KEF R5 Meta Floorstanding Speakers (Pair), White Gloss Overview
The KEF R5 Meta Floorstanding Speakers deliver an unparalleled audio experience incorporating the legendary British manufacturer's latest innovative speaker design and technology. The speaker's three-way bass reflex design houses a Uni-Q Driver Array featuring a 25mm tweeter, 125mm mid-range driver, and two 130mm bass drivers, resulting in rich and detailed sound across the entire frequency spectrum. KEF's Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MATTM) aids the driver design in providing accurate audio reproduction and further refines performance.
The R Series speakers feature a design that emphasises the drivers and eliminates resonances or turbulence caused by the bass port. KEF utilised Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to detect turbulence and resonant frequencies generated by the bass port and then eliminated these issues with their innovative Flexible Wall Bass Port solution. Additionally, the R Series benefits from KEF's advanced cabinet design, including Constrained Layer Damping construction for stability and rigidity, and Shadow Flare technology that reduces diffraction from the cabinet.

Excellent Sounds
The KEF R5 Meta Floostanding Speakers offer a three-way bass reflex design that is sure to send powerful, crisp sounds through your home. Thanks to years of acoustic experience, the latest 12th-generation Uni-Q Driver Array generates a sound with such precise detail, you will not want to stop the music. The 25 mm tweeter is placed right at the heart of the 125mm mid-range driver to create a central acoustic focal point to ensure that the sound reaches every part of the room. The two 130mm bass drivers will produce deep, thundering basslines that are sure to excite the listener.
Clear Listening
Are you tired of sound distortion affecting your favourite music? The KEF R5 Meta floor-standing speakers have you covered. The revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) is a maze-like structure that absorbs unwanted background noise or distortion to deliver a dynamic sound performance. The Shadow Flare feature dramatically reduces any harmful cabinet diffraction to lengthen the waveguide effect of the Uni-Q driver array to create a natural sound that will elevate your music.
Constrained Layer Damping
The KEF R5 Meta Floostanding Speakers aim to reduce background noise caused by the cabinet vibrating. Integrated with KEF's Constrained Layer Damping, the R5 Speakers are home to a reliable bracing system that allows the speaker cabinet to remain stationary. The speaker cabinets will change vibrations into heat so there is no extra noise created by the vibrations and ensures that the only sound you will hear is your music.
Great Bass Sound
The impactful sound of the bass is what makes your music-listening experience very special. The KEF R5's bass drivers will limit any additional resonances and will transmit the sound with extreme power. The drivers’ magnet system will generate a wide-reaching magnetic field to further reduce distortion and produce an opulent bass sound that you will never forget.
Flexible Bass Port
Thanks to the stylish flexible walls on the R series' bass ports, the R5 speakers will forbid longitudinal resonances from negatively affecting the mid-range driver. Turbulence is dramatically delayed using computational fluid dynamics, so you can get totally lost in a utopia of sound. The KEF R5 Meta Floostanding Speakers gift you with a 52 Hz - 28 kHz frequency response and make sure every music genre is optimised. The 4 ohms impedance range also gives the sound a polish to get you engrossed in your music.
Great Design
KEF's legendary cabinet design ensures long durability and also offers a great visual appeal that will light up your room. The R series speakers are extremely easy to set up and can connect to your HiFi separates with ease. The microfibre grilles include 1,801 precision-cut holes for each driver to deliver an outstanding sonic performance that is unparalleled. The Magnetic fixings ensure that the grilles will be tightly secured onto the R5 and fit in with home decor seamlessly.
