About The KEF R7 Meta Floorstanding Speakers

The mid-sized floorstanding member of the R Series is as powerful as it is flexible. Its 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ ensures a crystal-clear performance with music and movies alike, while its two 6.5" hybrid aluminium bass drivers deliver accurate, dynamic bass.

Whether in stereo for music or in a home theatre set up the R Series makes exceptional acoustic performance more accessible. Now with the ground breaking Metamaterial Absorption Technology, the R Series reveals exquisite detail and incredible insight: truly an experience to savour.

Born From The Reference 

Since 1961, KEF's quest to reproduce immaculate sound has led to many acoustic innovations. The Reference is a case in point. Distilling decades of experience into an acoustic performance that is nothing short of exceptional, it is a design that continually sets the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Now the latest technological innovations have also made their way into the R Series.

Born From The Reference - KEF R Series Heritage

Since 1961, KEF’s pursuit of immaculate sound has led to countless acoustic innovations. The Reference remains a benchmark in high-fidelity loudspeakers, and now many of its groundbreaking technologies have been distilled into the KEF R Series, delivering exceptional performance for music and home theatre.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) in the R Series

At the heart of every KEF R Series speaker is Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™). This innovative, maze-like structure absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the back of the driver, virtually eliminating distortion and ensuring purer, more natural audio.

Uni-Q® Driver with MAT™ - Sit Anywhere, Hear Every Detail

The 12th Generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ is found across the R Series. Acting as a single point source, Uni-Q® disperses sound evenly throughout the room, removing the narrow ‘sweet spot’ and letting everyone enjoy the same natural, detailed sound wherever they sit.

Performance Redefined in KEF R Series Speakers

Every element of the KEF R Series design has been engineered for acoustic excellence. Tuned to reveal incredible detail and depth, the R Series recreates the excitement of a live performance, complete with all the emotion and nuance of the original recording.

Shadow Flare Technology - A Flare for Detail

Inherited from The Reference, Shadow Flare technology reduces harmful high-frequency diffraction by extending the Uni-Q® waveguide effect. The result is clearer treble and vastly improved fine detail for a more transparent, lifelike sound.

Precision Damping for Pure Performance

To achieve flawless sound, the R Series cabinet design uses constrained layer damping. Internal braces connected with a ‘lossy’ material convert unwanted vibrations into heat, ensuring the cabinet remains silent so all you hear is the music.

Beautiful by Design - KEF R Series Aesthetics

The KEF R Series speakers are as beautiful as they are powerful. Acoustic performance drives every design detail, from precision internal engineering to a sleek, minimal exterior that blends seamlessly into modern or traditional interiors.

Dedicated Microfibre Grilles

The R Series has been engineered to perform with or without grilles. The dedicated microfibre grilles are crafted from multiple layers of material and have a suede-like feel. With 1801 precision-cut holes for each driver, performance is ensured even when the drivers are covered. The magnetic fixings provide a secure and precise fit, in keeping with the clean styling of the R Series.
