# Metamaterial Absorption Speaker Series KEF Introduces its Release of the Q Series Speakers By Amy Duong | Published 2024-10-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-series-speaker References: [poltronafrau](https://www.poltronafrau.com/ww/en/products/archibald-armchair.html) & [us.kef](https://us.kef.com/collections/q-series)  [KEF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kef-r-series) is a brand recognized for its premium speakers with quality sound to enhance any space visually and audibly -- the new [Q series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-series) speakers live up to that notion as well. The brand brings its progressive MAT, which stands for Metamaterial Absorption Technology to be more accessible through its reasonable pricing. Notably, this is not a new integration for the Q series as the company launched the technology last year as a part of the R Series Meta collection. Now, the new Q Series is developed with the MAT starting at $600 for a pair of speakers -- this can go up to $2,200.
