Description
KEF Reference 1 Meta
The Reference 1 Meta, the sole standmount speaker in KEF's Reference series, could be the only loudspeaker you'll ever need. This three-way design boasts KEF's 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ (Metamaterial Absorption Technology), delivering an expansive, high-performance sound far exceeding expectations for its compact size.
The Benchmark of Benchmarks
Since 1973, The Reference has consistently set the standard for loudspeaker performance and sound reproduction. Pioneering the use of digital technologies to achieve unparalleled audio accuracy, each pair is meticulously matched within 0.5dB to KEF's laboratory-maintained reference standard.
Continuous Innovation
From the very first Reference speaker, KEF engineers have relentlessly pursued innovation, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Each iteration has built upon its predecessor, contributing significantly to the world's understanding of acoustic science.
Designed, Engineered, and Handcrafted in the UK
Since 1961, KEF has been creating remarkable, award-winning loudspeakers at their home in Maidstone, Kent, UK. As their flagship HiFi speakers, The Reference continues to be designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Maidstone to this day.
