The AV receiver that puts sound quality first
As part of Onkyo’s premium RZ Series, the TX-RZ50 features advanced engineering and component quality. Individual circuits are isolated from one another, reducing interference and enhancing clarity. Signal paths are kept as short as possible and feature sophisticated grounding, helping to further reduce background noise. Top quality components are used throughout, ensuring the very best sound quality – whatever the source.
Dynamic Audio Amplification for thrilling sound
Featuring DAA (Dynamic Audio Amplification), the TX-RZ50 delivers effortlessly punchy sound. Combined with the High Current power supply and extra-large, customised capacitors, it means the TX-RZ50 produces a thrilling sound that keeps you fully immersed in the action.
THX Certification Select2 – your guarantee of cinema quality sound
THX Certification Select2 means that the TX-RZ50 meets the tough standards set by THX for high-volume, low-distortion sound. Awarded to only the finest AV receivers, the TXRZ50’s powerful and dynamic cinema sound keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Be surrounded by sound – with 9 channels and support for more
For a wide choice of speaker configurations, this premium Onkyo AVR has no fewer than 9 powered channels. Choose between 7.2.2 or 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos speaker configurations with two or four ceiling speakers. Alternatively, stick with 5.2.2 and power a second pair of speakers in another room or bi-amp your main pair of speakers. As your system grows, so the capability of this Onkyo grows with it.
Upgrade to 11-channel surround
Add an extra stereo power amp and the Onkyo becomes truly cinematic – with mighty 11-channel sound. This lets you configure four ceiling or Atmos-enabled speakers as well as full 7-channel surround sound, giving true 7.2.4 channel Atmos sound.
All the 3D sound formats you need
Whatever speaker configuration you decide upon, the TX-RZ50 has a surround format to suit. Compatible formats include IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X plus Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Neural:X for up-mixed audio. This wide range of options means you can adapt your surround sound speaker system from the simplest system with ‘virtual height’ speakers to full-blown 11.2 system that truly brings the cinema to your front room.
Acoustic room correction by DIRAC Live
Thanks to state-of-the-art digital room correction from DIRAC, the TX-RZ50 offers pro-level room optimisation. DIRAC live uses a USB microphone (not included) and dedicated PC software to take multiple readings around your room and feed the information back to the amplifier for a completely bespoke response (professional set-up recommended).
Klipsch Optimise Mode
Unique to Onkyo, the TX-RZ50 sounds even better when partnered with Klipsch Reference and Reference Premiere speakers. Collaboration between the two companies has resulted in the implementation of precise crossover vales being incorporated into the Onkyo. This means that you get optimised sound quality, at the touch of a button.
8K and 4K/120Hz compatible HDMI interface
With three HDMI inputs, the main output plus the Sub mode HDMI output all supporting 8K and 4K/120Hz, this is the ideal AVR for your 8K TV and the latest gaming devices. A further four HDMI (4K) sockets are fitted for older devices, with one handily positioned at the front. The TX-RZ50 also supports the latest copy protection standard, HDCP 2.3.
Three zone, multiroom flexibility
With a 5.2 channel cinema system in play, you can use the spare channels to add two additional powered zones. Zone 2 and Zone 3 can either be synced with the main signal for ‘party’ sound or play from separate sources – giving the TX-RZ50 true multiroom appeal. Passive outputs for Zone 2 and 3 are also available should you already have amplification or active speakers in place.
Stream it your way, with Apple AirPlay 2 and ‘Works with Sonos’
Much more than just an AV receiver, the TX-RZ50 is also a comprehensive music streamer. Apple AirPlay 2 is standard as is ‘Works with Sonos’. Integrated Amazon Music, Spotify (Premium account required for full features), TIDAL and Deezer are all available, too. There’s also Chromecast and DTS Play-Fi plus TuneIn for Internet radio and Bluetooth music streaming.
Works with Sonos
‘Works with Sonos’ certification means that this Onkyo seamlessly integrates with your existing Sonos system. Once connected to a compatible Sonos product (Sonos Port), you can group the receiver with other Sonos devices or use it independently. Working with Sonos means as soon as you start playing music from your Sonos app, the Onkyo switches on and automatically selects the correct input.
Voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri devices
For the latest in smart home tech, Onkyo have made the TX-RZ50 compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri devices. Simply connect your compatible device and then just ask Alexa or the Google Assistant to perform basic functions.

”KEF’s Q Concerto Meta are grown-up all-rounders that deliver a top-class performance for the money.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
A classic, reimagined
The original KEF Concerto began life right back in 1969. As a 3-way, larger bookshelf speaker, it was famed for its rich, full-bodied sound and ample bass response. Fast forward 45 years and the latest KEF Q Concerto Meta continues the tradition but, with nearly half a decade’s worth of evolution, is more insightful, more precise and simply more natural sounding than ever. It’s still a 3-way design and it’s still slightly larger than average, and when it comes to all-round ability, the Q Concerto Meta appeals just as widely as ever.
Hear the sound, just as it should be, with MAT
Moving with the times, the KEF Q Concerto Meta is packed with the latest sound enhancing technology. Developed in conjunction with Acoustic Metamaterials Group, the Q Concerto Meta makes use of an exciting technology called MAT (Metamaterial Absorption Technology). The revolutionary material absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter, for lower distortion and a much purer, more natural sound.
Legendary Uni-Q drive units deliver studio quality sound
KEF’s history includes making some of the most precise-sounding monitor speakers available. Used in recording studios around the world, KEF-branded speakers and other brands using KEF drive units are behind so many classic mixes. Now in its 12th generation, the Uni-Q driver array places the revised tweeter within the middle of the woofer, creating a more cohesive sound. The aluminium woofer is light and rigid – making it fast to respond and entirely faithful to the music playing.
Shadow Flare for enhanced top-end clarity
Derived from KEF’s top-end models, Shadow Flare is a further upgrade for the Q Concerto Meta. Shadow Flare is a finely engineered surface that extends the waveguide effect of the Uni-Q driver array. Minimising the acoustic impact of ‘stray’ soundwaves, it improves clarity and reproduction of delicate details. Subtle nuances, such as the delicate brushwork on cymbals or the intricate overtones of a piano, are clearer than ever with this technology.
Dedicated bass for full-bodied sound
Unusually for this size of speaker, the Q Concerto Meta uses a 3-way configuration, with separate mid-range and bass drivers. A separate mid-range unit benefits vocals, with a clearer, more articulate sound bringing the performance to live. It also means that the woofer concentrates simply on the bass, with the hybrid woofer producing a deeper and more intense bass response than you might expect from this size of speaker.
Choice of sleek satin finish
The KEF Q Concerto Meta features a minimalist design for timeless appeal. Supplied with magnetically attached, colour-matched grilles, the style is crisp and clean whether the grilles are on or off. For the best match for your décor, the speakers are available in Satin Black, Satin White and Walnut finishes.

Engineered to the highest standards, the KEF Q1 Meta speakers punch beyond their compact size.
The small speaker that makes a big impression
Compact in size but bursting with ability, the KEF Q1 Meta speakers are perfect for when you want speakers with musical talent without the bulk of larger cabinets. They’re ideal for stereo sound in smaller rooms, or as desktop monitors for close-up listening. As part of the expansive Q-series range, they also make ideal surround speakers within a fully matched Q-series home cinema speaker set.

Equipped with the ideal technology for a centre speaker
As part of the innovative Q-series, the KEF Q6 Meta is bursting with tech that suits a centre speaker to perfection. With a Uni-Q driver at its heart, it seamless blends the critical mid-range and top-end, making vocals sound full-bodied and crystal-clear. The MAT technology further refines the top-end response, making every whisper of dialogue easy to discern. With a wide range of matching Q-series speakers available, including on wall and up-firing speakers, it’s easy to build an integrated speaker system that excels with cinema sound.

Mighty bass power meets room-friendly style, with the KEF Kube 12 MIE.
Powerful subwoofer that’s ideal for larger rooms
The KEF Kube 12 MIE is the second largest in the Kube range and ideal for larger rooms. The 12 inch cone and larger cabinet help drop the bass right down to 22Hz, easily improving upon the vast majority of floorstanding speakers.
Music Integrity Engine® for sonic precision
When it comes to musical accuracy, precise control is critical. With KEF’s Music Integrity Engine®, you get to enjoy the benefit of a suite of proprietary DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms that tailor the sound to perfection. The finely-tuned processing ensures that every component works in perfect harmony, giving you greater bass depth, snappier timing and the least distortion possible.
iBX for powerful bass that you can feel
An integral part of the MIE system is KEF’s iBX (Intelligent Bass Extension). This helps to maximise the bass depth from any given cabinet size. The iBX algorithm creates an extended depth of bass that easily exceeds expectations for this size of sub. Backing this up is a powerful 300 watts, Class-D amplifier. This is enough to power the high quality 12" bass unit to high levels and low frequencies. With effortless bass on tap, the Kube 12 MIE is ideal for both movies and music.
Tailor the sound to suit
Despite its high power rating, the KEF Kube is about more than just firepower. The sealed cabinet not only offers excellent rigidity but also gives a tight, controlled bass that's never overblown. A 3-position DSP (EQ) control allows adjustment of the Kube's response to compensate for different room acoustics and personal preference. There's also a phase switch. This lets you reverse the phase, giving perfectly timed bass whether the sub is in front or behind you.
Effortlessly stylish
Featuring smooth lines, a wrap-around grille and gloss black top panel, the Kube 12 MIE is one subwoofer you’ll be happy to have on display.
