A KEF, que quem conhece admira e não troca, lançou no final de 2010 a nova Linha Q. O design é bem diferente da linha IQ anterior. Sem aquelas hipérboles na traseira, talvez tenha perdido o apelo arquitetônico que tanto atraia alguns designers de inteirores. Porém a qualidade de som evoluiu muito.
Como revenda e representante OFICIAL da marca KEF no Brasil, estive no Show-room da marca, em Moema, para demonstrar a caixa a alguns clientes. Imaginei qu a sonoridade fosse do mesmo nível que a linha anterior, tendo como base as minhas IQ70.
Ao ouvir as Q900, fiquei mais boqueaberto que aos meus clientes, pois a evolução da caixa foi tão grande que eu me pergunto se não havia a possibilidade de manter a linha IQ, pois a Q é uma caixa totalmente diferente a superior.
Convido a todos conhecer essa nova linha, basta me ligar.
Technology with soul
The brilliantly innovative engineering of the new Q Series surrounds you with a spacious sonic image of astonishing purity.A groundbreaking new Uni-Q array that conjures up a fluent, spacious and incredibly realistic 3D sound stage you can enjoy wherever you sit. A spectacular new high performance LF driver that delivers deeper, cleaner and more accurate bass. And a ‘total design’ approach, with obsessive attention to detail and the pleasures of ownership. These are the qualities that set the new Q Series apart.
All new Uni-Q array
Sweet, spacious and true, wherever you sit.Thanks to the latest computer modelling techniques, years of painstaking development and a dash of design genius, the new iteration of the Uni-Q concept packs a formidable complement of design innovations. Based on the state-of-the-art HF driver developed for Concept Blade, the new Q boasts a much larger (25mm/1 in. dome) tweeter for increased sensitivity and distortion-free power handling. It plays as loud as it plays true.
The vented tweeter design allows upper registers to be reproduced with startling clarity and smoothes the transition to midrange frequencies. The dome assembly is cleverly braced, pushing the first breakup beyond the audible range so that the sound you hear is flawlessly accurate. And to make sure everyone in the room enjoys the benefit, KEF’s distinctive ‘tangerine’ waveguide over the dome maximises Uni-Q’s exceptionally wide dispersion characteristics.
At lower frequencies, the superlight new aluminium cone of the LF/MF drive unit delivers noticeably faster, cleaner response. This is enhanced by KEF’s unique Z-flex surround, which allows the extreme excursions needed to deliver a truly visceral thump while also maintaining a seamlessly smooth surface to disperse the high frequencies from the tweeter.
The ensemble is a masterpiece of modern acoustic engineering. Vocals suddenly seem much more immediate – more open and natural. Surrounded by sound of such clarity, you start hearing things you never did before. Nuances in the way an instrument’s played. The sound of a distant cricket in an outside scene. A breath, even. And best of all, you don’t have to be in a little ‘sweet spot’ to experience it. With KEF Uni-Q, you can sit where you want and not miss a thing. All you hear is what the artist intended.
