass reflex. Each module weighs 9.4 kg. The included magnetic grids incorporate an absorbent foam. These speakers are available in white or black finish. Installation and Cinema performance with Atmos Installation is very easy if you are already familiar with Atmos speakers and have set up the Atmos amplifier. If not, Dolby publishes installation guidelines and Kef includes clear instructions. The Maidstone brand recommends using the Q50a with the other Q Series models but, in fact, they are suitable for any existing system, even from other brands. The advantage of staying at home "Q" is given by the fact of being able to maintain a consistent tone throughout the system.

The Q50a can be placed on the front speakers as well as on the rear ones. Ideally you will need 4 Q5oa modules for a “complete” system. If the amplifier is set correctly you will get an excellent Atmos effect since the Kef Q50a is a very robust speaker that can sound "loud" within its frequency range.

The great thing about the Q50a is that it doesn't necessarily have to be used only in a reflected sound 3D immersive audio speaker setup. The double grooves on the "bottom" of the speaker allow it to be hung on the wall and serve as a "normal" speaker at a conventional height.

The use of 2 Q50a modules in 5.1.2 configuration is a good compromise if your lifestyle situation requires it (system in the living room, in an apartment building, where it is not possible to drill holes in the ceiling, for example) . But for the “full” viewing of films, it is suggested to equip yourself with at least four modules because with films with elaborate Atmos mixes (as in the film “Gravity”) there is a lot to hear… The right configuration is therefore at least 5.1. 4. The main thing to know about the performance of the Atmos Q50a-enabled speakers is that once the room correction does its part, they blend well with any speaker system you pair them with. If you plan to add Q50a speakers to an existing system, your main concerns will be whether they fit and whether it's an aesthetic match, not so much if they're up to the task sonically.

With high performance Kef Q50 ATMOS thanks to the KEF Uni-Q patent

The new version of the famous Uni-Q is equipped with the latest generation 25mm tweeter. The rear decompression chamber minimizes distortions by moving the first breakup well beyond the audible threshold. This translates into great clarity and linearity in the reproduction of even the highest treble at any volume. Thanks to this patent - which gives liveliness, speed, brilliance and space to the mid-high range - the use of the Q50a model as an Atmos speaker is highly recommended. The "Tangerine" front waveguide then completes the angular dispersion work. Thanks to this patent, it is not necessary to be exactly in the center of the two speakers to visualize a large and realistic soundstage. In addition, the wave guide, or the "rays" that depart from the center of the Tweeter, also act as protection from bad dogs and children! The tweeter is protected from crushing and breaking. With the addition of the damped and ventilated Tweeter loading tube, high frequency performance is greatly improved and a new low distortion inductor on the crossover provides cleaner, deeper bass.

Loud bass, spatial bursts, cinema as you like it

The mid-low frequencies of the Q50a are entrusted to a woofer with an aluminum cone. Fast, powerful, detailed and equipped with the Z-flex suspension (Kef patent), this mid-woofer has great excursion and at the same time does not interfere with the angular dispersion or hinder it, thus giving full-bodied, deep and precise bass. The Q50a was created in order to achieve realistic and natural reproduction in movies.

The choice of Q Series speakers in the Home Cinema system

In applications Atmos Q50a gives an edge to the whole system. You can create an ideal Home Theater System with Kef's Q Series. Every little detail of the audio signal is reproduced colorlessly by all models and moreover, by choosing the optimal configuration for your home, you will get an extraordinary sensation of "presence". You can place the Q50a on top of the Kef Q550, Q750 or Q950 floorstanding speakers. In fact, these three Q Series HiFi and Home Cinema speakers are characterized by the same medium-high driver and differ substantially in the bass "volume". The Kef Q550 are suitable for a room between 2o and 30 square meters, the Q750 are perfect for sounding rooms between 30 and 45 meters. The Kef Q950, the top of the series, are the speakers for those who do not want to compromise and love the full body of films and music, and are suitable for rooms over 40 square meters.

Complete the cinema set up with the right Sub!

Once you have chosen the key speakers for your Home Cinema sound system, all you have to do is combine one or more active subwoofers of the brand. For the Q Series, Kef recommends the Kube 8B, 10B or 12B models, with a power always proportional to the size of the room.
