    Studio-Level Clarity in a Compact Standmount

    The KEF R3 Meta is a high-performance three-way standmount speaker, engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality in a smaller footprint. It features KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), and a 165 mm hybrid aluminium bass driver. Designed to deliver precise detail and depth with low distortion, the R3 Meta brings Reference-level performance to Somerset homes and studios.

    Key Features

    • 12th‑Gen Uni‑Q Driver Array with MAT: Combines tweeter and midrange into a single acoustic source. MAT absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the driver for pure, uncoloured treble and wide dispersion.

    • 6.5″ Hybrid Aluminium Bass Driver: Delivers tight, deep bass with excellent control, extending down to 38 Hz in-room.

    • Three-Way Bass-Reflex Design: Allows precise frequency division between drivers, ensuring seamless transitions and high fidelity across the entire spectrum.

    • Bi-Wire/Bi-Amp Terminal Knobs: Offers flexible system tuning with support for both single-wire and bi-wire amplifier configurations.

    • Precision Cabinet Design: Internally braced and engineered to reduce diffraction and unwanted resonance for clear, dynamic performance.

    Benefits

    • Immersive Imaging Across the Room: The Uni‑Q driver provides exceptional sound dispersion, so your sweet spot is wider—ideal for shared Somerset listening spaces.

    • Full, Natural Bass Without Bulk: Ideal for those wanting low-end impact without large floorstanding cabinets.

    • Premium Build, Stunning Finishes: Available in Gloss Black, Gloss White, or Walnut, the KEF R3 Meta offers timeless elegance and performance in equal measure.

    • Perfect for Audiophile Systems: Whether part of a two-channel setup or the front end of a home cinema, these speakers deliver with precision and balance.

    Ideal For

    • Audiophiles in Somerset seeking exceptional clarity and detail from a compact loudspeaker.

    • Two-channel music systems or high-fidelity home cinema fronts.

    • Listeners wanting Reference-grade technology without large speaker enclosures.

  • KEF

    KEF is a proud pioneer of excellence in sound.
    Since 1961, from KEF UK home, they have created remarkable award winning speakers. From their ground-breaking Uni-Q technology to their bar-setting LS50 Wireless, KEF exists to fill rooms with music as it was made to be heard, to move souls with truly authentic soundscapes.

    Listen and believe

    KEF’s mission is to deliver sound with as little intervention as possible; from treble to bass, and everything in between. Listeners should be able to close their eyes and immerse themselves in the sound so deeply that they are transported, in their minds, to the source. We believe that the best sound is natural sound – and that access to it is a right, not a privilege.
    Experience is everything, and that’s no overstatement. Combining our obsessions with acoustic authenticity and innovative engineering, we’d like to think that KEF products speak for themselves.
