KEF R6 Meta Center Channel Speaker

Featuring the same 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT as the R Series stereo models for perfect tonal matching, and two powerful 6.5’’ hybrid aluminium bass drivers, the R6 Meta delivers an immersive listening experience that brings movies vividly to life. It is highly versatile and can be used in an LCR (Left-Centre-Right) configuration.

Overview

The KEF R6 Meta center speaker is a compact speaker which features the same bespoke 12th-generation Uni-Q Driver Array as the R Series with the addition of MATTM technology. Boasting two powerful 6.5-inch hybrid aluminium bass drivers, an enhanced conical tweeter waveguide, a flexible bass port and performance-critical damping and decoupling, the KEF R6 Meta produces a full-bodied and articulate sound which highlights your music or media to perfection.

Employing the latest 12th-generation Uni-Q drivers and Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MATTM), these revolutionary speakers set the benchmark for bookshelf speakers to follow. Designed to integrate into LCR configurations along with traditional two-way Hi-Fi systems, the KEF R6 Meta speaker is suitable for any home listening environment.

A Flare for Detail

Derived from The Reference, Shadow Flare is an innovative way to cut harmful high frequency cabinet diffraction. It’s a carefully profiled transition that extends the waveguide effect of Uni-Q®. The treble escapes naturally because the ‘shadow region’ stops it getting to the cabinet edges. The result is vastly improved fine detail.

Performance critical damping

A solid platform is imperative for great sound. The R Series benefits from constrained layer damping, a system that uses internal braces joined by a ‘lossy’ interface. This material converts unwanted vibration into heat, ensuring that the cabinet makes the only sound it needs to: the sound of silence.

True Bass Definition

R Series bass drivers have a two-part structure with a shallow, concave, aluminium skin atop a paper cone. This stiffness, combined with the cone’s unique geometry, achieves a piston-like movement for punch and speed. The drivers’ magnet system creates a broad and uniform magnetic field which means more impressive and impactful bass.

Flexible port for cleaner bass

We only want to hear the drivers, not the resonances or turbulence created by a bass port. The R Series ports have innovative flexible walls. Using computational fluid dynamics, the flare and profile of each port is calculated to delay the onset of turbulence and the flexible port walls prevent resonances from coloring the midrange.
