One of the pillars of high fidelity audio, the KEF R2 Meta Centre Speaker, stands out as a defining factor for your Home Theatre system. This speaker belongs to the R Series of KEF. The best known products globally for their cutting edge technology and unmatched sound quality.
Its task is to establish a solid foundation with the required clarity and depth of richness of the KEF R2 and enhanced sound reproduction.
Designed to match any R Series floorstanding speakers, the R2 Meta boasts the 12thย generation Uni-Qยฎย driver array with MATโข and two 5.25โ hybrid aluminium bass drivers. It is compact enough to use in smaller rooms while capable of high-quality sound with even the most dynamic music and movies. This design is highly versatile and can be used in an LCR (Left-Centre-Right) configuration.
Creating a Soundstage
At the heart of the KEF R2 Meta Centre Speaker’s stellar performance is KEF’s innovative Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MATโข). MATโข. With all the intricate complexity it represents in its design, it operates like a maze and absorbs up to 99% of the noise. This blurs the signal directed to the driver’s back, thus permitting the driver to produce a purer and, hence, more natural sound.
Features & Benefits
- Advanced Meta Material Technology: The groundbreaking meta material absorption technology. Provides an unparalleled listening experience through sound transparency and immersion.
- Unique Cabinet Design: The patented offset flexible port is integrated into the speaker’s innovative cabinet design. Significantly enhances sound reproduction irrespective of room properties.
- 12th Generation Uni-Q Driver: The latest Uni-Q technology ensures highly accurate sound dispersion and a lifelike soundstage. Engulfing listeners in a three-dimensional sound environment.

Summary of the KEF R2 Meta Centre Speaker
The KEF R2 Meta Centre Speaker cones have a concave aluminium skin bonded to an underlying paper cone. This makes for a very rigid structure that resists deformation. As a result, the bass should be tighter, and resonances should be reduced.
A new magnet system in the motor also improves the evenness of the magnetic field. The result should be less colouration, a more accurate sound stage, and, of course, extra clarity and enhanced sound quality.
Rigid Cabinet Geometry
The KEF R2 Meta Centre Speaker cabinets use Constrained Layer Damping bracing. A flexible material is used to join the baffle elements. This material dissipates unwanted vibrations, and this bracing layout creates a very inert structure. Now, with Meta materials, the R series Meta range should be the best sounding R Centre.
