Overview
Reference 2 Meta is the compact centre speaker in KEF's Reference series. KEF describes it as a centre speaker that can also be used as a left, centre or right (LCR) speaker. It is a three-way closed box design with a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) between two 165 mm bass drivers.
Hand-built by KEF in Maidstone, Kent, UK. KEF states that every pair is matched to within 0.5 dB of its laboratory-maintained reference standard.
Drivers and Technology
- 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with a 25 mm aluminium dome tweeter and 125 mm aluminium cone midrange, with KEF's tangerine waveguide
- Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) behind the tweeter, which KEF states absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter
- Midrange motor with a copper ring in the motor gap to reduce inductance, and a flexible decoupling chassis that isolates the Uni-Q array from the cabinet
- 165 mm (6.5 in.) aluminium cone bass drivers with a vented magnet assembly and large aluminium voice coil
- Shadow Flare front baffle surface designed to reduce cabinet diffraction around the Uni-Q array
- Cabinet shape and bracing designed with finite element analysis, with Constrained Layer Damping
- Closed box (sealed) cabinet
Home Theatre Use
- Centre channel speaker that KEF also specifies for left, centre and right (LCR) use
- Shares the same Uni-Q with MAT driver array as the other Reference Meta models
- Reference Meta cloth grille set available separately
