KEF REFERENCE META
The Reference series encompasses two three-way floorstanding speakers, a three-way standmount speaker, and two three-way centre speakers that can be used as Left-Centre-Right speakers.

KEF REFERENCE CABINETS
The composition of The Reference sees all cabinets designed by using finite element analysis to determine the ideal shape, and bracing geometry to minimise secondary radiation from the sides. Constrained Layer Damping is applied to turn what little vibration is left into heat.

The cabinets are then finished in a high-gloss or detailed, pair-matched wood veneers to complement the front baffle designed to eliminate anomalies caused by diffraction. Five finishes are available, a combination of three cabinet finishes and five driver cone colours.


MIDRANGE HORN
A new ultra-low distortion midrange motor design lowers the total harmonic distortion in the midrange and reduces thermal compression, improving efficiency.

The contours of the dome within The Reference’s midrange horn and surround are all computer-optimised to ensure a perfectly smooth transition to the cabinet. KEF’s patented tangerine waveguide technology manages the airflow.

The Reference’s bass driver also benefits from a massive, vented magnet assembly, a large aluminium voice coil and a light and stiff alloy cone.


METAMATERIAL ABSORPTION TECHNOLOGY
Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) is a revolutionary tool in the KEF acoustic armoury because each of the intricate channels is designed to efficiently absorb 99% of unwanted sound.

A result of joint development with the Acoustic Metamaterials Group, using MAT has been said to break new ground in loudspeaker design. Metamaterials are specially developed structures that use existing materials in such a way that they exhibit new, desirable properties that are simply not found in naturally occurring substances.

THE REFERENCE FINISHES
Five finishes are available by blending three cabinet finishes with five driver cone colours: Satin Walnut/Silver, High-Gloss White/Blue, High-Gloss White Champagne, High-Gloss Black/Grey, High-Gloss Black/Copper

You can also add matching grilles to each speaker in the range. Prices vary dependent on speaker from £75 to £250.
