KEF Reference 1 Meta
The benchmark of bookshelf speakers The one stand mount 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™, Reference 1 Meta is capable of delivering expansive, high-performance sound that goes way beyond what its relatively compact size would suggest was possible.
The benchmark of benchmarks Since 1973, The Reference has continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Pioneering digital technologies to achieve the highest audio accuracy, every pair can be matched within 0.5dB to the laboratory-maintained reference standard. Always innovating 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. Designed, engineered, and handcrafted in the UK Since 1961, we have created remarkable, award-winning loudspeakers at our UK home in Maidstone, Kent. As our flagship HiFi speakers, the Reference is still being designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Maidstone today.
