The benchmark for bookshelf speakers
The only bookshelf speaker in The Reference series could be the only speaker you'll ever need. As a three-way model with KEF's 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™, the Reference 1 Meta is capable of delivering a wide, powerful sound, much more than its relatively compact size would suggest.
The benchmark of standards
Since 1973, The Reference has consistently set the standard for speakers and sound reproduction. As a pioneer in the use of digital technologies to achieve the highest sound accuracy, each pair can be tuned to the laboratory-tested reference standard with an accuracy of 0.5 dB.
Always innovative
Since the first Reference speaker, KEF technicians have constantly innovated with what is possible with The Reference. Groundbreaking in its initial incarnation, each subsequent iteration of The Reference has contributed to global knowledge in the field of acoustics.
Designed, developed, and handcrafted in the UK
We have been making remarkable, award-winning speakers at our headquarters in Maidstone, Kent since 1961. The Reference, our flagship HiFi speakers, are still designed, developed, and handcrafted in Maidstone to this day.
