KEF R7 Meta Mid-sized three-way floorstanding speaker

Product Description

Experience detailed, powerful and immersive sound with the KEF R7 Meta, a premium mid sized three way floorstanding speaker designed for high fidelity music listening and high performance home theater systems.

The R7 Meta combines KEF's advanced 12th Generation Uni Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) and a dedicated bass section featuring two 165 mm aluminium bass drivers. The result is a highly detailed, spacious and natural presentation with powerful low frequency performance.

At the heart of the speaker is KEF's latest Uni Q driver array, which positions the tweeter in the acoustic centre of the midrange driver. This allows the two drivers to work together as a single coherent acoustic source, helping produce a wide and consistent soundstage.

KEF's Metamaterial Absorption Technology absorbs unwanted high frequency energy from the rear of the tweeter, contributing to cleaner, more detailed and natural treble.

The R7 Meta's dedicated midrange driver handles vocals and instruments with exceptional clarity, while its twin bass drivers provide powerful and controlled low frequency performance. Its three way architecture allows each driver section to focus on its intended frequency range.

With its elegant floorstanding cabinet, the R7 Meta is equally suited to premium stereo systems, dedicated home theaters and luxury living rooms.
