Description

The KEF Reference 1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers are small but have a tremendous acoustical performance, like big floor standers. They are inimitable and the most significant part of modern KEF as a brand that tries to reach acoustic perfection. The design is the outcome of the latest generation of technology and the KEF ‘story’ of the famous series. Now, it is improved with the metamaterial absorption technology (MAT).

Clarity and Depth

The Reference 1 Meta is much more than a pair of speakers. These are multi elemental drivers that generate an entirely captivating soundstage and very precise imaging. These drivers have leading-edge technology and are highly developed. As a result, they offer the Reference 1 Meta robust clarity and depth. As well as an entirely new listening experience to their favourite music.

Sound Clarity

The KEF Reference 1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers represent the basis of MAT technology. The rear part of the tweeter is manufactured with a very intricate maze-like labyrinth structure. This perfectly absorbs 99% of the noise generation (rear distortion) from the rear of the tweeter. Consequently, this eliminates any acoustic distortion that leads to the development of pure and natural sounds.

The KEF Reference 1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers provide incredible clarity and enhanced sound quality.

Uni-Q Driver

The KEF Reference 1 Meta Speakers utilize the Uni-Q driver configuration of KEF’s sound philosophy. This configuration allows the tweeter to be placed in the centre of these speakers in a solution that is further connected to other speakers.

To send out detailed and accurate audio with enhanced clarity and excellent sound reproduction. The listener enjoys the pure representation of each piece as the musician had intended, unaffected by the colouration of the room’s poorness and dead spots.
