Benefits of KEF R5 Meta Compact Floorstanding Speaker

An icon born from The Reference

The R Series is a direct beneficiary of the technological innovations developed for The Reference, the class-leading series that continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Combining with bespoke technologies, the R Series delivers an exceptional acoustic performance. 

Metamaterial Absorption Technology

The revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology1 (MATTM) has been incorporated into the latest iteration of the R Series, and the 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array has been refined to maximise the impact of this technological advance and ensure the best possible performance. The result is an exceptional seven-model range of loudspeakers, engineered to deliver with exquisite detail and incredible insight. Whether your taste lies with traditional two-channel HiFi, multi-channel home theatre or both, the R Series reveals levels of detail that must be heard to be believed.

True bass definition

Bass is a vital element of performance, and the low-frequency drivers of R Series have been engineered with acute care and precision. They are built using a two-part structure, where a shallow concave aluminium skin sits atop a paper cone. This stiffness combined with the cone’s unique geometry reduces unwanted resonances and delivers the pistonic movement that makes these drivers time so well. The drivers’ magnet system creates a broad, uniform magnetic field, while the suspension reduces harmonic distortion for a clean, precise sound. The result is exceptionally deep and agile bass that reveals every last bit of detail and punch available in the deep. 

12th generation Uni-Q®

A bespoke 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT is found in all seven models of the R Series and delivers an incredibly detailed performance. It’s the result of decades of accumulated in-house knowledge and the application of cutting-edge simulation and analysis tools. The developments are many and all play a part in R Series’ exceptional performance. The Uni-Q driver array has been redesigned to maximise the performance improvements that MAT delivers. The conical waveguide that couples the tweeter dome to the new metamaterial absorber has been specially designed for the bespoke driver based on its depth. The re-engineered tweeter gap damper strategically places two rings of porous material to tame the resonances and imperfections effectively, thus greatly
improving detail and clarity.

Strength and versatility in numbers

The R Series comprises seven models, providing listeners with a great versatility when building their ideal HiFi system. Whether that’s a stereo or a home theatre set up, they can do so with the confidence that they will enjoy an immersive, realistic sound experience.

Stereo for music

A trio of floorstanding speakers including R11 Meta, R7 Meta and R5 Meta and a bookshelf speaker R3 Meta reproduce high-fidelity stereo sound for your favourite music irrespective of the dimensions of the listening space. Each of them will allow you to discover depth and detail in your music you never knew existed – from the scrape of a plectrum on guitar strings to the sense of emotion and atmosphere in a live performance.

Home theatre made versatile

The two centre speakers including R6 Meta and R2 Meta, which can also be used in LCR configuration, deliver brilliant dialogue clarity to the home theatre experience in different room sizes. Identically sized Uni-Q arrays are deployed on the centre speakers and all other models in the series. This creates a consistent sound character, therefore ensuring that the focus is entirely on the film and not the equipment around the room.

If you want to experience the glorious experience that is Dolby Atmos, then the R8 Meta surround speaker is an ideal addition to a surround system. It can be either wall-mounted or placed on top of another R Series loudspeaker, for sensationally immersive sound. With the addition of any of KEF’s class-leading subwoofers, the whole cinematic experience is felt, from the deepest impact to the softest whispers.

Microfibre grilles

The R Series is engineered to perform its best with or without grilles. The dedicated microfibre grilles are crafted from multiple layers of material and the edges are burnished for a suede-like feel. With 1801 precision-cut holes for each driver you experience fantastic performance even when the drivers are covered, which is great news if you feel the need to protect them. The magnetic fixings provide a secure and precise fit, in keeping with the clean styling of the R Series.
