KEF Reference 5 Meta

The benchmark among hi-fi speakers

The flagship of The Reference series is the model against which all other high-performance loudspeakers are measured. Featuring the exceptionally powerful 12th Generation Uni-Q ® driver system with MAT, the Reference 5 Meta exemplifies the passion for innovation that underlies KEF's design philosophy.

The standard of standards

Since 1973, The Reference has continuously set the standard for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. A pioneer in using digital technologies to achieve the highest level of sonic accuracy, each pair can be matched to the lab-tested reference standard with an accuracy of 0.5dB.

Always innovative

Since the first Reference speaker, KEF engineers have continuously innovated to maximize the possibilities of The Reference. The first phase of the Reference loudspeaker was groundbreaking, and each subsequent phase has expanded the world's knowledge of the science of acoustics.

Designed, engineered and handcrafted in the UK

Since 1961, KEF have been manufacturing remarkable, award-winning loudspeakers at their UK facility in Maidstone, Kent. The Reference, the flagship hi-fi loudspeaker, is still designed, engineered and handcrafted in Maidstone today.
