Kef Reference 1 Meta Speakers

Kef Reference 1 Meta Speakers

The Kef Reference 1 Meta Speakers are available for demonstration in our Hull store by request.

The one standmount model in the Reference series could be the only loudspeaker you ever need. A three-way model boasting KEF’s 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™, the KEF Reference 1 Meta is capable of delivering expansive, high-performance sound that goes way beyond what its relatively compact size would suggest was possible.

Since 1973, The Reference has continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Pioneering the use of digital technologies to achieve the highest audio accuracy, every pair can be matched within 0.5dB to the laboratory-maintained reference standard.

Since the first Reference speaker, KEF engineers have continued to innovate using what is possible with The Reference. Ground-breaking in its first incarnation, each subsequent iteration of The Reference has added to the world’s knowledge of the science of acoustics.

Since 1961, KEF have been creating remarkable award-winning loudspeakers at their UK home in Maidstone, Kent. As KEFs flagship HiFi speakers, The Reference is still being designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Maidstone today.
