Description
A delight for the eye and ear. Very direct and spacious, with a solid controlled low frequency response. The largest from KEF’s reference line. Stands firm and delivers a balanced presentation. Every detail is given space, without leaving a forced feeling. The design exudes a thoughtful balance between precision and presence. The playback feels controlled and consistent, with a natural flow. Yummy! Whatever you’re listening to, it seems to come effortlessly. The set speaks with a distinct voice of its own. Welcome for a demonstration.
Trade show demo from importer. Trade show models have barely any running hours, or no running hours at all (not all products can be on at the same time in a trade show booth), are taken out of the box, displayed and then often sent directly to our shop. With the full official factory warranty!
This speaker system uses the latest acoustic technologies. It features a Uni-Q driver array with a 25 mm aluminum dome tweeter placed in the acoustic center of a 125 mm midrange driver. In addition, four 165 mm low-frequency drivers are present. The frequency range runs from 30 Hz to 45 kHz, with a sensitivity of 90 dB and an impedance of 4 ohms. The system can handle amplifiers with power ratings between 50 and 400 watts. The enclosure is carefully designed to minimize internal resonances and is finished with high-quality materials. At 1.35 meters tall and weighing 60 kg each, it is an impressive sight. The connections offer bi-wiring and bi-amping capabilities for optimal integration into various audio systems.
The KEF R3 Meta is designed according to KEF’s acoustic philosophy: clear, accurate sound with minimal distortion. The speaker features the latest Uni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), which absorbs unwanted resonances up to 99%. The cabinet is reinforced with Constrained Layer Damping for reduced vibration. Developed by KEF’s acoustics team led by Jack Oclee-Brown.
KEF was founded in 1961 by Raymond Cooke in Maidstone, Kent, United Kingdom. The name derives from Kent Engineering & Foundry, where the original workshop was located on the site of Kent Engineering’s steel construction plant. Raymond Cooke was a former BBC audio engineer. From the beginning, the company used synthetic materials and made measurements under controlled conditions. In 1973, a special acoustic laboratory was opened for technical developments. In 1988 KEF developed the Uni-Q driver, in which the treble and midrange speakers are placed together in one axis. Since 2005, it has been headquartered in East Sussex, Great Britain. Over the years, the brand has focused on construction of loudspeakers, including floorstanding models, bookshelf models and flush-mount speakers, as well as portable playback products.
