help KEF R3 Meta FAQ
What is the Metamaterial Absorption Technology used in the KEF R3 Meta?
Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) is a highly complex maze-like structure built into the back of the tweeter that absorbs 99% of unwanted sound waves. This eliminates distortion and provides a significantly purer, more natural treble performance.
What type of drivers do the KEF R3 Meta bookshelf speakers use?
They utilize a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array, which places a 1-inch tweeter precisely in the acoustic center of a 6.5-inch midrange/woofer. This coaxial design creates a highly detailed, perfectly integrated soundstage.
Do the KEF R3 Meta speakers need a standalone subwoofer?
While the dual 6.5-inch drivers provide surprisingly deep bass extension for a bookshelf speaker, adding a dedicated subwoofer is highly recommended for home theater setups. Integrating a subwoofer like an SVS SB-1000 will fill out the lowest octaves perfectly.
