General description<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The KEF Reference 3 Meta is a floor-standing speaker that delivers an impressive soundstage for a wide range of listeners. At the heart of the design is the 12th-generation Uni-Q\u00ae driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT\u2122). This technology absorbs unwanted sounds behind the driver, resulting in a cleaner and more natural sound. <\/span><\/div>\n
The Uni-Q\u00ae driver serves as a single source for both high and midrange frequencies, ensuring even sound distribution throughout the room. This means that, no matter where you are in the room, you can enjoy detailed and natural sound reproduction. <\/span><\/div>\n
The Reference 3 Meta\u2019s enclosure is carefully designed and handcrafted in the United Kingdom. This craftsmanship contributes to both the speaker\u2019s aesthetics and its acoustic performance. <\/span><\/div>\n
With its advanced technologies and high-quality construction, the KEF Reference 3 Meta delivers a listening experience that is both immersive and precise. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned audiophile or simply looking for a high-quality speaker, this speaker delivers impressive performance. <\/span><\/div>\n

Over the years, KEF has filed numerous patent applications and introduced innovative technologies, such as the Uni-Q cartridge, which combines coaxial speaker drivers.
