General description<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The KEF R3 Meta is a three-way bookshelf speaker that excels in sound quality and design. With the 12th generation Uni-Q\u00ae driver array and Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT\u2122), this speaker delivers clear and natural sound. The hybrid aluminum bass driver provides tight and controlled bass. Thanks to the Uni-Q\u00ae design, the sound is evenly dispersed, resulting in a wider sweet spot. The R3 Meta is available in a variety of finishes, including high gloss black, high gloss white, walnut and a special indigo high gloss edition. With its compact size and versatility, the R3 Meta is suitable for both music and home theater applications. <\/span><\/div>\n
Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
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. <\/span><\/div>\n
Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
KEF was founded in 1961 in Maidstone, Kent, by former BBC ringmaster Raymond Cooke. The name is derived from Kent Engineering & Foundry, the site on which its first headquarters was located. In its early years, the company developed products using synthetic materials and mathematical models. KEF introduced the Reference concept in 1973, where each pair of systems was electronically matched. In the 1980s, KEF used digital technologies to optimize production. In 1988, the first computer-aided acoustic measurement system was used. Uni-Q driver technology was introduced in 1988 and has since been used in several models. KEF has had collaborations with outside designers, including Ross Lovegrove. In 2011, the Blade, the first model based on the single point source concept, was released. KEF has offices worldwide, including Hong Kong, Germany, France, Japan and the US. Its headquarters and acoustic research department are in Maidstone. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
