The KEF Q250c Centre Speaker is specifically designed to complement smaller Q Series models, ensuring a seamless and immersive audio experience in your home cinema.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionQ Series' Sweet Spot
At the core of the Q Series lies the legendary Uni-Q driver array, which positions the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the midrange and bass cone. This innovative design ensures the acoustic ideal of a single-point source, resulting in effortlessly sharp highs, robust midrange, and fast, clean bass with minimal distortion at any volume. Uni-Q is augmented by KEF's 'tangerine' waveguide over the tweeter, resulting in a more accurate three-dimensional sound, evenly dispersed throughout the room. Midrange clarity is further elevated by driver advancements that enable the removal of the DC blocking capacitor from the crossover, allowing for a more natural roll-off between drivers.
A Central Purpose
The Q250c is the smaller of the two centre speakers in the Q Series. Like its larger counterpart, the Q650c, the Q250c is essential for accurately reproducing a film director's intention within a home cinema system. Centre speakers emphasise the subtle nuances of mood and character in the human voice; hence their position in the front and centre of your system. The Q250c is the ideal centre channel accompaniment to the smaller bookshelf speakers in the Q Series, ensuring your system maintains a harmonious balance in terms of size and power capacity.
Design and Optional Accessories
KEF's Q Series has been updated with repositioned drivers, improved materials and components, and the elimination of potential distortion sources. They demonstrate longevity and timeless style in their design, as evidenced by the smooth Q Series finish featuring seamless white cabinetry without visible fittings or joins. The speakers are available in both this fine white satin finish, as well as black with colour-matched drivers. As an optional add-on, you can purchase the KEF Q250c Black Grille which magnetically attaches to your centre speaker for a more concealed appearance.
