KEF R2 Meta Centre Channel Speaker - Walnut

Compact three-way centre channel speaker

Designed to fit all R-Series floorstanding loudspeakers, the R2 Meta features a 12th Gen Uni-Q® range with MAT™ and two 5. 25". It's compact enough for use in rooms. smaller while still delivering high quality sound even with the liveliest music and movies. This design is very versatile and can be used in LCR (left-middle-right).

Now with Metamaterial Absorption Technology

The R Series benefits directly from the technological innovations developed for The Reference, the flagship series that continually sets the bar for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Incorporating distinct technologies, the R Series delivers outstanding sonic performance. Breakthrough metamaterial absorption technology1 (MATTM) has been incorporated into the latest version of the R Series, and the 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array has been fine-tuned to maximize the impact of advances this technology and ensures the best possible performance.

The result is a series of seven exceptional loudspeaker models, designed to deliver exquisite detail and incredible insight. Whether you prefer traditional two-channel HiFi, multi-channel home theater, or both, the R-Series presents a level of detail that must be heard to believe.

Revolutionary sound absorption with MAT™

At the heart of the latest R-Series is Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), a groundbreaking innovation that takes the performance of the 12th generation Uni-Q loudspeaker array to new heights of precision and clarity.

The MAT is a very complex maze-like structure in which each complex channel effectively absorbs a specific frequency. When combined, the channels act like an audio black hole, absorbing 99% of unwanted sound from behind the tweeter, eliminating distortion and delivering clear, natural audio performance. more natural.

12th generation Uni-Q®

The exclusive 12th Gen Uni-Q driver array with the MAT is found in all seven R-Series models and delivers incredibly detailed performance. It is the result of decades of accumulated in-house knowledge and the application of state-of-the-art simulation and analysis tools. There are many developments and they all contribute to the outstanding performance of the R series.

The Uni-Q driver array has been redesigned to maximize the performance improvements offered by MAT. The tapered waveguide combines the tweeter dome with a new metamaterial absorber that has been specifically designed for its depth-based custom-engineered driver.

The ultra-low distortion midrange motor design uses a copper ring embedded in the motor's air gap to minimize inductance and variation in inductance with winding position. This reduces mid-range THD and reduces thermal compression, which improves efficiency.

Perfecting every detail

At KEF, innovative engineering goes hand in hand with great design and the product design team strives to create simple and elegant loudspeakers. While every design choice KEF makes is driven by sonic performance, visual appeal is of vital importance and the R Series proves that speakers can fit into any room. room, both visually and acoustically and aesthetically.

With a choice of matching home theatre models to pair with, the stage is set for an immersive movie experience.

Microfibre grilles

The R-Series is designed to perform at its best with or without the grille. The specialized microfiber meshes are made from multiple layers of material and the edges are polished for a suede feel.

With 1801 precision cut outs for each driver, you'll get great performance even with the drivers covered, which is great news if you feel the need to protect them. Magnetic latches provide a secure and precise fit, matching the streamlined R-Series styling.
