What we know about the measurement:

KEF Q6 Meta is a passive center that cost around 750 USD

  • Quality of the measurement data is medium.
  • Origin of the data is KEF.
  • Format of the data is .
  • -3dB (resp. -6db) point v.s. reference is at 60.7Hz (resp. 51.1Hz).
  • Reference level is normalised to 0.8dB 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 5.97 and would be 8.2 with a perfect subwoofer.
      • Details: NBD: ON 0.334, LW 0.268, SP 0.294, PIR 0.281; SM: SP0.967, PIR0.945; LFQ 1.2, LFX 47Hz
    • Tonality (Preference) Score is 6.84 with an EQ and would be 8.61 with a perfect subwoofer and the same EQ.
      • Details: NBD: ON 0.286, LW 0.218, SP 0.186, PIR 0.172; SM: SP0.964, PIR0.93; LFQ 1.2, LFX 37Hz
  • 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..
