iQ30

The iQ30 is an incredibly versatile music or home entertainment speaker with a seductive lightness of touch. With the same curved cabinet design minimising internal reflections, it has a lyricism and depth not normally associated with bookshelf speakers. It delivers an excellent dynamic expression with a bass response that is deep and expansive.

The latest generation 165mm (6.5in.) Uni-Q® array and new ‘tangerine’ waveguide gives a dispersion that is characteristically consistent, so you enjoy the same extraordinary illusion of presence wherever you sit. It’s like re-experiencing your favourite tracks or movies for the very first time.  As easy to position as they are to drive, the new iQ bookshelf models are magnetically shielded like the rest of the range.

Aluminium dome tweeter with ‘tangerine’ waveguide

The unique ‘tangerine’ waveguide delivers a smoother, clearer high frequency response with an even wider dispersion as well as providing an excellent protection from straying fingers.

Uni-Q®

KEF’s patented Uni-Q driver configuration is what makes the Q Series sound noticeably better than conventional speakers in normal rooms.

The new Uni-Q array in the iQ has been further refined, with a sophisticated new 19mm (0.75in.) elliptical dome tweeter, improved acoustic geometry and ‘tangerine’ waveguide for even more realistic vocals and even smoother, louder and clearer high frequency response.

Enclosures

Inspired by the Reference Series the fully curved enclosures of the iconic Q Series minimise distortion by eliminating internal standing waves. Laminated MDF construction and internal bracing make the cabinets acoustically inert and reduce cabinet colouration. A new internal labyrinth damping system in the floorstanding models eliminate colouration effects from vertical standing waves.

LF Drivers

The new Q Series feature the latest lightweight dual composite LF cones with tall profile rubber surrounds for longer cone throw resulting in increased LF extension and greater power handling. Rigid die-cast aluminium chassis house ultra-low distortion motors incorporating Faraday rings to iron out harmonic distortion.
