What we know about the measurement:

KEF Q7 Meta is a passive floorstanders that cost around 1600 USD for a pair.

  • Quality of the measurement data is medium.
  • Origin of the data is KEF.
  • Format of the data is .
  • Sensitivity: 86.1dB (avg. 100Hz-1kHz for 2.83V measured at 1m).
  • -3dB (resp. -6db) point v.s. reference is at 41.5Hz (resp. 36.1Hz).
  • Reference level is normalised to 0.5dB computed over the frequency range [300.0Hz, 5000.0Hz].
  • Frequency deviation is 2.1dB over the same frequency range.
  • Tonality (Preference) Score
    • Tonality (Preference) Score is 6.83 and would be 8.34 with a perfect subwoofer.
      • Details: NBD: ON 0.287, LW 0.284, SP 0.306, PIR 0.283; SM: SP0.974, PIR0.958; LFQ 0.95, LFX 32Hz
    • Tonality (Preference) Score is 7.44 with an EQ and would be 8.76 with a perfect subwoofer and the same EQ.
      • Details: NBD: ON 0.219, LW 0.207, SP 0.234, PIR 0.186; SM: SP0.966, PIR0.942; LFQ 0.95, LFX 29Hz
  • Note: the off-axis average curves are truncated at 200Hz as this is close to the LF cut-off limit of our anechoic chamber. The on-axis LF response has been compensated using ground plane measurements carried out in free-field and is therefore valid only for that singular curve..
