Product Description

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ KEF R3 Meta Standmount Speakers entirely change the bookshelf speakers’ performance. By sharing the same drivers as the highest model of the range, R11 Meta, R3 Meta is a genuine three-way design.

KEF R11 Meta Floorstanding Speakers

The KEF R3 Meta Standmount Speakersfeatures a 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ and an impactful 6.5” hybrid aluminium bass driver that deliver performance that is so emotively exciting that it might be considered one of the new extremes of audio ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌reproduction.

Outstanding Sound Reproduction

The KEF R3 Meta Standmount Speakers is receiving all the benefits of technological advancements made for The Reference, the top-of-the-class series that has been continuously raising the bar for loudspeakers and sound production. The R Series, in turn, in addition to dedicating itself to systematic research and development. Fully utilizes any KEF acoustics technologies, most of which are complex, to perfect the acoustic performance that the general market needs.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MATTM)

The new R Series generation includes the patented metamaterial absorption technology (MATTM). The 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array was customised in this way. The innovations have more potent effects, achieving the best possible performance.

The synergy of advanced engineering and refined aesthetics. Making the R11 Meta an excellent choice for audiophiles who want the best audio reproduction from their systems.

12th Generation Uni-Q Driver Array

All​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ seven members of the R Series boast a custom 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT that produces an incredibly detailed performance. This​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ is a detailed recording of internal knowledge supported by research and a variety of experiments carried out with the help of sophisticated simulation and analysis ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌tools. There are many developments. All of them contribute to the exemplary performance of the R Series.

In​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ order to capitalize on the performance enhancements that MAT brings. The Uni-Q driver array underwent a full ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌redesign. This is why we designed a special conical waveguide connecting the tweeter dome to the new metamaterial absorber based on its depth. The new tweeter gap damper incorporates strategically two rings of porous material to effectively suppress the resonances and faults which dramatically improves detail and ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌clarity.

Articulate Audio Clarity

The KEF R3 Meta Standmount Speakers hardcore element is its magical MAT technology. Which eliminates noise by absorbing it through active engineering. Resulting in a pure and natural sound. In contrast to other variants. The Uni-Q driver array delivers a closer and more detailed sound stage from the central position. Thus, the listener can still savour the high quality and clarity of the hi-fi music.

Shadow​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Flare to Make Things Clearer

Shadow Flare is yet another instrument specially crafted for The Reference. It diminishes damaging cabinet diffraction so that the 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT may perform at their highest level. Shadow Flare is a thoroughly engineered surface that lengthens the waveguide impact of the Uni-Q driver arrangement.

In other words, the tweeter no longer directly sees the cabinet edges, producing a ‘shadow region’ in the areas with the greatest probability of diffraction. Thereby reducing the acoustic effect to an almost unnoticeable level.

This leads to higher clarity and the revelation of the tiniest details that make our experience of listening so amazing. The slight difference of a plucked string, the alterations in vibrato in a voice. All these get enhanced on the R ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Series.
