Product Description
KEF Blade 2 Meta are the latest version of these stunning loudspeakers, newly updated with KEF's Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) and available in a range of stunning finishes.
For 2022, KEF have taken what they had learned in their concept series of Blade and Blade One (now Blade One Meta) along with the later Blade 2 and delivered a smaller scale Blade without compromise – we present the Blade Two Meta. An ideal choice for most sized rooms.
Improved Sound
Historically the Blade series has always represented the ultimate in in sound, meaning that this is where KEF are going and their designers are given a blank sheet of paper and told go for it. Blade Two Meta doesn’t just take that idea on board, it runs off into the sunset with it – thanks to an all-new Uni-Q driver array, Metamaterial absorption technology, an outstanding frequency response and more that take Blade Two Meta into a new age.
A new sound is achieved with an all-new line up of drivers in a 12th Generation Uni-Q array which delivers a HF driver that is 25mm (1”), made out of aluminium with MAT built into the tweeter to give the highest of highs a rich warm feeling that is pleasing on the ear. The mid-range is upgraded to with a 125mm (5”) aluminium coned unit that makes those marginal gains which give the mid-range a smooth as silk texture. Finally, the bass hasn’t been left untouched by KEF’s R&D team either with a 4 165 (6.5”) force cancelling aluminium cone drivers that punch the bass exactly how you would need it without being over kill.
All Meta
On the 2022 line up, KEF bring to the Blade (and Reference) range the next generation in distortion cancelling technology in Metamaterial. The Metamaterial absorbs 99% of distortion created from the back of the driver to such an extent you wouldn’t even know there was any distortion. This is achieved thanks to the intricate maze like design imprinted into the back of the unit ensuring that the sound you hear is what is intended and nothing else.
Impressive Frequencies
On the Blade One Meta, KEF has again ensured that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of perfection with the units giving the following response across the spectrum; 30Hz – 45kHz (Free Field) & 33Hz – 35kHz overall (+/-3dB). This spectrum coverage enables every single piece of audio to be precisely outputted without a single loss of quality.
Amazing Style
As a design driver speaker system the Blade Two Meta takes styling ques from the bigger Blade One Meta but makes everything a little more compact whilst not compromising on the sleek lines and look that make the Blade series a conversation starter in any room.
