The KEF The Reference Meta marks an update to the series with a powerful array of 12th generation Uni-Q drivers incorporating MAT technology.
The Reference Meta speakers embody the highest quality standards of KEF, reflected in the series name which translates to "reference" in English. The flagship series represents a perfect harmony of substance and style, showcasing self-sufficiency and distinctive individuality.
The KEF The Reference serves as a model to emulate in every aspect, from its aesthetics and handcrafted quality to its acoustic performance and innovative technologies.
The series comprises five models (all 3-way): floor-standing Reference 5 Meta and Reference 3 Meta, bookshelf Reference 1 Meta, as well as two center channel models, Reference 4 Meta and Reference 2, which can be used as front LCR speakers.
The The Reference speaker systems are designed for serious audiophiles seeking the ultimate enjoyment in music and movie listening. With realistic and immersive sound, impressive dynamics, and revealing details, listeners can experience a new level of audio fidelity whether through a traditional stereo setup or a multi-channel home theater system.
The sound of The Reference Meta speakers is transparent, realistic, powerful, and dynamic with clean, rich, and well-articulated bass.
The KEF Uni-Q module ensures clean and precise sound reproduction with a wide dispersion pattern, delivering uncolored sound.
The Uni-Q driver with MAT technology is specifically engineered to achieve pristine characteristics expected from a flagship KEF speaker system. It consistently produces pleasant, clear, and lyrical high frequencies regardless of volume levels. The new design of the midrange driver's magnetic system with ultra-low distortion reduces non-linear distortion (THD) in the mid-frequency range, minimizing thermocompression and improving efficiency.
A new addition to the design of The Reference Meta speakers is the use of absorbing metamaterial effectively eliminating 99% of unwanted sounds. MAT technology is truly revolutionary, harnessing the properties not found in natural substances due to its complex structure.
With bass of benchmark quality, the 165mm (6.5-inch) low-frequency driver of the Reference model complements the new array of 12th generation Uni-Q® drivers perfectly. Meticulous engineering and attention to detail allow the bass to blend seamlessly with flawless midrange and high frequencies.
The Reference's woofer also benefits from a massive magnetic system, a large aluminum voice coil, and a very light but rigid aluminum diaphragm. These technologies deliver exceptional sound volume, dynamics, and power.
Reference speakers are versatile in placement and easily adapt to your listening area using KEF's innovative Flexible Port Technology (adjustable ported bass reflex port), reducing resonances inside the port. The package includes two port options, allowing users to adjust the sound according to room size. Additionally, the flare and shape of each port are calculated using computational hydrodynamics to avoid turbulence and noise that color the sound.
All The Reference series cabinets are developed using finite element analysis to determine the ideal shape and position of braces, minimizing secondary radiation from side walls. Constrained layer damping is applied to convert remaining vibrations into heat.
Package includes:
- Speaker system: 2 units
- Manual
