KEF Reference 3 Meta
The floorstanding Reference 3 Meta crafts a sensational sound stage, offering an immersive experience for a wide range of listeners. At its heart lies the 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™, KEF’s latest technological breakthrough, placing you squarely at the heart of the performance.
The Benchmark of Benchmarks
Since 1973, The Reference has consistently defined the benchmark for loudspeaker design and sound reproduction. Pioneering the application of digital technologies to achieve the pinnacle of audio accuracy, every pair is meticulously matched within 0.5dB to the laboratory-maintained reference standard.
Always Innovating
From the very first Reference loudspeaker, KEF engineers have relentlessly pursued innovation, continually pushing the boundaries of what The Reference can achieve. Ground-breaking in its initial incarnation, each subsequent iteration has contributed significantly to the advancement of acoustic science.
Designed, Engineered and Handcrafted in the UK
Since 1961, we have been crafting remarkable, award-winning loudspeakers at our UK home in Maidstone, Kent. As our flagship HiFi speakers, The Reference continues to be designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Maidstone to this day.
