KEF Reference 3 Meta Speakers

The new floorstanding KEF Reference 3 Meta is capable of delivering a sensational sound stage for a wide range of listeners. At its heart sits the 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™, the latest technological development from KEF, Metamaterial Absorption Technology.  MAT™ is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing purer, more natural sound.

KEF's Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™)

KEF's12th generation Uni-Q^® with MAT™

Refined through iterations, Uni-Q^® driver array for The Reference is the 12th generation Uni-Q^® with MAT™. Uni-Q^® acts as a single point source to disperse sound more evenly throughout the room. The result is the elimination of the limited ‘sweet spot’, therefore allowing everybody sitting at different spots in the room to experience and enjoy the same natural, detailed sound.

Since 1973, The Reference has continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Pioneering the use of digital technologies to achieve the highest audio accuracy, every pair can be matched within 0.5dB to the laboratory-maintained reference standard.
