KEF R2 Meta Centre Speaker
KEF R2 Meta Three-way Centre Channel Speaker
Designed to match any of the R Series speakers, the R2 Meta boasts the 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ and two 5.25” hybrid aluminium bass drivers. It is compact enough to use in smaller rooms while being capable of high-quality sound with even the most dynamic music and movies. This design is highly versatile and can also be used in an LCR (Left-Centre-Right) configuration.
Revolutionary MAT technology improves performance
The “Meta” in this speaker’s name comes from KEF’s innovative Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) — a highly complex, maze-like structure that absorbs unwanted sound waves coming from the rear of the tweeter. The resulting sound is clearer, purer, and more detailed.
12th Generation Uni-Q® driver array for better clarity and accuracy
KEF’s patented Uni-Q technology places the R2 Meta’s 1″ vented aluminium dome tweeter in the acoustic centre of the 5″ aluminium cone midrange driver. This arrangement allows the sound from the two drivers to reach our ears at the same time, resulting in more natural sound. Uni-Q technology is now in its 12th generation, and the engineers at KEF have designed this version to reduce distortion caused by several factors, as well as optimising it to take full advantage of the aforementioned MAT absorber.
Hybrid Aluminium Bass Woofers
Each of the two 5-1/4″ hybrid aluminium woofers is made up of a shallow aluminium skin atop a paper cone. This hybrid design allows very precise movement for punchy, agile bass.
